Research On Soundscape Design Of Science Fiction Movies

As one of the popular film genres,science fiction movies have been constantly developing since the birth of movies.Since the new century,science fiction movies have rapidly changed with technology,causing people to think deeply with gorgeous special effects and advanced consciousness.At present,most of the research on science fiction films is based on the level of film images,while the sound research of science fiction films has been discussed by few scholars.This article quotes Murray Schaefer’s concept of"soundscape",based on Cook’s "ternary classification",Michelle Hion’s "value-added" and Mark Kellings’ "multi-channel analysis method",analyzes and studies the science fiction films that have won the Oscar for Best Sound since the new century,explores the sound design laws and internal mechanisms of science fiction films,and provides reference experience for China’s science fiction film creation.This paper is divided into five chapters:first,the introduction,the research status of soundscape,the research of soundscape design in science fiction films,and the research content,ideas and methods.The first chapter is a theoretical exposition of the whole article,explaining in detail the concept of soundscape design of science fiction films and the research framework of soundscape design of science fiction films,and exploring the research structure relationship of soundscape design of science fiction films by combing the structural relationship of previous soundscape design research and laying the research foundation for the following chapters.Chapters 2 through 4 are a discussion of the relevance of this article’s"soundscape" perspective to science fiction films.The second chapter is the role of soundscape design on the image space of science fiction films,that is,through the study and analysis of the process of participating in the construction of image space by in-picture/out-of-picture,non-narrative,ambient sound,listening point and other sound design methods,and the science fiction film that won the Oscar for Best Sound Effect as the research object,summarizes the internal mechanism and design experience of sound scape design on image space construction.The third chapter is the role of soundscape design on the narrative space of science fiction films,that is,soundscapes can deepen the narrative section to give spatial stability,affect the audience’s perception of the film narrative,and complete the narrative telling by placing the audience in the narrative space through the portrayal of narrative details.Chapter 4 is the role of soundscape design on the spiritual space of science fiction movies,this chapter mainly explores the portrayal of the spiritual world of characters by soundscapes,analyzes the methods and means of soundscapes to show the inner world of characters,enables the audience to better feel the characters,and completes the expression of"common feelings" in the movie.Finally,Chapter 5 concludes this paper,including summarizing the experience and enlightenment of soundscape design for science fiction films,and further integrating and refining the internal mechanism of soundscape design in science fiction films.The research methods used in this paper are:case analysis method,text reading method,comparative research method,and empirical research method.
