내러티브의 시각적 표현형식과 의미작용 ― <그랜드부다페스트 호텔> 영화를 중심으로 ―

Abstract

Film expands the meaning of images through interdependent relations of elements such as color, camera movement, shape and position of objects, composition, illumination and angle. Such visual expression forms the emotional response and unique style that the audience feels, and thus creates excellent visual beauty and implicit meaning to be conveyed by the film. This study analyzes the structure and contents of narrative, and grasps cooperation and confrontational relationship among the central characters. Also, it analyzes the principle of expression form that works between features and elements such as composition, movement, color. The research of Signification uses the semiotic analysis of Charles Sanders Peirce.The flat composition expressed in The Grand Budapest Hotel creates in-depth meanings such as the socio-political ideology of the 1930s, the loneliness underlying the characters, the vertical-vertical relationships of the characters, and left-right horizontal relations in peers, brothers, and loving relationships. In addition, movement and color challenge the existing order and authority, and delightfully and amusingly portray protest against rigid politics and society. The visual expression form of narrative in The Grand Budapest Hotel forms the expression of symmetry, asymmetry, balance between formal and non-formal, and change of emphasis and contrast. This serves as an important clue to clearly communicate the content and theme of the movie and to provide meaning to the audience. It can include emotional values and social notions of visual beauty from descriptive functions that provide information and situations of time and space.
