Answer to Question 1

Because the stage is a three-dimensional space, the director has the advantage
of depth as well as breadth to work with. Through the use of platforms, they can also
exploit height on the stage. The theatrical director must use certain space conventions to
ensure maximum clarity. In the cinema, the director converts three-dimensional space
into a two-dimensional image of space. Even with deep-focus photography, depth is
not literal. But the flat image has certain advantages. A camera can be placed virtually
anywhere, so the film director is not confined to a stationary set with a given number of
walls.

Answer to Question 2

Art Deco is a style that dominated the Americas and Europe from about 1925 to
roughly 1945. Streamlined, spare of adornment, elegantly curved, or
playfully zigzagging, Art Deco was considered the cutting edge of modern design. In
fact, in the United States, the style was often referred to as Moderne in the 1930s, the
heyday of Art Deco. It was sleek and sophisticated, often making use of such modern
industrial materials as plastic (sometimes called Bakelite or Lucite in the 1930s),
aluminum, chrome, and glassblock. Lighting sources were frequently indirect, emanating
from wall sconces or streaming dramatically through translucent walls of glass that
curved exuberantly in defiance of right-angled sobriety. Stylized statuaryusually
slender female nudes or powerfully muscled seminude malesepitomized the glamour of
being very avant-garde and incredibly cool
