A Study of Correlation between Transitions and Sound Effects in a Fairy Tale Movie

摘要

In this study, it was tested that types of transitional motion patterns and transitional semantics were strongly correlated and that types of transitional patterns and sound effects were also related. The goal of this research was to approach this topic theoretically, based on the assumption that each transitional motion pattern tends to have its own semantic content and also that the transitional motion pattern and some sound effects were correlated.rnIn order to test our hypotheses, a fairy tale, "Momotaro", or Peach Boy, was employed, the story line of which is familiar to all Japanese. The story was segmented by scenes, according to meaningful story chunks. Each scene chunk was linked to one another with one of the transitions, which were classified into four patterns.rnIt was tested in experiments that there was any theoretical foundation between the transitional motion patterns and the semantics of conjunctions.
