| Summary |
"In Audio-vision, the French composer-filmmaker-critic Michel Chion presents a reassessment of the audiovisual media since sound's revolutionary debut in 1927 and sheds light on the mutual influences of sound and image in audiovisual perception. Chion expands on the arguments from his influential trilogy on sound in cinema - La voix au cinéma, Le son au cinéma, and La toile trouée - while providing an overview of the functions and aesthetics of sound in film and television. He considers the effects of evolving audiovisual technologies such as widescreen, multi-track sound, and Dolby stereo on audio-vision, influences of sound on the perception of space and time, and contemporary form of audio-vision embodied in music videos, video art, and commercial television. His final chapter presents a model for audiovisual analysis of film." --book cover |
