El empaste entre música e imagen en el cine: los paisajes sonoros como elementos estructurales y narrativos en Arde Mississippi (Parker, 1998)

Abstract

The concept of soundscape in the field of film music refers to the generation of sound structures that are strung together with the images, in such a way that they are repeated each time that this idea, sensation or characteristic (of a character or situation) is alluded. Mississippi Burning (Parker, 1988) responds to a structure based on these conceptions, in such a way that the main objective of this article is to analyze, under the premises of film soundscapes, the narrative and structural forms of this feature film, in order to show richer alternatives to those focused exclusively on the plot. The study concludes by pointing out the relevance of amalgamating the three typical structures of this film (black music, insect stridulations and percussion) to achieve the effect of global understanding of the film.
