웹툰만의 셔레이드 기법의 특징적 요소 분석

Abstract

This study began for the purpose of investigating functional aspects of charade found in webtoons and finding unique charade techniques in webtoons. ‘Great Catsby’ by Kang Do-ha, ‘The Thousand and One Nights’ by Yang Yeong-soon, and ‘Romance Comics’ by Kang Pool were selected as the study objects to analyze how the existing charade was applied in those webtoons, contemplating the techniques of charade only found in webtoons. The characteristic elements of webtoon's charade are divided into visual and auditory elements. Colors, space morphing, margin, gaps between panels, scroll, comic signs, changes of picture style, artificial omission, and emphasis were used as the visual elements; actual auditory elements and the elements utilizing visualization of auditive elements were used in auditory elements. Although the conceptual separation on what standard these charade elements only found in webtoons should be divided is not yet completely done, understanding those functional features is thought to be valuable in securing diversity when producing webtoons.
