| Abstract |
This study set out to make a list of movies that used the architectural styles of ancient Greece and their related sets and locations and compare and analyze them. The ultimate purpose was to identify the characteristics of space in movies to make use of them in education about the history of Greek architecture. The methods adopted in the study were as follows: first, the study had a general examination into the architectural styles of ancient Greece, categorized movies set in the Greek period, and made a list of them. Second, the results were used to identify the spaces of ancient Greek architecture in each of the movies and the characteristics of their styles. Third, these were compared and analyzed to figure out the characteristics of their flows and select their representative movies. The findings were as follows: first, there was a trend of detailed expressions of backgrounds in movies based on the application of framing shooting for angles of depression in case of Greek architecture whose historical research had been enough in the history of architecture. Second, many movies set in Greece repeatedly reproduced certain buildings that tended to be more complete in proportion and form. Third, "Troy" is the most creative film in terms of visuality through effective combination of large-scale set-up era and CG technology. Finally, “300" and “300: Rise of an Empire", which are representative of the middle Greek period, can be seen as a case of demonstrating that CG is a very advantageous technique for applying architectural historical characteristics to the set space in the film. |
