Methodology of on-Screen Adaptation of a Visual Copy of an Object in Mise-en-Scene

Abstract

Actualizing the discourse of the multi-level screen space, the present study places the main emphasis on the process of creating the visual copy of an object and its placement in the mise-en-scene both during its visual capture and while video editing.
The study considers the practical application of this artifact using a monitor screen or a mobile device in the filming process and in post-production in the form of augmented reality exemplified by an element of additional visuals.
The author gives relevant examples of the simultaneous usage in the miseen-scene of a portion of real space when it is fixed within a complex frame and points out the essence of both the background picture of the acting space and the backdrop in the screen image of the monitor-scenery, along with this investigating the placement of objects in perspective in a screen space which comprises several visual planes.
Close attention is given to the extra-spatial display of an object inserted directly into the screen space as augmented reality, which is «played up» in the shot by means of classic camera techniques used for large-screen, television, and video filming. Particular attention is paid to creative techniques of editing at the points of transition of the image of an object between two screen worlds, thus combining different screen spaces into a single closed composition of the complex frame, which emphasizes the visual multidimensionality of the screen construct.
On the basis of this work intermediate results in the study of television screen space are confirmed, and the concept of «copying technique» is introduced into scientific discourse.
The present publication is intended for television and cinema professionals, as well as creators of Internet content, it will be also useful for training specialists in creative universities, and be of interest to a wide range of readers and viewers.
