Abstract

In this study, we aim to clarify the spatial characterization of film, which is influenced from not only film set but also casting role and a story. In this paper as the first step of the study, we focus on famous sixteen Charles Chaplin's films. To consider the locales of the films, we extract it and set criteria of background locale. Next we analyze the ratio of and the temporal transition of locale description, more over considered the attribute of the casting role. At the result, the character of the street symbolically expressed the feature of the background locales; Slum, Country, City-outside, City-inside and Special. We broke the temporal transition down into three patterns; Stay-type, Wandering-type and Pass-type, and clarified the contrast between main locales of each film by analysis of the locale organization.
