Abstract Details

2008, Master of Arts (MA), Ohio University, Film Scholarship (Fine Arts).
The goal of this thesis is to investigate the effect of long takes that appear in the films made after WWII. To demonstrate how these long takes provides the effects, this thesis employs two different approaches. The first approach synthesizes previous film studies' descriptions about three characteristics of long takes in post-WWII films. The second approach uses the discoveries from experimental psychology to discuss how spectators' attention functions while viewing these long takes. By comparing these two different approaches, this thesis also points out that cognitive film studies are valuable because they are able to illustrate the long-take viewing experience of spectators in general rather than only film scholars, who are the dominated voice in interpreting the effect of long takes in post-WWII films.
