Popis: Architecture and cinema are two disciplines that interact with each other in terms of creating spatial representations and feed each other in terms of design. While cinema provides an experimental environment for architects in terms of space design by changing the perception of space with the technical possibilities it provides in the process of viewing the space, architecture contributes to the formation of cinematographic meaning in cinema films thanks to its space-specific visual language. This interaction between the two disciplines over space allows the use of common design tools and techniques. Scale, which is a concept that enables the definition of the dimensions and physical boundaries of the space, is a design tool that is used in architecture and cinema and plays a role in the realization of space-based expression. The aim of this study, which is based on the problem that changes in space and human scale can change the meaning and function of space, is to reveal the role of scale in the perception of space and the formation of meaning in the context of the interaction of architecture and cinema disciplines. The scope of the study consists of theoretical explanations about architectural space, scale in architectural space, human scale, common and distinctive features of cinematographic space with architectural space, and the use of scale in cinematographic space. In order to investigate the semantic relationship between space and scale, the 2016 movie "The BFG" was chosen as a sample. The fact that “The BFG” is a film in which spaces and characters in non-existent scales are fictionalized in addition to use of real space and that it provides visual data on the subject of scale in space in terms of both architecture and cinema has been effective in the selection of the film as a sample. In order to examine the research subject and collect data, the film frames are determined by considering the scale relationship between the characters and the spaces, and the frame-by-frame analysis method is applied to reveal the meaning of the space in the movie depending on the scale. The selected film frames are examined under five main headings: the scale relationship between the characters, the characters and the architectural spaces and the space accessories, the natural spaces, the scale relationship between the boundary elements of the space, and the scale relationship between the characters and the space with the effect of light and shadow. As a result of the analysis made by considering the meaning that the shooting scales used to add to the space, it was concluded that the scale is not only a concept that defines the physical boundaries of the space, but also an element that creates and changes both the architectural and cinematographic meaning depending on its relationship with the human scale.
