Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The principle of "dynamization of space" refers to the manipulation of space within a scene to create a sense of movement or action, while "spatialization of time" refers to the use of space to convey the passage of time. Choice C, a live theatrical drama presented on a single set, does not involve any manipulation of space within the scene and therefore does not demonstrate either principle. The other choices all involve some form of spatial manipulation or use of space to convey time or movement.
