Cinematic Imagery in Tārikh-e Beyhaghi

Authors

Abstract

Imagery has a vast function whose examples can be seen in poetry, photography and movie. Cinematic techniques make it possible to objectively represent natural scenes, because the precondition for making any image is an exact look on natural beauties. This ability could be seen in literary works of the past. The present article is concerned with a literary narration of Iran History called Tārikh-e Beyhaghi and concentrates on some parts of the book which are dramatically and visually rich. The study aims at introducing the cinematic techniques used in this book through verifying them by instances from the world famous movies.
