Summary
This paper examines the background, development and production of the film ‘Songs of the immigrant bride’ and explains the general decisions made throughout the creation of the film. It proposes the idea that visuals, combined in an abstract narrative with music/sound, can create a language outside that generally accepted in real-time film (generally) and animation (specifically) to create a communicating ‘mythopoetic’ film-style from combined, selected elements, of both genres. Some of the issues presented and examined are: how relevant background experiences and influences directed the image-making in the production of the film; the experimental use of symbols and metaphor for an ‘evocative’ narrative in both visuals and sound, and the use of these within the film; the relevance of the theme of journey to viewers of the film; the part played by ‘Chance’ as an accepted phenomenon in shaping the direction of the film; production considerations, other than those of image and sound, to enhance audience perception and understanding of the film; ‘understanding’, as a physical as well as an intellectual phenomenon Master of Arts (Hons)
