Theory and Practice - Screen space

Task
Off Screen Space:  Find some examples of off screen space found in film, animation and computer software programs/ interfaces.

Kiyoshi Kurosawa's Retribution-2006
Windows or open doors—between on-screen space and off-screen space are an important motif in Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s films.





Tango (1981) - Director: Zbigniew Rybczynski
Rybczynski makes critical use of off-screen space, exposing it for the artifice it is. Off-screen space is the imaginary area beyond the edge of the screen, and in front of or behind the camera. There are a number of ways through to off-screen space in Tango – a window and a door in the back wall, doors on either side of the room, and cupboard which also has its uses.




Off screen tabs
Like when you open Safari and see "Top Sites," Chrome would be able to load pages inside of pages with an experimental "off screen tabs" feature.
