The Functions of Space in Film Shot

摘要

Screenwriters consider of the story world and write on the pictures to construct the imaginary world. Then the every presence of space in one film is designed by director, cameraman, art designer, sound engineer. They all give the space special significance which narrate the whole story. The thesis takes space that presents in film shot as research objects, taking HER, DEVILS ON THE DOORSTEP, LALA LAND AND CLOUD ATLAS as examples. Space in film will not only be the background, scene or spectacle, but we will analyse the spatial signification and spatial aesthetics that a shot can have.
