The poeticity of image in the movie ‘Radiance’: the cinematographic language as potency of audiodescription

Abstract

This article has been inspired in the movie Radiance (Hicari;2017), from the director Naomi Kawase, because of the poetic approach present in the movie’s language. In the light of authors of philosophy and movies, this article offers a reflexion about the concept of audiodescription inside cinema and its capacity of developing new repertoires of image from a audiodescription that contemplates cinematography language. To watch a movie is to use the image that, connected with others elements such as language of camera, sound, scenographic, spatial and temporal, creates in each spector a abundance of senses. These combined elements are the form of symbolic representation of the art of cinema and, by being described in words, generates new symbolic relations that are fundamental for the enjoyment of cinematographic arts. This writing does not speaks about the concept and the forms of audiodescription that the character of the movie Radiance, the audiodescriptor Misako, uses in her work; neither is it about the audiodescription made for the movie in Brasil. It is about though a audiodescription that takes in consideration the poetry of images in the moment of their descriptions.­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­
