[audiobook] Moment of Action: Riddles of Cinematic Performance by Murray Pomerance in Arts-Photography

Description

Films use architecture as visual shorthand to tell viewers everything they need to know about the characters in a short amount of time. Illustrated by a diverse range of films from different eras and cultures; this book investigates the reciprocity between film and architecture. Using a phenomenological approach; it describes how we; the viewers; can learn how to read architecture and design in film in order to see the many inherent messages. Architecturersquo;s representational capacity contributes to the plausibility or reality possible in film. The book provides an ontological understanding that clarifies and stabilizes the reciprocity of the actual world and a filmic world of illusion and human imagination; thereby shedding light on both film and architecture.
