Unlike literary fiction, which is typically based on characters, situations and events that are entirely imaginary, cinema always has a real referent, called the "pro-filmic," which encompasses everything existing and done in front of the camera. Since the emergence of Classical Hollywood style in the early 20th century, narrative, usually in the form of the Feature Film , has held dominance in commercial cinema and has become popularly synonymous with "the movies." Classical, invisible filmmaking (what is often called " Realist " fiction) is central to this popular definition. In this style, narrative and characters are foregrounded, helping the audience to lose themselves in the unfolding fiction. SEE ALSO |
