The answer should have a good introduction, body and conclusion. The student can write an answer on the lines of the following-Cinema is a recording medium. When a writer writes a scene, he does describe in all details as we have seen in case of great novelists like Gorky and Dostoevsky. But that entire experience is received in verbal form by the reader. In cinema, a scene is realized on the screen by various means. A scene will have a setting- like an interior/exterior of the house, building, park, pasture, etc. Thus architecture comes into play.The scene will be shot at a certain time of the day/night, in a certain season, will have appropriate lighting, objects, colours, forms, textures; so, elements of painting and sculpture are in operation. The scene will have the presence of actors in their costumes, speech and interrelationships; hence the most vital element of theatre is present. Music and atmospheric sounds form an important part of the film language. Language is present in spoken form as well written form. Thus we are always dealing with a composite language, when we are dealing with cinema.
