Field Of Film Analysis

The focus is on the significance of the existence of the fundamental principles of architectural design in the field of cinema, it is also intended to support this assumption with certain examples in filmic medium. In other words, with an agreement that basic principles of architectural design can be treated as an apparatus for the design of a film, this comparison will emphasize not only the significant role of architectural basic design elements in the process of filmmaking; but also emphasize the examples to reveal how this correspondence transcends an alternative way in reading/analyzing films. In the field of architecture; point, line, plane and volume were referred as the ‘conceptual elements’ (primary elements of design); and their …show more content…
Beside these, the organizational correspondences of the visual elements were investigated under geometric values based upon generating agents such as point, line, coordinate system or composite applications. Moreover, in order to determine the position and the selection of appropriate elements to be employed in a composition without any geometric restriction, the relation between different elements was thought to be supplemented by ordering principles; and those principles were defined as unity, balance, harmony, contrast, repetition, dominance, hierarchy, axis, symmetry, rhythm, datum and transformation. On the other hand, the fundamental elements and principles of cinematic design were investigated in terms of three main sub groups. In this respect, narrative, which consists of all the imagined conditions related with story, character, time, space, cause and effect relations, development patterns and plot, was thought of constituting the first one. The second one was accompanied with the term of mise-en scene including all the visual and topological conditions of the scene. And last, montage/editing was taken into account including all the relational and organizational possibilities of shots and sequences basically based upon spatial, temporal, rhythmic and graphical …show more content…
In architecture as in cinema, the mixing of "physicality" with the world of signs leads to what Godard calls the light of their absence of explanation.'It is when we touch the depths of personal and collective memory that architecture and cinema reveal their constructive force. It is when architecture and cinema deploy their physical means their interactions and their assemblage that they show their mythopoetic inspiration. The production of images by cinema is the epitome of the physical construction of space by
