This study, based on the premise that phenomenological temporality operates at the experiential level where meaning is constituted, examined how the film’s narrative engages in scene-making to represent the flow of a character’s inner time. The results of the study are presented as the compositional temporality of the film narrative, the existential temporality of the protagonist, and the perceptual temporality of the scene as follows. First, the narrative of the film is revealed as a dual temporality in which horizontal continuity and the condensation of the consciousness cross-section overlap. Second, in the film, the inner side of the protagonist is structured into the temporality of a branch point where the starting point of the event and the existential horizon converge. Third, the perceptual temporality of the scene is composed of the manifestation of temporal emotion by synchronization of sadness. This study sought to examine the logic of phenomenological temporality within short-form narratives, focusing on the temporality of a compressed narrative and analyzing its narrative structure, spatio-temporal dimensions, and scene-making. Future research is expected to expand discussions on the layers of time-consciousness and perception in more diverse directions.
