'Audio-Vision' by Michel Chion, investigates the way audio is perceived alongside moving images, with regards to 'Silent' films all the way up to the modern 'Hollywood Blockbusters' of today. He utilises various theories which detail the way the human mind alters between different mindsets, altering the perception of sounds depending on the factors of analysis.
The most important of which is his devised theory of the 'Three Listening Modes' which he describes throughout the literature.
- Causal Listening
- Semantic Listening
- Reduced Listening
He also discusses the effects of sound on the perception of movement and speed, visual cues and spotting techniques, the influence of sound on the perception of time and sound 'temporalisation'.
These are some of the most important topics discussed within the literature relating to the honours project aim.
