Environment modelling in film

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to approach the theory of diegetical spaces in the film world from a novel viewpoint. Although according to diegetical studies the sound and film elements are classified into different diegetical dimensions, the diegetical world itself cannot be taken as a whole. In the present work I propose five different levels or environments of diegetical world. These five environments are: 1) Artistic reality 2) Metareality 3) Documentality 4) Metadocumentality 5) Hyperreality. In the second part of the article environment modelling film language is described. To help classification of different environments I suggest and define the term of “environmental references”. These are the minor elements of film language that guide the viewers’ experience of film as belonging to one of these five categories. Environmental references are divided into two groups: fictional and factual environmental references. Fictional environmental references are used to emphasize the fictionality of a film and factual environmental references to stress a film’s documental value. Both groups have subdivisions. The present article gives a framework for further studies on diegetical environments of films in various cultural and ideological backgrounds.
