Reading Response: Michel de Certeau

This passage talks about the difference between place and space and analyses the deep meaning of these two words from different angles. First of all, place, to sum it up, is a static region composed of multiple elements and space is to think about space vectors, space velocities, is a dynamic three-dimensional thing.

Space is the thing that presents as the objective existence of the positional differences between all objects on display. Because space is everywhere in real life, as long as the film is still “realistic”, everything in the film is in space. In the shooting of movies, place can be transformed into space and space can also be transformed to place by arranging the growth of characters and different ways of narration.

Many films use shooting techniques and plot arrangements to shape the atmosphere of space through their understanding of space and place.And that is the beauty of movies.
