영화 스토리텔링에서 일어나는 사건과 주인공 목표와의 관계

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the effect of important incidents on the protagonist’s goal in each film storytelling stage, such as the incident leading to the beginning, the inciting incident, and the incident in the crisis stage. The research results show that through the beginning incident as the first event occurring to the protagonist after the prologue, the protagonist experiences change in circumstance or role, or comes into contact with new characters or information. However, such a change basically does not alter the protagonist’s life, so he or she does not really establish goals to cope with such a change. The inciting incident is the second event, following the beginning incident, and the most central event in storytelling, and through this incident, the protagonist’s life is destroyed in balance, or completely changes in direction. Besides, as aftermath of this incident, the protagonist is made to establish new goals to cope with changes. Through the crisis incident, the protagonist gets pressured so hard that he or she is required to chose goals in a dilemma or give them up. Then, while clearing up the incident in this stage, the protagonist may keep pursuing his or her original goals. Otherwise, the protagonist may make his or her goals reestablished and modified, or even materialized in detail, through newly-found information or realization.
