Abstract

In the ninth chapter I study the advent of digital sync sound and the resultant (re-)emergence of spatial awareness in Indian cinema’s ‘digital era’. Since the late 1990s, a large-scale conversion from analogue recording and production practices to digital technologies has been taking place in Indian cinema. Digital technology has been integrated into the production and post-production stages of filmmaking, as well as to reproduction and projection formats. This chapter carefully studies how the processes of digitalization have made a substantial impact on the narrative strategies and aesthetic choices of extant cinematic sound production, informing the creation of spatial presence in film space via novel modes of interplay between quasi-diegesis and mimesis.
