영화 [킹스 스피치]의 1:1 대화 장면 쇼트/역쇼트 연구 - 인물과 인물 간의 거리, 인물과 프레임 간의 거리를 이용한 인물 관계와 주제 표현

Abstract

The ‘dominant schema’, called the shot/reverse-shot can function, is a style that achieves structural unity of an entire film by establishing the composition rules of expression elements suitable for the characters, relationships, narratives, and themes, and consistently ‘repeating’ and ‘changing’. The 1:1 conversation scenes in the movie The King’s Speech represent the result of a strategy to ‘correct’ the schematic of shot/reverse-shot without ‘imitation’. The 1:1 conversation scenes in the movie effectively visualize not only the basic functions of narrative development but also the characters, the characters' inner sides, the character relationships, and the themes. The style of directing the 1:1 conversation scenes in the movie The King’s Speech can be summarized into four types, as follows. Style 1: the shot/reverse-shot type using one shot and over-the-shoulder shots expresses the character relationship. Style 2: the character relationship is expressed through the distances between characters and changes in the distances between the characters. Style 3: the distance between the characters and the frames expresses the character relationship and the inner state of the character (psychological distance to other characters). Style 4: the dynamic movement of the camera expresses the 'psychological agitation' inside the character.
