Ratatouille Filminin Mekansal Ölçek Bağlamında Analizi

Abstract

When the space used in the cinema is examined in the context of the discipline of architecture and fictionalized with appropriate techniques, it can awaken different perceptions in the audience. Films created with this perceptual architectural concern enrich and support the subject and operation of the film with the spaces created in the film. Architectural space is a subject that needs to be addressed and examined in terms of creating the appropriate environment for the necessary perceptions in the film to pass on to the audience. At the same time, scale is an important architectural parameter in terms of providing distinguishability and intelligibility in the space. Objects that are opposite to each other in scale come together and are distinguished and noticed. By using this method in movies, the message that needs to be emphasized can be conveyed to the audience more easily. It is aimed to read the place from a different point of view through a living creature with a different size than the usual human dimension in the movie Ratatouille which brings together a mouse and objects different from it in terms of scale. The film was found worth examining on the grounds of this feature. Case study is chosen as the research design in this study. The scenes to be examined were selected using purposive sampling technique. Thematic analysis was used while reading the scenes according to the concept of scale. As a result, four main themes were determined: character-human scale, and character-object scale, character-space scale, character-urban scale.
