Voice without Image, and Accousmetre: Focusing on Voice of a Murderer and Voice

Even though film was born without sound, sound has been in company with film exhibition. Because live music has been played, or explicateurs have stated stories even during the silent film era. In addition, voices of silent film have been in company with characters. Audiences have seen the voices by lips-movement of characters before insert titles. Audiences could paradoxically hear with their eyes, even if they could not hear with their ears. Nevertheless, film history so far has mainly focused on image, visuality and spectacles. In comparison, it is hardly to be said that the sound study in film has been actively proceeded. I will firstly scrutinize the sound theory of Michel Chion, who is one of the first theorist studying sound's characteristics over image in film, to analyze and discuss characters' voices without a perfect image-entity on the screen. Therefore I use Chion's original terms such as to read the implied meanings of Voice of a Murderer(2006) and Voice(2005), in which voices as characters in films drive narratives.
