ON CINEMA & VIDEO Music must not merely be a decoration. I speak from a dramatic point of view, proposing an entirely different phenomenon called "audiovision" in which the universe of sound produces a dramatic sense all of its own. Music written along with the text can irrigate it to the extent that the whole becomes a unified dramatic text.

"...we hear some wet footsteps, the take must be exterior, they have a certain reverberation, it must be an open place, it must be at night... then a distant shout, somebody is being attacked in the dark... the shout again but this time longer. At the time it develops, the sound loses reverberation and gains volume to end up being overwhelmed by a round of applause since in reality it's just the first syllable of a song that someone begins singing in a pub..."

(where has the camera been all that time? All that information came only from the sound.)

I've learnt to identify and extract dramatic functions from the text (not roles but functions) by following the theoretical works of Levi-Strauss/Propp applied to a dramaturgy.
You can see a sample of this dramaturgical approach here at the "Paradise City" project.
