ABSTRACT

Director Chan-wook Park revenge series film started with , and was produced. These films were produced by interpreting the common subject of revenge in the style of director Chan-wook Park. Each revenge series film is pan out in different perspectives and ways, and the film music also shows different characteristics from series to series. The purpose of this study is to analyze how the composition of movie music and the use of classic music interact with images and sounds according to movie narratives. As an analysis method for this, we analyzed the image and character of the movie, and analyzed the elements of the movie music used. As a result, the film played an indirect dialogue delivery role as an implicit music. Also, when the trot was used in movie music, the realistic expression of the situation and the delivery of the character's dialogue was clearly revealed. The film played a role in conveying emotions that are not conveyed through images by connecting the distinct role of the character and leitmotiv.
