The purpose of this study is to analyze the success and failure of the movie made by the original game by comparing the box office environment of the movie made by the original game and to derive the necessary elements to make a good original movie. The specific analytical content studied the specific successes and failure factors of the remake of the game with , , and . Analyzes of the research show that the audience can be divided into game fan and non - game fans, and how to reflect the expectation on both sides of the movie is an important factor in making the movie. Also, games of different styles and genres from other themes can not be created in the same way as remixing movies, but flexible diversity and management are needed. Unconditional scenarios of games or game switching of movies can not be popular among the public, and it is very important to analyze specific target audiences.

본 연구에서는 최근 활성화되고 있는 게임과 영화의 콜래버레이션 현상에 대해 논의하고 흥행에 관해 분석한다. 이 분석의 결과에 따르면 영화를 원작으로 만들어진 게임은 성공률이 높은 반면 게임을 원작으로 만들어진 영화는 기대만큼의 흥행을 거두기가 어렵다는 것을 알 수 있다. 이런 현상이 발생하는 이유로는 영화자체의 낮은 완성도를 들 수 있고, 이미 게임을 해본 사람들을 주 타킷으로 만들어 졌기 때문에 게임을 하지 않는 대다수의 관객에게 외면을 당했다. 또한 게임과 영화의 본질적인 차이를 고려하지 않고 단순히 게임의 명성에 힘입어 게임 흉내 내기에 그쳤던 것을 알 수 있다. 게임을 원작으로 영화를 제작하려면 먼저 제작자나 감독이 그 게임의 고수가 되어, 게임의 세계관을 이해하고 스토리를 충분히 보존하여 게임을 하는 생생한 느낌을 살리는 연출을 해야 할 것이다.

Nowadays, it becomes a widespread and frequent practice that one content as a source is converted into diverse media formats. However, it is hard to answer the question whether the converted content might become successful again. That is mainly because one needs to have clear understanding about the characteristics of the target media format. This explains the phenomenon that there are very few successful movies which have been adapted from successful digital games. Thus, it is essential to conduct thorough and sufficient researches on the success factors of the adapted movies. The objective of this research is to investigate and analyze common factors of successful movies from digital games in terms of their visuals and narratives. We have found that successfully adapted movies from digital games shares three commonalities in the work of adaptation for effective cinematic impacts. Firstly, the adaptors of the successful movies have composed scripts with riveting storytelling through simplification, compression and removal of the original story. Secondly, they have satisfactorily re-implemented the original game avatars in the process of adaptation. Finally, they have effectively discovered inherent attractiveness of the original games and incorporated into the target movies with faithful following of cinematic grammar. We expect that our work contribute to reduce failure rate of the prospective movies converted from games by the proposed analysis of success factors shared among successfully adapted movies through the proposed case studies.

The commercial success of the game has also led to animation of the original game, especially the live version of The Street Fighter II in 1994 and a variety of videos of the game-based version, 2D Animation and 3D Animaion until now. But animations are not always successful because they are based on popular and commercially successful games. That's because when the original game was remade into an animation, the difference between the narrative structure of the original game story and the setting of the game and animation is striking. Nevertheless, a feature-length animation based on the Angry Birds game, which was released on May 19, 2016, has also been a huge commercial success, with this paper analyzing the case applied to the 12th stage of Christopher Vogler's hero's journey, Aengibird the Movie, and discussing the way in which the animation developed based on the game compared with other animations. Christopher Vogler, a Hollywood playwright, analyzed the structure of popular-loved movies based on the common narrative of the myth as the main motif of the mythologist Joseph Campbell. His narrative style is a hero's journey, using a total of 12 stages of epic narrative structure to help the protagonist find himself and achieve what he wants. Foreign heroes, adventure films as well as animations from big studios like Disney, Pixar, and Ghibli are using the story-development method of this Christopher Vogler.

One Source Multi-Use(원 소스 멀티 유스)'란 하나의 소재를 서로 다른 장르에 적용해 파급효과를 노리는 마케팅 전략을 말한다. 이 같은 '원 소스 멀티 유스'의 대표적인 소재가 바로 만화다. 그러나 근래에 들어서는 만화를 비롯하여 소설, 게임, 애니메이션, 영화 등을 원천소스로 하여 다양한 장르로 변형되고 있다. 그중 대표적인 것이 '공포의 외인구단'과 '바람의 나라'를 들 수 있다. '공포의 외인구단'은 이현세의 원작이고(1982-1983)이고 '바람의 나라'는 김진의 만화가 원전이다(1992-2008현재). '공포의 외인구단은 곧바로 영화화 됐으며 20년 후인 2009년에 드라마로 만들어 졌다. '바람의 나라는' 1997년 국내 최초의 온라인게임으로 만들어져 현재까지 많은 사랑을 받으며 서비스되는 게임이며 또한 2006년과 2007년에는 뮤지컬로도 만들어졌고 최근에는 TV드라마로 만들어져 많은 인기를 얻고 있다. 또 다른 예로는 '툼레이더'를 들 수 있는데 이는 게임이 원작이고 게임의 인기를 업고 영화로 만들어졌으며 세계적인 흥행성공에 힘입어 속편까지 제작된 상태이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 '원 소스 멀티 유스'의 대표적인 성공사례인 '바람의 나라'와 '툼 레이더'의 여러 요소 중 시각적인 요소인 캐릭터와 영상이미지의 분석을 통해 흥행요인을 도출하고자 한다.

This study focused on the games that were in the spotlight during the One Source Multi-use era, analyzing game based movies and the games. Through this, we wanted to examine the phenomena, changes, and in-depth meanings of the genre and grammar. Using Vogler's "12 Stages of the Hero Journey" and Greimas's "Model actantie" the three works of Need for Speed, Assassin Creed and Warcraft were cross-analyzed. Through this analysis, we looked at the structure of the discourse and identified the significant messages brought by the change in text.

애니메이션 시장이 대표적인 제조업인 조선시장보다 크고, 게임시장도 최근 반도체 시장을 앞질렀다는 통계가 나왔다. 해리포터, 포켓몬, 아기공룡 둘리, 마시마로 등은 소설이나 만화원작에서 출발해 애니메이션과 영화, 게임, 캐릭터 등으로 재창조되며 어마 어마한 수익을 만들어내고 있다. 세계경제는 현재 제조업 중심에서 서비스업 중심으로 체질개선이 빠르게 진행되고 있으며, 그 중에서도 지식기반 서비스산업이 핵심적인 분야로 부상하고 있다. 특히 디지털기술이 빠르게 확산되면서‘콘텐츠 기반경제’로 이행 하고 있다는 전망도 나오고 있다. 이러한 변화에 어떻게 대응하는지에 따라 우리나라의 장래는 달라질 것이다. 이에 <디지털콘텐츠>는 국내 디지털콘텐츠 산업현황과 발전과제를 점검하는 시간을 가졌다. 이날 좌담회에 참석한 김근태 한국콘텐츠산업연합회장, 김주혁 한국무선인터넷솔루션협회장, 이용규 중앙대학교 교수, 임동근 한국게임산업연합회장(가나다순) 등 참석자들은 특히 게임 산업에 대해 목소리를 높였고 정부의 정책적 지원이 적절히 이뤄져야 한다는데 의견을 모았다.

This study applied the scenario of the film "Warcraft: The Beginning, 2016" based on the world view and nonlinear story of online games to the basic requirements of a good story of five items. Based on this, it was found that the storyline of the film "Warcraft: The Beginning, 2016" was faithful to the game series with the same title, but weak for a film. This film did not satisfy any of the five requirements of a good scenario used for Hollywood production. Even before this film, many hit games were made into films, but box office hits are hard to find among them. As the game World of Warcraft was very famous worldwide, when it was made into a film, the film was expected to be a box office hit. However, it failed miserably at the box office. This is a result of failing to recognize that the characteristics of games that an individual leads the story are different from those of films that no interaction or choice can be made. It is necessary to understand that although games and films are the same in that they have narrative structures and visual stimulation graphics, they are totally different in the way they immerse people.

Recently, by growing of Korean comics/animation markets and number of consumers, the more people have been reproducing culture contents into derived contents. However, user experience of active users who enjoy these cultures have not been accepted well like other local culture festivals in South Korea, though there are high potentials of vitalization comics/animation festivals using the active users. In this study, the experiences of participants of BICOF (Bucheon International Comics Festival) from 2013 to 2014 researched using the method of ethnography, especially using (group) interviews and participant observations. The result from the research indicates that cosplayers have limited range of participation inside of festival. And they have negative experiences during their participation into festivals. Therefore, this study suggests necessity of methodology of continuous reflecting of the user experiences of active users into festival, for the solution of the successful festival, who was objectified in the festival.
