영화음악의 내러티브 역할 분석 - <스캔들 - 조선남녀상열지사>를 중심으로 -

Abstract

This thesis is a study from the perspective of music for a film which went through an adaptation process. Films adapted from original novels expose creators’ intentions through various installations in the films during the process of adaptation and they are reborn as completely new works which embrace the directors’ philosophies. In this sense, beyond simple one-dimensional visualization of novels, adaptation produces creations with infinite possibilities of reinterpretations. ‘Untold Scandal’ is a Korean film which brought the French novel ‘Les Liaisons Dangereuses’ onto the stage of the Chosun dynasty. In this film, music does not take a periphery role in the film but plays an important role of connecting the fragmented mi-en-scene with the symbols constituting them and invigorates them. Especially, music plays the core role in creating a unique and original method of directing the adapted work while maintaining distance from the original novel. As the result of analysis, ‘Untold Scandal’ plays 18 pieces in Western musical instrumentation among 24 original sound tracks, which are played in Baroque style, as by the director’s intention, to maintain the color of the original work, in an auditory fashion, in the process of reinterpretation. Through film music, the audience can appreciate the film which has the setting of the Chosun dynasty and at the same time, absorb the narrative of the Western original narrative source. This is the charm of the reinterpretation process called adaptation, and music plays a vital role in this process.
