Topografie krajobrazu filmowego

Abstract

The paper raises the issue of the methodological problem of topography of a film landscape. For this approach are equally important – the visual discourse oriented on an aesthetic analysis mode and the cultural practices enabling to recognize the elements of life and experience in the processes of film perception and transformation of landscapes. The fundamental thesis is the statement that it is possible to use the practice of visual mapping to explore a landscape and place. The mapping in a film is understood as at the same time a way of thinking of a creator (director, operator) and a recipient of a work (a viewer), which is connected with adopting by them certain point of view and the application/ discovering of a specific tactics. Among the strategies of mapping, according to Teresa Castro, there were distinguished the following: chorography (description), topophilia (love of place) and surveying.
