In the early years of cinema, filmmakers frequently drew on the conventions of nineteenth-century theatrical melodrama, utilizing static camera placements that replicated a theater audience's perspective and relying on exaggerated acting styles. Many film historians have characterized this period as a mere transitional phase wherein cinema was subordinate to theater. However, film scholar Elena Rossi argues that this reliance on theatricality was not a failure of artistic imagination or a lack of technological maturity, but rather a deliberate narrative strategy. According to Rossi, early filmmakers utilized familiar theatrical structures to establish a legible narrative framework for audiences who were completely unaccustomed to the new medium, thereby facilitating their transition into the visual grammar of film editing and dynamic camerawork that would soon follow.
