Answer to Question 1
A major difference between stage dialogue and screen dialogue is degree of density. One of the necessary conventions of the live theater is articulation: If something is bothering a character, we can usually assume that he or she will talk
about the problem. The theater is a visual as well as aural medium, but in general, the
spoken word is dominant: We tend to hear before we see. If information is conveyed
visually in the theater, it must be larger than life, for most of the audience is too far
from the stage to perceive visual nuances. The convention of articulation is necessary,
therefore, to compensate for this visual loss. Like most artistic conventions, stage
dialogue is not usually realistic or natural, even in so-called realistic plays. In real
life, people don't articulate their ideas and feelings with such precision. In movies,
the convention of articulation can be relaxed.
Answer to Question 2
In the technique of sound montage, the dialogue of one character overlaps
with that of another, or several others. The effect is almost musical, for the language
is exploited not necessarily for the literal information it may convey, but as pure
sound orchestrated in terms of emotional tonalities
