Abstract

The purpose of this study is to reassert the important role of sound design in creating narrative space in films. The main focus is on re-interpreting Chion's sound space composition as a narrative structure. The sound design process has been analyzed to find that the physical properties of sound are purposely manipulated to create the layers of sound to be perceived by the audience in the same way as human perception and cognition of the actual reality work, eventually to create the cinematic reality. The hierarchy of the layers is determined by the importance of the narrative information contained in each sound, with the higher layers being appropriate to convey the information of the narrative, and the lower layers being efficient to deliver the emotion to the audience. With this idea, each of the Chion's space composition is explained as a distinctive area in telling a story with the separate narrative role from the others.

본 연구는 사운드공간영역이 갖는 내러티브 전달 기능에 대해 논의한다. 논의의 중요한 관점이 되는 사운드의 물리적 속성은, 일반적으로 잘 알려진 공간성 표현의 역할 뿐 아니라, 사운드가 내러티브의 전달을 통해 예술성을 갖는데도 그 역할을 한다. 사실적 현실을 인간이 인식하는 현실로 재구현한 영화적 현실에서 사운드는, 정보적 의미정도에 따라 인식의 층위를 갖도록 디자인 되고, 이는 사운드의 물리적 속성조절을 통해 인위적으로 형성된다. 인식의 상층위에 오는 사운드는 정보 전달의 역할을 담당하기 적합하고 하층위에 오는 사운드는 감정 전달 역할을 담당한다. 이를 통해 온스크린, 오프스크린, 앰비언트, 인터널, 온-디-에어, 넌다이제틱 각 영역이 독립적인 특성을 가지며 독자적인 내러티브 전달 역할을 가짐을 설명할 수 있다. 이로써 영화 사운드를 통해 형성되는 각각의 내러티브 공간이 갖는 미학적 효용성에 대한 구체적인 설명의 시도가 가능하다.
