영화사(史)에서 컴퓨터 그래픽이 미친 영향에 관한 연구 - 영화 "아바타"를 중심으로 -

Abstract

Media of movies are the genre made on the foundation of the reproduction of the reality. If we look back the trace of the development of movies, in the majority it was the process of seeking the method to show things most similarly to the reality. Recently there is a rapid change being accomplished in the motion-picture world and it is the fever of three-dimensional movie. The form of three dimensional movies started in 1950’s and the history is as many as about 60 years or longer. However, what is the reason why it is spotlighted again recently and becomes the starting point of the development of the form of movies in the future? In its center, there is the movie Avatar directed by James Cameron. <Avatar> was produced to be three-dimensional movie and met moviegoers. The existing three-dimensional screenings were mostly experiencing technological experiment of stereo effect or event screenings at amusement parks. However, <Avatar> did not lay emphasis on experiencing three-dimensional effect. What was put up in the front was a narrative and the high-level technical skills were the means used to show the narrative effectively. The technology properly melted and adjusted in the story presents the experience of reenactment not simply seeing it to audience. The success of <Avatar> will be able to play a role of ‘text’ about the harmony between narrative and technology and makes you be able to predict with what method movies in the future will develop. The audience will expect the experience in virtual reality which gets out of the unilateral appreciation using the visual and auditory senses and movies will repeat technological development to satisfy such desire of audience.
