THE USE OF SOUND FOR FORMATTING FILM TIME AND SPACE

Abstract

Film sound plays a significant role in creating the illusion of space-time continuum in movie scenes (chronotop) and in enhancing the synesthetic perception of the film as a whole. The article discusses various options for creating artistic space by using diegetic, non-diegetic and metadiegetic sound, the role of sound in the transition from one screen chronotope to another and the nature of the impact on the viewer of new technologies for recording and playing on-screen sound.
