신카이 마코토 애니메이션의 보이스 오버 내레이션 연구

Abstract

This paper attempted to understand how the format and characteristics of Makoto Shinkai's unique voice over narration is connected to the message of his animation films. The formal characteristics of the narration in Makoto Shinkai's work are multiple statements and multiple points of view. By taking multiple forms, the narrator does not assume the only authoritative statement, but provides the audience with a multifaceted perspectives. The diversification of points of view symbolically expresses ‘connecting’, one of the messages, by harmonizing or merging without moving toward division or conflict. What makes up the characteristics of the narration phrase lies in literary description techniques including synesthesia and personification. By choosing a description that focuses on the emotions felt by the subject of the narration rather than an objective and realistic statement, the emotional approach that can summon the audience's experiences or memories is taken. This has the effect of highlighting another message, sensibility, and provides an opportunity to re-recognize daily life and the present.
