Hey everyone,
Yes, it is an interesting thing to research. Im very familiar with the method, the pros and cons etc..
In my thesis im not trying to prove that its “right or wrong” to use ADR because its part of the movie making “toolkit” and it is there to be used. There are many films that the emotion is carried out by other elements, and/or films that there is no other option but to ADR (action films/other world…)
But looking away from the technical aspects of ADR, and into the philosophical nature, where we from learned experience relate certain emotions to facial and bodily expressions, and when one aspect is altered(using ADR) isnt there a chance the audience subconsciously feel that something isnt quite right?
