First-person narrative film

Japanese: 一人称映画 - いちにんしょうえいが（英語表記）first‐person narrative film

A first-person subjective film in which the viewer, that is, the eye of the camera, becomes the "I." SM Eisenstein defined this technique as "an attempt to symbolically express the subconscious and show on the screen the inner world of fantastical dream associations," and "to combine the 'eye' of the lens with the eye of the spectator, placing the spectator in the seat of the film's protagonist through the name of the characters in the film's story." He analyzed that the "foundation of its visual syntax" was found in the psychoanalytic films of the German Expressionists, such as GW Papst's Wonders of the Mind (1926).

Japanese:

見る者，すなわちカメラの目がそのまま〈私〉になる一人称的主観描写映画。S.M.エイゼンシテインはこの手法を〈潜在意識を象徴的に表現し，幻想的な夢の連想の内面世界をスクリーンに示す試み〉であり，〈レンズの“目”を観客の目に結合し，映画の物語の人物の名で映画の主人公の席に観客をおく試み〉と定義して，その〈視覚的シンタックス(文章構成法)の基礎〉は，G.W.パプスト監督《心の不思議》(1926)などのドイツ表現派の心理分析的映画にあったと分析している。
