The german word that refers to something in which the whole seems greater than the sum of its parts is

Gestalt

Explanation:

Gestalt is a word of Germanic origin meaning "form" or "figure", and the term was adopted by psychologists and had its meaning extended to the "unified whole", that is, the perception of the unity of various elements.

More generally, it is the set of physical, biological, physiological, or symbolic entities that together form a unified concept, pattern, or configuration that is greater than the sum of its parts.

"The fundamental 'formula' of Gestalt theory can be expressed as follows," he wrote. “There are sets, the behavior of which is not determined by its individual elements, but where the process of the part is determined by the intrinsic nature of the whole. It is Gestalt's aim to determine the nature of such sets ”(1924).

In short: The basic principle of Gestalt theory is that the integer is interpreted differently than the sum of its parts.

sorry. my computer broke down and i had about 3 doctor's appointments. i'm just catching up now after reinstalling a router.

i think you best answer to this is d. some film directors were very picky about roles and lighting and and which side of the face the camera should catch. they were also picky about sound and background noise and chatter and music and all sorts of what we would consider trivial things. a stage director has to have all this ironed out before the curtain goes up. if he doesn't he better do it soon. if he doesn't notice, critics soon will, and they are not a very nice bunch.

e: both have the power to ask for rewrites. theater directors are always yammering about act 2.

c is true. both can ask for any number of things during rehearsals. the reason i wouldn't pick c is because a film director can make changes anytime during shooting, including when he thinks they ought to be done shooting.

b i didn't know what blocking was and i can't find a good description. if you have one and think b is true, go for it.

a a film director quite frequency chooses the leading lady or man. he may not have the final word, but he chooses. sometimes a theater director has no choice. a is generally not true.
