Abstract

Bilim kurgu sineması ile mekân temsili arasında iletişim kuran bu araştırma, mekân kullanımının görsel anlatı üzerindeki etkilerini disiplinler arası ilişkiler üzerinden değerlendirmeyi amaçlamıştır. Bu bağlamda sinema sanatının mekân tasarımı için kurduğu deneysel ortamı bilim kurgu sineması üzerinden tartışan araştırma; ‘bilim kurgu sinemasında mekân temsilinin görsel anlatı üzerindeki etkileri’ ve ‘bilim kurgu sinemasında mekân temsilinin görsel anlatıya entegrasyonu’ olmak üzere iki araştırma sorusu etrafında şekillenmiştir. Nitel araştırma deseni ile gerçekleştirilen çalışma kapsamında araştırma sorularına yanıt aramak için Peirce'ın semiyotik analiz modeli tercih edilmiştir. Bu çerçevede Ridley Scott’ın Prometheus (2012) adlı yapımında görsel anlatıya doğrudan ya da dolaylı olarak etki eden mekânsal unsurlar, semiyotiğin üçlü ilişkisi (gösteren, gösterilen ve yorumlayan) üzerinden çözümlenmiştir. Gerçekleştirilen analiz sonucunda mekân temsilinin, bilim kurgu sinemasına biçim, renk, ışık, doku, malzeme ve strüktür gibi bir dizi tasarım faktörü aracılığıyla entegre edildiğini ve bu faktörlerin bilim kurgu sinemasının görsel anlatıları üzerinde güçlü bir etkiye sahip olduğunu çıkarsamak mümkündür.

Abstract

This research examines the relationship between science fiction cinema and space representation, with the aim of evaluating the effects of the use of space on visual narrative through interdisciplinary relations. In this context, the study discusses the experimental environment established by cinema art for space design through science fiction cinema and is shaped around two research questions: 'the effects of space representation on visual narrative in science fiction cinema' and 'the integration of space representation in science fiction cinema into visual narrative'. The study employed a qualitative research design and addressed the research questions using Peirce's semiotic analysis model. This framework was used to analyze the spatial elements that directly or indirectly affect the visual narrative in Ridley Scott's Prometheus (2012) through the triple relationship of semiotics (representamen, object, and interpretant). The analysis indicates that the representation of space is integrated into science fiction cinema through a series of design factors, including form, color, light, material, and structure. These factors exert a significant influence on the visual narratives of science fiction cinema.
