[Video Essay] Voyeurism by Architecture in Film

Posted on u3575590@connect.hku.hk

  The most impressive content of the field trip is voyeurism. This is because I personally think voyeurism is an original feature that only buildings can have. In this lecture, we learn about architecture and how buildings work in movies as a whole. These architectural elements play various roles. There is a role such as improving immersion by communicating the background of the play more realistically to the reader. However, I think the role of improving immersion can be brought up in elements of movies other than architecture. Thus I thought about the original role that only architecture brings, and

[Field-Homework 3]Public City

Posted on u3574574@connect.hku.hk

  Title: Public city Director: Yumin Kim Description of the theme & the setting What is the most public space in a city? My hypothesis is that the most public space is the lobby. In fact, I believe that the lobby is qualified to be considered the most ‘public’ of all spaces. Unlike private spaces that are only accessible to the inhabitants of the city, the lobby can be accessed by both natives and foreigners alike. In a way, the lobby is, inherently, more encompassing than other spaces. For example, the lobby apparently does not have the privacy of the

Title: Linked City Director: LI XIANG The Theme Of The Video Italian cartoonist Makkox said, ” balconies were the first social media.” A balcony is a part of a private space lying between the inner space of your house and the public area of the city.

In this video, I mainly focus on the function of the balcony in connecting personal space and public space and how it provides a new social contact method in the post-pandemic era.
