Abstract :Research on space design interacts with and is influenced by different disciplines. Cinema is one of these fields. The literature has several studies on cinema and space, but there are few on animation and human size. Due to the use of two distinct human scales and the association of houses with these two human scales, the study differs from similar research. This study aims to reveal the impact of the human scale on the production of the spatial configuration by using the experimental aspect of the cinema. The objective is to evaluate data that effectively informs the audience about scale differences. In this study, the qualitative research method was used through descriptive analysis. The study was conducted by coding, analyzing and following the findings through scenes in the example of the movie \"The Secret World of Arrietty\". As a result of coding; five main themes were obtained. The themes with the highest frequency value were human scale and space. It is concluded that the use of the combination of codes in cinema and perception changes with the change in human size allows audiences to transfer the meaning.
