Description
‘I am the cinema-eye. I am an architect’, wrote Soviet film director Dziga Vertof in the 1920s, describing potently how film not only mirrors existing spaces but rather, with its unique capacity to frame, collage and montage is able to organize and even create spaces. In a most general understanding, the interior in film comprises the space of interaction, negotiation, drama, conflict, and resolution. In the interior, architectural spaces are lived in and reflect style, class, programme, time, behaviour. Filmed interiors become coded compositional elements through their deliberate detail (scale, materiality, colour, light and texture) as designed by the film architect, filmed by the cinematographer, and edited in postproduction. The focus of this elective is on the production design of wicked houses, absurdist rooms, industrial interiors, archeological and underground interiors, and many more. Students analyse given interiors (whole films and/or extracts/scenes) and present their findings in terms of:
Light/Technology/Dramaturgy/Time/Frame/Composition/Colour/Materiality/Props/ Period/Atmosphere/Furniture/Costume
