A Fundamental Study on a Structural Analysis Method of “Point of View Shot Style” Audio Drama applied the Theory of Cinema Audio

－Through a Case Study of Romantic Audio Drama for Female－

Abstract

No research has been conducted on the sound design of audio dramas composed only of sound. In this research, we used the method of video music/ acoustic research field traditionally done by Chion et al. I named audio dramas such as “for me” as “point of view shot type” audio drama. Based on the dichotomy which is the basis of the narrative function of movie music, Neumeyer advocated “5 binaries”. To my past research, timeline analysis was carried out by adding “Foreground/Background” from Neumeyer's 5 binaries. In this process, it was found that a lot of sounds equivalent to the middle of the voice and the sound effect were given in comparison with the movies. Especially, “Mouth Noise” proposed in this research turned out to be an important directing method.
