Linary Image between Representation and Illusion:Reshaping an Ontology of Cinematic Image
This article explores the essence of cinematic images from a visual perspective,emphasizing the binary tension between representation and illusion.Cinematic imagesderive from the representational quality of photographic images while creating the illusion of movement through optical and cognitive mechanisms.Film is not simply a record of reality,but rather an illusion that allows viewers to experience motion.Different directors'interpretations of representation and illusion have led to diverse film theories.The characteristics of film make it a kind of"rational magic",recording reality while also creating illusions.Ultimately,cinematic images achieve a unity of representation and illusion within the linear encoding of time.
