Abstract

Existing researches on movie genre have been focusing on the relationship between a specific genre and performance of a movie. However, most of films cross into multiple genres and new approach is needed for analyzing a genre network. In this study social network analysis was used to analyze the genre centrality and its relationship with movie performance by developing a genre network, i.e. network among multiple genres constructed via genre co-occurrence pattern in a specific movie. Three index of genre centrality, eigenvector centrality, degree centrality, and bonacich power centrality, were tested for the valued genre network. Results showed that the relationship between genre centrality and movie performance appeared to be inverted U-shaped. This empirical finding is in line with the theory of ambidexterity which emphasizes the balance of exploration and exploitation. In addition, this study can provide practical implications for movie producers, distributors, and theaters that need to develop genre strategies.

영화 장르에 대한 기존 연구는 특정 장르와 영화 성과간의 유의성 검증에 집중하였다. 그러나 기존 연구는 대상 국가 및 시기에 따라 서로 다른 결과를 보여주고 있어 이론적, 실무적 시사점을 얻는 데 어려움이 있으며 주로 단일 장르와 성과 간의 관계에 집중했기 때문에, 최근 중요하게 부각되고 있는 복합 장르 문제를 이해하는 데 한계를 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 사회연결망 분석 방법과 복합 장르 자료를 활용하여 장르 간 네트워크를 구성하고 장르 중심성과 영화 성과와의 관계를 분석하였다. 연구 결과 장르 중심성과 영화 성과 간에는 역 U 형태의 관계가 있는 것으로 확인되었다. 이는 지나친 '탐색'과 지나친 '활용'보다는 이 둘 간의 직절한 균형이 필요하다는 이론적 주장을 지지하는 결과이다. 본 연구는 실무적 차원에서 영화 장르의 범위와 조합을 선택하는 데에도 유용하게 활용할 수 있을 것이다. 향후 연구에서 연구 대상을 확대하고 장르 간 연결에 대한 질적 분석을 수행한다면 연구의 신뢰성을 높일 수 있을 것으로 기대하며 영화산업의 성장과정과 연계한 장르 네트워크의 동적 연구로도 확장 가능할 것이다.
