El papel del sonido ha sido, hasta ahora, absolutamente infravalorado en toda la bibliografía sobre el lenguaje audiovisual. Esta obra resitúa al audio frente a la imagen, analizando con un rigor poco habitual su papel expresivo y narrativo. En el libro, se revisa el concepto de lenguaje audiovisual y sus metodos de estudio a partir de las ultimas aportaciones hechas por la psicoacustica y por la psicologia de la percepcion. Desde esa perspectiva, el autor propone nuevos planteamientos sobre el rol del audio dentro del sistema sonido-imagen, que resultan especialmente fertiles tanto desde una perspectiva analitica como desde la perspectiva productiva y profesional. A lo largo de la obra se desarrolla un estudio muy didactico sobre el uso de los metodos de analisis acustico y sus diversas posibilidades de aplicacion, y se propone, tambien, una terminologia sistematica para nombrar y describir con eficacia los sonidos. Finalmente, el estudio desemboca en la aplicacion de todos estos instrumentos de trabajo sobre cuestiones tan concretas como la creacion de espacios audiovisuales, los usos expresivos y narrativos de la sincronia sonido-imagen o la organizacion de secuencias de imagenes mediante el sonido.
The first unauthorized look at the inner workingsand ultimate breakdownof the Disney Channel machineFor many kids growing up in the 2000s, there was no cultural touchstone more powerful than Disney Channel, the most-watched cable channel in primetime at its peak. Today, it might best be known for introducing the world to talents like Hilary Duff, Raven-Symone, Zac Efron, Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez, the Jonas Brothers, Demi Lovato, and Zendaya.It wasn't always destined for greatness: when The Disney Channel launched in 1983, it was a forgotten stepchild within the Walt Disney Company, forever in the shadow of Disneys more profitable movies and theme parks. But after letting the stars of their Mickey Mouse Club revivalamong them Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, Christina Aguilera, and Ryan Goslingslip through their fingers, Disney Channel reinvented itself as a powerhouse tween network.
