관객의 시각적 ‘몰입’을 위한 특수상영관의 현황과 전망 －스크린X를 중심으로－

Abstract

Currently, multiplex theaters in Korea are entering a low growth phase. This study confirms that multiplex chains are expanding special high-value-added theaters such as 3D, 4D, IMAX to overcome such limitations. As part of such a trend, we are witnessing the recent expansion of screen X screening facilities and confirming that the production of screen X screening films has been actively being attempted at home and abroad. This special auditorium assists the viewer ‘s "immersion" through visual pleasure and assists the film narrative. While this special screening technique was once expected to ‘tow’ new film narratives and grammar, it is now clearly at a ‘supportive’level. Screen X screening technology is one of the few theater-related technologies that Korea has original technology. It is not known whether it will become the standard of theater in the future, but it is a desirable phenomenon that it is getting good evaluation at home and abroad and the related facilities are increasing. This study deals with the status of multiplexes in the Korean movie market, the status of the special screenings, the status of the screen X screen, the similarity with the cinerama technology, and the future prospects of the screen X.
