Abstract

Abstract:New Nollywood refers to a segment of Nigerian cinema that began in 2012. The industry is based in Lagos and focuses on Hollywood-style approaches to film and film music. Generally, very little has been written about technologies in the film music of Nigerian cinema. This article is the first to focus explicitly on the impact of modern music production technology in New Nollywood soundtracks. Adopting descriptive as well as survey and historical methods of research, this article reveals what the specific and available technologies for film music in New Nollywood were and currently are; how the practitioners have employed them; as well as how the effects of such technologies have shaped the industry’s cultural and economics choices. In addition to a review of the broad literature on cinema and film music, the methodology also relies on studio observation sessions with current industry practitioners as well as an analysis of the New Nollywood film The Bling Lagosians (2019). Taken together, findings reveal that the quality of New Nollywood film music is fluid and reflective of changes to the economic, cultural, and technological preferences of practitioners.

新诺莱坞配乐中的音乐制作技术:背景、应用和全球化的影响

摘要:新诺莱坞(New Nollywood)是指始于2012年的尼日利亚电影。该行业以拉各斯为基地，专注于好莱坞式的电影和电影音乐。一般来说，很少有人写过尼日利亚电影音乐中的技术。本文是第一篇明确关注现代音乐制作技术对新诺莱坞配乐的影响的文章。本文采用描述法、调查法和历史研究法，揭示了新诺莱坞电影音乐的具体技术和现有技术;从业人员如何使用他们;以及这些技术的影响如何塑造了该行业的文化和经济选择。除了对电影和电影音乐的广泛文献进行回顾外，该方法还依赖于与当前行业从业者的工作室观察会议，以及对新瑙莱坞电影《珠光宝光的拉各斯人》(2019)的分析。综上所述，研究结果表明，新诺莱坞电影音乐的质量是流动的，反映了从业者的经济、文化和技术偏好的变化。
