Course Description:	The course is aimed to explore the interrelationship between Architecture and diverse kinds of film making. The importance of scenography in a movie making and architecture as a discipline of scenography making are highlighted. Finally, the architectural space is reconsidered as a scene making, considering its impact on the user perception. The course combines theoretical review of current literature and critical movie watching followed by group discussions.
Course Objectives:	The main objective of this course is to understand the interrelation between architectural spatial organisation/ design and the angle of view. The later is accepted as the genesis of film making and industry.
