| Summary: | 碩士 === 中原大學 === 室內設計學系 === 87 === Cinematic films are selected from the versatility of media as the study subject for the reason of seeking different space experience. Amongst media, the space imagery and ambiance presented in films and novels are purely exercise of imagination. In novels, space is illustrated by words; the format is more of imaging while movies express the element of space through imagery. In comparison, the space experience imparted by films are of design nature, capable of such extend and surprise element that actual space can hardly compete with. On account of which, the study is focused on the study of cinematic space.
Another way of putting cinematic space is backdrop design. The design of scene is vital to movies; it is the most fundamental element to movie plot as well as the method of conceptual conveyance. From the perspective of drama, operas and stage plays yield the most refined scene design. Through arduous rehearsals and unique stage design, the story scenario is able to project strong intensity, making scene design imperative to the narration of ambiance. Assuming that the scene design of movies is endowed with the same function, the stage design flow and techniques of operas are used to observe the unique space experience imparted by movies. The space in movies with stage characteristics thus discovered is then defined as the space of stage tension in examining the five issues of: (1) the meaning of space and the relationship with the plot; (2) scenes of frontal panoramic and distant views; (3) the simulated perspective effect unique to stage design; (4) the movement amongst spaces; (5) the special meanings presented by the objects in space. These elements are employed to interpret the unique space characteristics in movies. Through these viewpoints, five space features are sorted out: intermediary, direction, stretch, movement and symbolism. The space experiences examined in the five space elements above are then developed into the theory on cinematic space which is the main and final object of the study.
