스토리 창작 교육에 있어 캐릭터 구축을 위한 실습 프로그램 개발 연구

Abstract

In story creation, characters, along with plots, have traditionally been emphasized in their importance. Therefore, the theory of character setting is dealt with as a major part in most writing books. Even in story creation education, learning about the theory that composes a character along with the plot and its practice occupy an important portion. In order to develop the character build- ing ability required for story creation, it is necessary to first learn the main theories required for character setting and practice each theory. However, there are no studies or explanations on the in- terrelationships of the separate personality theories acquired in the individually conducted educa- tional process, and there are not many cases of integrating them into practice programs and applying them to the educational process. The theories required for character building can be largely divided into two categories. These are the theories about the type of character and the theory about the character's journey (arc). The main theories that explain the type of character include the Enneagram, MBTI, and TIPI. Regarding the character's inner journey, there is the Character Arc Theory, which explains the change of the character with positive arc, negative arc, and flat arc. However, these major theories have a problem in that they are individually applied in a state where the interrelationship is not clearly identified. Even in the case of ‘LIE’, the main concept of character arc, it is inevitably influenced by the type of character, but due to the absence of a con- cept that comprehensively explains it, creators are experiencing various confusions in the actual cre- ation process. Individually applied theories like this can hinder the unity in character composition of characters, which can act as an obstacle for each character to express their personality. Therefore, this study revealed the theories necessary for character construction and the interrelationships be- tween the theories, focusing on the value concept of the controlling idea, and applied it to practice in the form of a personality table to develop an integrated practice program for character con- struction and check its effectiveness
