A New Dimension of Film-Experience, An Introducation to Aesthetic Communication

Abstract

Comparison of three different models between mass-communication and verbal communication and aesthetic communication, is useful to explain the meaning of art media. Encounter of. audience with messages occurs always in time stream. And, photoplays and broadcasting plays are always carried out in time duration and have their genuine temporal structures. Sometimes, temporal moment of various messages coincides with that of those plays. Today, senders of messages have a freedom for selecting their suitable temporal strctures. This means that aesthetic moment of mass-media can be satisfied under cetain conditions. Analytic dimension of film-experience has been too much discussed, but, synthetic dimension of it remains uncriticized till now. M. Merleau-Ponty has given a good suggestion about the latter.
