Abstract

The postmodernism cultural trend of thought has a profound impact on the global animation industry. In this context, Chinese cartoons and animated films have been constantly changing to adapt to the market aesthetic needs. This research focuses on the audio design in Light Chaser films, especially the use of music audio effects and dialogues. By analyzing early and later works of Light Chaser, this paper probes into the changes of audio design concepts and techniques. Results show that musical sound effects play a critical role in creating atmosphere and promoting plot development, while dialogues can effectively shape characters and convey emotions. By comparing the previous and later works, this paper reveals the innovation and adjustment of Light Chaser in adapting to the postmodern aesthetic trend, and provides theoretical and practical reference for the audio design of animated films.
