Abstract.
The article explores the concepts of “mise-en-scène,” “shot composition,” and “artistic image,” defining their fundamental aspects, interrelation, and differences in their application as directorial tools in the process of working on a theatrical production and an audiovisual work.
This work emphasizes the importance of creating an artistic visual language to preserve the profound impact of screen works on the audience in the context of contemporary challenges associated with the oversaturation of audiovisual content production and consumption. This research represents an attempt to conduct a comparative analysis of the directorial process in shaping artistic images in theater and cinema, using examples from the play “Gas” (1923) directed by Les Kurbas, as well as the films “The Stone Cross” (1968) by Leonid Osykа, “Effi Briest” (1974) by Rainer Werner Fassbinder, and “12 Years a Slave” (2013) by Steve McQueen. Such an approach allows for the identification of methods for artistically emphasizing key plot events and demonstrates how this process contributes to the exploration of the underlying themes in the works while influencing the imagination and sensory experience of the audience.
