  • To Film Sound Maps: the Evolution of Live Tone’S Creative Alliance with Bong Joon-Ho
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Repository@Nottingham From ‘Screenwriting for Sound’ to Film Sound Maps: The Evolution of Live Tone’s Creative Alliance with Bong Joon-ho Nikki J. Y. Lee and Julian Stringer Abstract: In his article ‘Screenwriting for Sound’, Randy Thom makes a persuasive case that sound designers should be involved in film production ‘as early as the screenplay…early participation of sound can make a big difference’. Drawing on a critically neglected yet internationally significant example of a creative alliance between a director and post- production team, this article demonstrates that early participation happens in innovative ways in today’s globally competitive South Korean film industry. This key argument is presented through close analysis of the ongoing collaboration between Live Tone - the leading audio postproduction studio in South Korea – and internationally acclaimed director Bong Joon-ho, who has worked with the company on all six of his feature films to date. Their creative alliance has recently ventured into new and ambitious territory as audio studio and director have risen to the challenge of designing the sound for the two biggest films in Korean movie history, Snowpiercer and Okja. Both of these large-scale multi-language movies were planned at the screenplay stage via coordinated use of Live Tone’s singular development of ‘film sound maps’. It is this close and efficient interaction between audio company and client that has helped Bong and Live Tone bring to maturity their plans for the two films’ highly challenging soundscapes.

Abstract The focus of this dissertation is to show how the media of contemporary Korean popular culture, specifically films, are transformed into “hybrid cultural forms” through the practice of genre transformation. Since the early 21st century, South Korean popular culture has been increasingly spreading across the globe. Despite its growing attention and popularity, Korean pop culture has been criticized for its explicit copying of Western culture with no unique cultural identity. Others view the success of Korean media, both its creative mimicry and its critique of the West, as a new hybrid form that offers the opportunity for reassertion of local identity as well as challenging the global hegemony of the West.

  • Course TITLE: Korean Cinema in Dialogue with World Cinema
    Course TITLE: Korean Cinema in Dialogue with World Cinema. Instructor: Thomas Humpal Title/Position : Professor Institution : Dongseo University Course Overview: While Korea has a history of being the hermit kingdom, the films of Korea stand as a lasting dialogue Korea has been having with foreign cinemas since its’ inception under Japanese occupation. This course will look at the history of film in Korea and the ways in which modern Korean cinema has influenced and been influenced by various cinematic movements from around the world. **This course will feature interviews and discussions with industry professionals teaching at the Im Kwon-Taek College of Media Arts. Full Description: Recognizing that while national cinema histories are oftentimes self-reflecting in terms of culture, their places within the zeitgeist of art and film rely on outside influences and exchanges of techniques, structures, mise-en-scene, and approaches to the medium itself. At the end of the course, students will have a solid historical understanding of film and the ways in which international narrative and stylistic methods have been adopted and/or altered by Korean filmmakers. Class 1: Kino Dramas and the Pre-War Japanese Occupation. Description: Out of occupation and oppression, early Korean film blossomed and bloomed in a culture thirsting for their independence. Korean film making industry dates to 1919 during the Japanese occupation. And despite colonial restrictions placed on Korean made films, by 1935 many films reflected images and ideas of national liberation and strong connections to a shared Korean identity. Despite the best efforts of the Japanese occupation to erase what it means to be Korean, filmmaking endured as a liberating force.

    After Corona: Rediscovering a Love for the Planet through Climate Fiction and Film English/Environmental Studies/Visual Studies Haverford College Rebecca Chen Bachelor of Arts Candidate | English Haverford College Class of 2022 [email protected] 917-929-3275 The Homosapien Emerges from Involuntary Hibernation By Rebecca Chen It’s the last day of quarantine for the people of NYC; people slowly emerge from their homes, quiet and wide eyed. A college-aged woman takes a hesitant step out of her apartment. She squints as the glare of the sun beats down on her pale bluish face. Pools of people are spilling out from the bellies of these buildings like a stream of molasses. Bellies hang slightly over sweatpants, hair is tousled and slightly tangled, and backs bend permanently forward from all the hours of watching Netflix. NYC has changed. Dandelions the size of heads have busted through gashes in the concrete. Birds build nests in construction cranes. Tree branches have fallen, splintering the windows of the parked cars lining Central Park. Foxes and squirrels run through the street, paying no mind to the gawking humans at a standstill. The woman spots a long-lost best friend across the street. She raises her hand and opens her mouth to yell, but her voice catches in her throat. All of a sudden, she is overcome with nervousness. Her hot breath feels suffocating beneath her mask. The number of people are overwhelming. Jolie takes a hesitant step into the street, looking both ways, but not a single car is on the road. She sprints across it just to feel her aching muscles moving.
