it's unique in its existence as a single one created from a compendium of others: performance, in the forms of acting, singing or dance; literature, in the forms of story and script; the visual, incorporating painting, sculpture and architecture within the photographic mise-en-scène. And of course, music.
...

Unless there are one or more I've neglected, I can't think of another art form that's essentially comprised of all the others.

Um, opera? Dance (or danse)? A Julie Taymor stage production which defies traditional boundaries ...

They often feature music, singing, dancing, the artistry of costume design and set design - and at the heart of it, storytelling.

Live theater (opera and danse are, both, forms of live theater) can sometimes even take it one step further, by inviting the audience to become participants in the production--something film as we usually conceive of it can never do.

At the risk of sounding middlebrow, I'd venture to say that musical theater comes the closest among the performing arts to ticking off the boxes as an amalgam of other art forms, if only for its incorporation of spoken drama into the mix.

Spiderwort has already zeroed in on the one artistic element that film adds and requires: that of photography, which not only documents live action but adds an additional artistic layer in the forms of focus, composition, framing and movement, as well as the aforementioned montage. .
