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.

Secret Sunshine/ Milyang (2007) “Are You Looking? Do You See?” Major
Secret Sunshine/ Milyang (2007) “Are you looking? Do you see?” Major Credits: Director: Chang-dong Lee Writer: Chang-dong Lee, from a novel by Chong-jung Yi Cinematography: Yong-kyo Cho Cast: Do-yeon Jeon (Shin-ae/ Mrs. Lee), Kang-ho Song (Jong Chan/ Mr. Kim) Production Context: Chang-dong Lee (b. 1954) was a successful novelist before turning to the cinema in 1992, when he became part of the Korean New Wave that includes Kim Ki-duk (Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter… and Spring), Bong Joon-ho (Memories of Murder), and Hong Sang-soo (Hill of Freedom). Lee was drawn to filmmaking following a political shift in Korea away from socialism around the time of the 1988 Seoul Olympics. For Lee, the cinema replaced literature as a means of conveying his social concerns, as becomes clear in his second feature, Peppermint Candy (1999). In contrast to the striking flashback narrative structure of that film and the socially marginalized protagonists of Oasis (2002), Secret Sunshine was designed with “normality” (Lee’s term) in mind. Both lead actors were well known to Korean audiences. Kang-ho Song’s role as Mr. Kim marks a departure from type, since he was best known for gangster and detective roles (most notably in Joon-ho Bong’s excellent Memories of Murder, 2003). Do-yeon Jeon, who won the acting prize at Cannes for her portrayal of Shin-ae, reportedly “hated” the director during their time together shooting the film. Cinematic Aspects: 1. Long Take: Lee deploys these unedited shots at key moments in the narrative (Interestingly, the director has testified that he had decided not to use long takes to preserve the film’s “normality”).

Locating a Transnational Film Between Korean Cinema and American Cinema: a Case Study of Snowpiercer (2014) Ye Dam Yi
Locating a Transnational Film between Korean Cinema and American Cinema: A Case Study of Snowpiercer (2014) Ye Dam Yi This article argues that Joon-ho Bong’s Snowpiercer (2013) is a transnational film. It identifies how categorizing it as either Korean cinema or American cinema falls short of accounting for its unprecedented mode of production, distribution, and storytelling. This is a case study that compensates for the existing literature on the movie that often omits its significance in Korean cinema, neglects the ongoing discourse on transnational cinema, and dismisses the filmic text as having nothing to do with the idea of the nation. This study situates Snowpiercer in the larger context of Korean cinema by identifying the heritage it belongs to, shows that the filmic text embodies the complex notion of nation in today’s world, and argues that cultural signs in the film indicate a transnational imaginary. The results contribute to identifying how national cinema is changing in relation to increasing transnational film productions and theorizing what the transnational may be for a useful framework. Keywords: transnational cinema, Snowpiercer, Korean cinema, Hollywood, Joon-ho Bong An American protagonist leads a revolt after seventeen years of being confined to ghettos in the tail section of a train that carries the humanity around the world after a human effort to fight back global warming results in a catastrophic ice age. A multi-ethnic group joins the revolt against the American conglomerate ruling the passengers in the train section who boarded without a ticket with militant rule. This sounds like a typical dystopian American movie, more so given that the cast is mostly composed of Hollywood actors such as Chris Evans, Tilda Swinton, and John Hurt.

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.

Kscc2018 Abstracts.Pdf
KSCC2018 Helsinki - presentation abstracts All abstracts in order of the schedule Panel 1: Global audiences "Tailor-made Fest for Presenting the Value of Korean Cinema in London: Korean Film Night between 2012 and 2014" Sungil Ko (University Of Nottingham) This paper will investigate how the Korean Film Night (KFN), regular film showcase event, organised by Korean Cultural Centre UK (KCCUK) is promote Korean culture in London through a case study of KFN’s ‘three-year project’ starting in 2012. Within the context of cultural diplomacy, government-backed cultural centres (e.g. British Council, Institut Français) to promote their cultural aspects in overseas territories. Such agencies have also held regular film screening events as the platform of cultural exchange which enable audiences in foreign nations to experience different culture in their daily life. The KCCUK, which had organised the regular film showcase event (formerly called KFN) since 2008, presented a series of new programmes –‘The Year of 12 Directors’, ‘The Year of 4 Actors’ and ‘The Year of 4 Film Professionals’ - from 2012. This ‘three-year project’ was a new extension that played a cultural diplomatic role to present the value of Korean cinema and film culture. In order to achieve it, the new project was dedicated to particular Korean movie figures whereas previous KFN had simply displayed various genres of Korean cinema. In addition, this ‘three-year project’ increased the number of screenings every week, implemented certain practices, venue hiring outside KCCUK, and Q&A and Masterclasses. Regarding such change of programming concept, this paper argues that KFN’s ‘three-year project’ aims at presenting the quality of the Korean film industry by focusing on the unique savoir-faire of some of unnoticed key figures (like filmmakers, actors, etc.) by the British audience, but whose individual contribution has been primordial in making some Korean film famous internationally.

101 Films for Filmmakers
101 (OR SO) FILMS FOR FILMMAKERS The purpose of this list is not to create an exhaustive list of every important film ever made or filmmaker who ever lived. That task would be impossible. The purpose is to create a succinct list of films and filmmakers that have had a major impact on filmmaking. A second purpose is to help contextualize films and filmmakers within the various film movements with which they are associated. The list is organized chronologically, with important film movements (e.g. Italian Neorealism, The French New Wave) inserted at the appropriate time. AFI (American Film Institute) Top 100 films are in blue (green if they were on the original 1998 list but were removed for the 10th anniversary list). Guidelines: 1. The majority of filmmakers will be represented by a single film (or two), often their first or first significant one. This does not mean that they made no other worthy films; rather the films listed tend to be monumental films that helped define a genre or period. For example, Arthur Penn made numerous notable films, but his 1967 Bonnie and Clyde ushered in the New Hollywood and changed filmmaking for the next two decades (or more). 2. Some filmmakers do have multiple films listed, but this tends to be reserved for filmmakers who are truly masters of the craft (e.g. Alfred Hitchcock, Stanley Kubrick) or filmmakers whose careers have had a long span (e.g. Luis Buñuel, 1928-1977). A few filmmakers who re-invented themselves later in their careers (e.g. David Cronenberg–his early body horror and later psychological dramas) will have multiple films listed, representing each period of their careers.
