영상음향의 유형들에 대한 재고: 영상작품에서의 “비화면 영역 사운드”에 관한 재고와 “합성 사운드 레이어”에 관한 연구

Abstract

The acousmatic sound in works for film and video is flexible in its character which is different from those of in and off-sound. Such acousmatic sound can turn into a in-memory-sound when remembered as past in the time given within the storytelling of the visual work, and becomes a off-memory-sound when an unexpected new sound is heard. The in-memory-sound becomes in-sound in a broader term, whereas off-memory-sound can be a broader defintion of off-sound. However, the act of distinguishing sound within the screen area should be perceived by the time and space in the particular visual scene and also understood within the storytelling, rather than classifying by the physical properties of the screen area. Sound can also be categorized by voice, sound effects and music according to its role and character in the visual and when the above three sounds integrate systematically to create a whole new sound layer which affects the scenes, such sound is termed as integrated sound layers. Integrated sound layers perform as a sound effect quite different from how voice, sound effect and music individually acts upon the visual, and also has the characteristics that transcend the categorization of types of sound effect according to the inside or the outside of the screen area. With more frequent appearances of scenes showing the characteristics of integrated sound layers in works for film and video, it is considered an interesting are to research on.
