Aims the study of physiognomy, the study of human physiognomy as knowledge index on the abstract and subjective features from the aspects of the head and face. Assuming that the physiognomy governs the natural sciences and also the culture and the means of representation, aims to investigate the expression of the human face in film study as a significant element and creation of meaning. Physiognomonic study sheds will be addressed as the analogy between the man's face and the face of the animal, the visual appearance of the face as an aesthetic and narrative element, the importance of the relationship inside-outside in the construction of action and ethnic physiognomy
