Description
Audio-Vision Sound on Screen by Michel Chion and Walter Murch explores the relationship between sound and image in film. This updated edition considers recent world cinema, examining how multitrack digital sound extends the space of action and changes scene construction practices. Sound is central to film and television, and this book demonstrates why "audio-logo-visual" is a more accurate term than "audiovisual." The authors argue that sound film produces a new form of perception, engaging both seeing and hearing in a trans-sensory whole. This edition includes a glossary of terms, a chronology of significant films, and the original foreword by sound designer Walter Murch. With its expanded coverage of various media environments, including music videos, video art, and commercial television, Audio-Vision Sound on Screen provides insight into the evolving role of audio-visual perception in contemporary media.
