Abstract
This study is an attempt to use the concept of the spatial dimension in the cinematic image in order to form the perceptions and emotions of the viewer. The study indicates that the emergence of anchor points from the real world in the cinematic frame leads to the formation of perception among the viewer, and there are different emotions related to the public spatial dimensions versus the private spatial dimensions, where different settings and angles are used to form the visual composition of the surrounding environment to evoke emotions.

The research problem is how to demonstrate is the impact of using the concept of spatial dimension on the formation of perceptions and emotions of the viewer in the cinematic image?

The study relied on the experimental and analytical approach to study the extent of the emotional impact of the spatial dimension in the cinematography, and accordingly important results were found indicating the possibility of using the concepts of the spatio-temporal dimension in order to evoke viewer emotions, as well as the importance of the so-called spatio-cultural dimension for understanding identities, cultures, and social aspects, it was pointed out that the spatial dimension in the cinematic image is an underappreciated concept despite its ability, so it was important to study the extent of this effect in an applied approach, and refer to the theoretical foundations based on that, this study also aims to highlight the ways to create public, private, and cultural spatial dimensions in the field of the cinematic image.
