The address plan ( jarg . Addressee ) - a kind of general plan in cinema and on television , designed to indicate the place and time of action [1] [2] . Unlike television, where the address plan carries a purely informational load, in the cinema it plays an artistic role, showing the relationship of the characters of the film with the surrounding space. Most often, an episode of a film or a television story begins with an address plan.
Designated concepts
Venue - the address plan indicates the city or locality in which the plot takes place, or where the characters arrive after the trip. To do this, famous buildings or structures are removed, for example, a shot with the Kremlin or the skyscrapers of Moscow State University suggests that the plot unfolds in Moscow , and the Peter and Paul Fortress points to St. Petersburg . In this capacity, targeted plans are actively used, for example, in the movie " Fir-trees ".
Time - sometimes it is necessary to orient the audience to indicate a temporary break in the narrative. For example, if an evening immediately follows a day’s episode, an interruption with a view of the night city makes it clear what time period is missing on the screen. This is especially important when the main action is shot in the interior, where the change of time of the day is invisible. In the same way, an epoch can be marked when an old steam train or horse-drawn carriage passes in the frame. For example, in the movie Back to the Future , the role of the address plan after Marty returned in 1985 is played by a frame with a city clock over which a helicopter flies.
Relationships - in this case, an address plan is necessary to maintain the viewer's orientation in the plot with many actors. Targeted general plans mounted with large ones make it possible to understand the relative position of the characters and the direction of their dialogs. An example is the film “ Garage ”, in which close-ups of individual actors alternate with targeted general and average , explaining the directions of views and cues.
Plot - an address plan can indicate not only the place of action, but also the action itself. For example, the general plan of the street where it is raining speaks of the downpour that has begun, which continues the plot.
