영화 서사 내러티브와 OST 내러티브의 상관성 연구-영화'가을우체국' 메인 타이틀곡을 중심으로-

Abstract

Lately Korean cinema became a big part of Korean Wave, and has been widely accepted with acclaims in Asia, Europe and America. What attracts the audience in cinema is not just story but also the beauty of the actors, the unique culture of the locations, and above all the movie music. The successful narrative in cinema is established not only by picture but also by the acting, the cinematic location, and the music. Music in particular plays a major role in the communication by its immense power to stimulate the audience’s psychology emotionally. Every art including cinema has its own story narrative which aims at delivering the artist’s message to the audience. As story establishes narrative in cinema, its OST also creates its own narrative. This study enlightens the interrelationship between story narrative and OST narrative. The melodramatic movie <Autumn Sonata> has become the case study for the thesis of this study. The interviews with its filmmakers as well as the research in story narrative and OST narrative has been carried out. There have been many theoretical studies on the function of music in cinema. Unlike them, my study in this paper is based on practical experience of the filmmakers. The composers of OST have their own voices in their creation as the directors have their own thoughts in their story. What’s important here is both the narrative of OST and the narrative of story must serve harmoniously in order to make clear the vision of the movie. In other words the visual image and the music in cinema are not two in-dependent components, but are the unified whole. Directors must not solely rely on visual storytelling. They must make use of the aural storytelling as well in order to reach a successful communication with the audience.
