Abstract

Today, the TV and film industry have a significant impact on tourism. Popular TV series and movies increase tourist interest by promoting the regions where they are filmed and thus provide significant economic benefits to the destinations. With the development of media and digital platforms, millions of viewers around the world have the opportunity to explore different cities and countries through series and films. The main purpose of this study is to conduct an analytical analysis with videographic analysis of 12 films related to tourism and travel themes. Videography, which is included in qualitative research methods, is a rarely used research approach in tourism research. In the study, the role of films in the image of a tourism destination, information about the epistemology, ontology and axiology of videographic research was presented, and then a videographic analysis of films was performed. Two criterias were used as timeliness and technicality of the 12 films considered. In terms of topicality, the main topics for films are focused on the consumption of spaces, experimental activities, authentic city, the meanings of objects. The highest intensity was in the consumption of spaces, and the least intensity was in the meanings of objects. Technical issues for films in terms of technique are in the form of voice acting, background music, excerpts from literary texts and transition/special effects. As the reason for the intensity of voice acting, transition/special effects, it can be said that it is related to technology that the film industry is developing.

Özet

Günümüzde televizyon ve film endüstrisi turizm üzerinde önemli bir etkiye sahiptir. Popüler dizi ve filmler, çekildikleri bölgeleri tanıtarak turist ilgisini artırmakta ve böylece destinasyonlara önemli ekonomik faydalar sağlamaktadır. Medya ve dijital platformların gelişmesiyle birlikte, dünya çapında milyonlarca izleyici, dizi ve filmler aracılığıyla farklı şehirleri ve ülkeleri keşfetme fırsatı bulmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın temel amacı, turizm ve seyahat temalarıyla ilgili 12 filmin videografik analizini de içeren analitik bir analiz yürütmektir.Nitel araştırma yöntemleri içerisinde yer alan videografi, turizm araştırmalarında nadiren kullanılan bir araştırma yaklaşımıdır. Çalışmada, bir turizm destinasyonunun imajında ​​filmlerin rolü, videografik araştırmanın epistemolojisi, ontolojisi ve aksiyolojisi hakkında bilgi sunulmuş, ardından filmlerin videografik analizi gerçekleştirilmiştir. İncelenen 12 filmin güncelliği ve teknikliği olmak üzere iki ölçüt kullanılmıştır. Güncellik açısından, filmler için ana konular mekan tüketimi, deneysel etkinlikler, otantik şehir, nesnelerin anlamları üzerine odaklanmıştır. En yüksek yoğunluk mekan tüketiminde, en düşük yoğunluk ise nesnelerin anlamlarında olmuştur. Filmler için teknik açıdan teknik sorunlar seslendirme, arka plan müziği, edebi metinlerden alıntılar ve geçiş/özel efektler şeklindedir. Seslendirme, geçiş/özel efektlere olan bu yoğunluğun nedeni olarak, film endüstrisinin geliştirmekte olduğu teknoloji ile ilişkili olduğu söylenebilir.
