Brutalist architecture | Its Influences on Film Settings 

thank you very much... as a small youtube channel this means a lot to me.. i'm glad you like the content!

thanks a lot!

some good points there! i do agree with that too. several filmmakers would rather curtail the visual clutter on screen. of course there are people like wes anderson or hayao miyazaki with their complexity in visual details on each frame to that also enhance the audiences cinematic experience. but when it comes to these films like the blade runner or the clockwork orange, i think the stories thematically fit just right with the brutalist architecture. just as much as how apt it is with anderson and his intentional chaotic visual designs in his films. thank you for your input! appreciate it.

yeah, it's one of the films that features the brutalist architecture in it. amazing film too from Andrew Niccol. sorry that i've forgotten about Gattaca. thank you for your information!

So did the Hunger Games

Glen Werline thank you very much for watching. i’m glad that you like it! i know that you’ll do far better than this for your thesis writing. can’t wait to see your output and good luck!

Thank you very much! I must agree with what you’ve said. I think that the fact that these were uglier from the first time we looked at it, have probably allowed some room for it to grow on us as the time goes by. And also the nostalgic bit that you said: i totally get it as well. It might not be an aesthetic that I’d go for on my own build. But it’s the one that I have a strong feeling about, especially the sincerity of the building, since the concrete surfaces aren’t meant to be painted for these kind of work but rather fungi or mold that overtakes the concrete after years- I think makes it sorts of ‘brutal’ and interesting.

thank you.. will definitely be doing more video essays in the future!

Mohamad Amerul Zufar thank you for your kind words.. i’ll try my best to make more videos with quality contents.. please keep watching!

hey thanks for your kind words! thanks for the information. interesting to know le corbusier’s design has made in India as well! i think a lot of older universities or colleges buildings made in the 60s have been inspired by the brutalist architecture. at least my university do! eventhough my faculty was built only 20 years ago, it does have that brutalist element in it. the roughness and tough look with metal fittings to modernize it just a little bit. other than that, non architecture people won't be able to tell if it were made 50 years ago or recent. thanks for watching!

@@circleology Man i just went through you yt channel, it has really amazing stuff, at least i personally think so,.and there will be a lot like minded people out there. Hope you continue to make more of these videos and your channel do reach out to right audience and grows exponentially. Thank you sharing these videos 😊. Love from Punjab, India.

That is true.

thank you for watching!

Absolutely agree.. in films their architectures and interior designs are almost always intentional. they always serve purposes to highlight either the character or the movie itself!

thank you! appreciate it!

hey thanks for watching! appreciate your kind words. I’m always looking towards improving my videos as I go.

@@circleology hey men i wonder which editting program do you use for cuts and graphical/general effects. I would really appreciate if you can write down here all post-production programs and tools, your editing inspired me. thank you already!

@@omersonmez6959 i’ve been using final cut pro x (fcp) for all of my videos. if there’s any special effects required i’ll try to find my way in doing it all in fcp albeit challenging than using a dedicated special effects software. i do use after effects though now and then if required. hope this will motivate you to make better content soon!

@@circleology thank you very much circleogy, turned my notifications on your channel and i hope you share more with us soon.

@@omersonmez6959 no worries. i’ll try and make a content every month or two. it’s difficult to do frequent uploads when you’re working as well. writing and planning these essays can be challenging too. editing can take awhile (depends on how much details you wanna add), but the reward at the end in is really satisfying regardless of the views. i hope these challenges won’t discourage you to make your own short documentaries or essay videos as they’re really fun albeit time consuming. i would have done something easier for me to upload daily, like vlogs for instance. and it’s easier to gain viewers too from vlogging as we’re more accessible and connected to the audiences. but it won’t be fun, at least for me. good luck and i’ll watch your video/s to, whenever you decided to make it! thanks

thank you really appreciate your comment! I agree with your thoughts as well. would've been amazing if those incredible blade runner 2049 sets were built in real life.

in film, if i’m not mistaken the building is called the stelline lab, and it seems like it’s actually a roof extension off a main building, however i’m not too certain if it’s an actual build. most probably a set or a render made for the film. but it’s heavily influenced by le corbusier’s and a bit of the ennis house.

thank you for watching! i’m glad that you liked it. i’m sorry but unfortunately i don’t have the said publications. it’s just that i enjoy good films, and i appreciate architectures so much. but you can check out the links that i’ve put in the description that i’ve used to study and support my personal observations. btw good luck on your findings for your research!

there is already a farely good essay, not exclusively about tue topic but kind of, by jacob geller, its called the architecture of alienation

actually we are both inaccurate. i just fact-checked it in wikipedia, he's a swiss-french. He was born in Switzerland and became a French citizen in 1930. but thank you for letting me know! appreciate it.

@@circleology Yes, he was always a French wanna-be. He invented the name 'Le Corbusier' when he was 33 years old.

Thanks! Appreciate it!

The only reason why i decided to keep the definition is to help my native audience (I'm a SE Asian) to understand this a little bit better as i've had them in mind when i made this. now of course my thought process is a little bit different when i film my recent ones since I'm acquiring audiences with different backgrounds! Anyway, this is the only video that I decided to put definition in it. I think it depends on what sort of information I want to share and in this context, I tried to make the audiences that have got no idea about brutalist, architecture or film to understand what this is all about. Well, I was wrong about it and I've had no experience back then when I made this. For your information, I'm an electronic engineering graduate, so honestly for me it's really difficult to write when you don't have any literature background like myself - I didn't have the right idea and clear structure for when I wrote these but again I just love these type of videos because of my background as an electronic researcher. so I do like things that require some study and investigation. Honestly, I was so unsure and I contemplated a lot whether to upload this or not, but I ended up putting this up anyway with a mindset that I made this for myself, a kind of journal almost. and I just want to share it with everybody. In my opinion it's a research paper for people to read and to improve it from now on by filming their own content; and I think it's an easy one since there are so much room for improvement. The only way I can get better is as I keep filming more and more videos. I thank you for your support and I apologise if this video isn't any good.
