"Facing the camera",a cinematic technique that places the characters directly in front of their audience,has undergone complex transformations in terms of filmmaking practice and theoretical interpretation.These changes are also symptomatic of how the ways and power relationships of"viewing"evolve through time.The movement from the"viewable"to the"unviewable"reflects the progressive making of narrative film principles and Hollywood film grammar's dominant influence over the world cinema;the shift from the"unviewable"to the"viewable"reveals filmmakers'political rebellion against industrial conventions and social realities,highlighting film's mediality and rendering the audience as a subject with latent autonomy;while the transformation from the"viewable"to"viewing"in an artistic and technical sense attempts to touch and invite the audience through its cinematic gaze,turning the distanced observers into active agents.
