Empathetic Space on Screen: Constructing Powerful Place and Setting
D'Adamo, Amedeo
In this book we learn that there is a clear but complex relationship between setting and character on screen. Certain settings stand out above others--think of the iconic gooey dripping tunnels that Ripley stumbles through inAliens, Norman's bird-decorated parlour inPsychoor the dark Gotham of certain Batman movies. But what makes these particular settings so powerful and iconic? Amedeo D'Adamo explains why we care about and cry for certain characters, and then focuses on how certain places then become windows onto their emotional lives. Using popular case studies such asApocalypse Now, Amelie, HomelandandThe Secret Garden, this original and insightful book is the first to really explain what makes some settings so effective, revealing an important but as yet uncovered machinery of empathy in visual narrative space. An invaluable resource for students, academics and indeed young filmmakers designing their very own narratives for space on screen.
