한형모 감독 스타일 연구 ― 1950년대 영화를 중심으로 ―

Abstract

Han Hyung-mo was a top box office director in the 1950s and a pio- neer in Korean film technology, who was adept at every process of film- making, from filming, directing and editing. This study looked at five films directed by Han Hyung-mo in the 1950s through style analysis on how classic Hollywood styles at that time were reproduced in Korean pop- ular movie or genre films. Han Hyung-mo is a director who best reflected Hollywood styles and entered university in Korean films of the 1950s, compared to other Korean films of his time. Han Hyung-mo’s works showed a relatively high stand- ard of narrative form and style. Given that the Korean films of the 1950s consisted of narrative form and style centered on storytelling, the percep- tion of style can only be seen as being driven by the director’s own consciousness. Therefore, Han Hyung-mo's style research could contribute to later research on Korean film styles. It will also give you a glimpse of how Korean popular movie, or genre, styles were being reproduced in the film at that time.
