    A Metamodal Analysis of the Stop-Motion Animated Film ‘Isle of Dogs’ (2018)
    (UNIVERSITE MOULOUD MAMMERI TIZI-OUZOU, 2020) MAMERI, MAYA
    The present study is concerned with the multimodal analysis of the American stop-motion animated film ‘Isle of Dogs’ (2018). It identifies the modes such as such as speech, music and filming; it also figures out how these modes interact with each other in order to create the whole meaning of the scenes. In addition, it aims at analysing the integration of audio-visual translation in the script of the film and determines the purpose behind it. The study relies on the metamodal approach to the kineikonic mode developed by Burns and Parker (2003) as a theoretical framework. It also refers to film theory, cinematography and audio-visual translation. To analyse and interpret the collected data the qualitative research method is adopted. The analysis of the selected scene revealed that the filmmaker uses speech, set design and lighting, dramatic actions and music modes (contributory modes); whereas the filming and editing (orchestrating modes) organise these modes in a way to create a complementary relationship. It has also shown that subtitling and voice-over translation have been used in order to break the language barrier in the film.
