Film Discourse Interpretation, Talk in Hongkong, 7 October 2013
Jul 04, 2015
How do we understand films? How do we construct meanings out of the interplay of the various modalities in filmic text?
These questions are still up to date in contemporary film theory and multimodal discourse analysis. The talk wants to give a general overview of how these questions are focused and answered with the help of advancements in text linguistics and discourse semantics. It will show general parallels between verbal and filmic discourse and introduce recently developed tools for filmic discourse interpretation. With the help of some filmic examples, it will furthermore give illustrations of concrete film analysis at work.

Filmic Meaning Construction
Understanding is mediated by transformative acts both bottom-up ndash mandatory automatic psychological processes -and top-down ndash conceptual strategic ones The sensory data of the film at hand furnish the materials out of which inferential processes of perception and cognition build meanings Meaning are not found but made [hellip]
Comprehension and interpretation thus involve the construction of meaning out of textual cues In this respect meaning-making is a psychological and social activity fundamentally akin to other cognitive processesrdquo
