Pre-production has become one of the more noticeable new trends in the Korean drama industry. The trend is being led both by the outsourcing producers and the incumbent broadcasting companies. In particular, the broadcasting companies seem to favor the mode of pre-production more and more, and that is happening not only when they are working on their own but also when collaborating with outsourcing producers. It has been generally proven and believed that the recruitment of A-list production factors is one sure way to produce better commercial results in the Korean drama industry. Then, the recent phenomenon of the pre-production is happening with the lack of the of A-list factors' participation. Especially, A-list writers have been showing a high degree of reluctance to take part in the pre-production, mentioning the inability to reflect the audience's responses on their stories. While the pre-prodction is being adopted in various genres, it is observed that the pre-produced dramas with multi-genre features have a higher chance to succeed.

This paper examines the relevance of pre-production and storytelling in big data analysis and, focusing on JTBC's Man to Man series, looks at how the drama's storytelling should be structured. In this study, we conducted text mining on blogs focused on a particular topic to read the viewer's thoughts on pre-produced dramas and on 67 blogs written about Pre-Production Dramas from 2016.12.15 to 2017.12.15. Also, we conducted sentiment analysis about the Man to Man series, which is not only a pre-production drama, but also has storytelling issues. The blog text extraction and text mining were analyzed using the OutWit Hub and the R, and the tools.provided by social metrics were used to make sentiment analyses of the larger data. Sentiment analysis revealed that the viewers of the Man to Man series did not agree with the romance between Kim Sul-woo and Cha Do-ha, due to the lack of reality in the female characters. Therefore, it was concluded that it is crucial to increase the reality of the characters in order to increase the audience's empathy. These studies will continue to be necessary, because they will form the basis for digitally driven storytelling studies and will provide valuable materials for conducting predictions and instructions in the cultural content industry.

The recent growth of the national film and broadcasting industry and the international success of korean films and dramas have resulted in enlarging the financial investment of overall film and drama producing system. Many of local governments contend in the inducement of the drama and movie production because building a drama or movie set help to grow the local business. However, the effort of local governments has rarely achieved the long-term effect. The purpose of this paper is to examine the successful examples of the local specialization as drama or movie set, to compare them with other countries, and to analyze the systematic cause of their success. Moreover, this paper tries to suggest few principles to preplan the successful inducement, to increase the positive outcome, and to invigorate the local area.

방송유통이 중요하고 방송시장의 과제이다. 드라마외에도 다큐멘터리가 꾸준히 수출이 증가되는 추세이다. 콘텐츠 부가가치 창출과 고용확산을 위해 방송사와 제작사는 국내외 유통에 눈을 돌려야 하는 게 맞다. 여기서 흔한 질문 하나. "독립제작사가 어렵다고 하는 데, 수출 유통을 하면 쉽게 부가수익을 창출하지 않을까? 왜 안하지?" 그건 배고픈데 빵이 없으면 쿠키를 대신 먹으면 되지 않을 까하는 질문과 같다. 저작권을 방송사와 소유하는 것도 중요하고, 그 보다 사전기획과 제작을 해서, 수입이 생길때까지 회사가 '버텨내야 한다'. 유통한다고 수익이 바로 입금되는 것은 아니다. 한국의 방송콘텐츠 기획은 훌륭하다. 인구 5천만명의 나라에서, 한국어를 쓰는 나라가 많지 않음에도 우리 모국어로 많은 나라에서 보고있다는 것은 대단한 것이다. 또한 세계 거리에 싸이와 소녀시대가 울려퍼지는 것은 대단하다. 그것은 미디어를 염두 해둔 한글창제자부터, 대중산업을 이끄는 모든 한국 제작자들은 훌륭하다. 지금은 방송사와 제작사가 해외진출에 눈을 돌리고 있으며, 많은 성과를 내고 있다. 향 후 방송콘텐츠산업의 부가가치 향상과 발전을 위해서 좀더 많은 작품이 해외에 나가야 한다. 그렇게 하기위해서 해외에 더욱 적극적으로 진출을 모색하기 앞서, 글로벌 기획을 할 때 염두하여야 할 점을 정리해보겠다.

In this paper, we introduce a case study of cinematography using digital human in virtual production. This case study deals with the system overview of virtual production using LEDs and an efficient filming pipeline using digital human. Unlike virtual production using LEDs, which mainly project the background on LEDs, in this case, we use digital human as a virtual actor to film scenes communicating with a real actor. In addition, to film the dialogue scene between the real actor and the digital human using a real-time engine, we automatically generated speech animation of the digital human in advance by applying our Korean lip-sync technology based on audio and text. We verified this filming case by using a real-time engine to produce short drama content using real actor and digital human in an LED-based virtual production environment.

Thanks to the advancement of the related technologies and equipment, today's video contents like movies, animations and soap operas are rapidly expanding their expressible cinematic imagination area. In order to fulfill the elevated visual expectations of audiences and realize exciting storytelling and fantastic world, the fusion of different techniques is actively used, and the reality for visual effects and image synthesis is increasing more and more. Accordingly, recent VFX-oriented movies using CG have a much more complicated production process than before. Therefore, the importance of Pre-visualization, aka Pre-vis is becoming bigger in the planning process for sophisticated design. Pre-vis means that the advance visualization for stories or directing ideas in the planning process before starting production of movies or animations. 3D animated Pre-visualization realizing directors' abstract and ambiguous ideas in 3 dimensional environment in advance is, as a powerful means for visual storytelling, briskly used focusing on the VFX film industry on which the present CG is broadly used, and the role of Pre-vis throughout productions has increased compared to the past. The studies, however, on the role and utility of Pre-vis are not enough. Therefore, this study was conducted on the role of Pre-vis used for present VFX movie productions using the examples of 3D animated Pre-visualization production in which the researcher of this study participated. In this study, the role of the Pre-vis that is subdivided presently, is divided into and 3D animatics and their each role is analyzed with the example images. Through this, the characteristics that Pre-vis should have are clarified and the concept of the advantages and utility led by the use of Pre-vis in productions is strengthened. The goal of this study is to induce active uses of Pre-vis throughout productions after forming consensus about the various roles of Pre-vis and their utility.
