Investigate the phenomenon of seeing-as in cinema through a dialogue between phenomenology and Ludwig Wittgenstein's grammatical method, assessing how technical apparatuses mediate perceptual experience.
Applied a philosophical framework synthesizing phenomenological intentionality and Wittgensteinian grammatical analysis of aspect perception.
Conducted a conceptual case analysis of Alfred Hitchcock's film Rear Window to examine the perceptual effects of cinematic recording and editing.
Demonstrated that cinema challenges natural perceptual models by adding technical, symbolic, and temporal dimensions beyond classical Gestalt form analysis.
Showed that recording and editing apparatuses generate distinct meanings rather than passively replicating direct sensory experience.
