This study examines the legend of 'Grandmother Seolmundae and Five Hundred Generals', the cultural archetypes of Jeju, and analyzes the characteristics of its contents. After analyzing the feasibility of using the analyzed cultural prototype as cultural contents such as games and animations, based on this analysis, we tried to suggest a cultural planning approach based on the cultural prototype to the cultural agency. Therefore, the implications of this study are as follows. First, among the cultural prototypes in Korea, 'Grandmother Seolmundae and Five Hundred Generals', which represent the legends of Jeju Island, are being organized centered on many historical researchers and Chaerokga, but there is no precise establishment of the exact timing of the legend and how it arose. Therefore, when planning and developing content based on the cultural prototype, it is most important for cultural agencies to develop a story after researching historical evidence and opinions of local residents to identify a consistent point of view. Second, although the contents of the cultural archetype are arranged slightly differently by historians and recorders, the main contents and characteristics of the story are found to have a similar form. Therefore, cultural agencies should focus on finding the point of view and characteristics of a story, even if a story is written differently by different people when doing a cultural prototype. Third, when planning a game based on the cultural prototype, the main elements such as the elements to be expressed in the game and the fun elements should be found and presented. In particular, because fun and rules are the most important parts of games, if this part cannot be derived from the story of the cultural archetype or cannot be made, it is difficult to transform the cultural archetype into a game. Therefore, it can be seen that it is important for cultural agencies to set their game plan intentions in consideration of story expression and fun, even if it is the core or non-core of the entire story of the cultural archetype. Lastly, although the cultural prototype 'Grandmother Seolmundae and Five Hundred Generals' was presented as animation content, it is important to develop it considering the story, characters, media, and audience. Therefore, cultural agencies should be able to derive the elements such as stories, representative and auxiliary characters, and viewers that can be adapted from the cultural prototype as much as possible. It will be an important part of raising.

Recently, media art is transforming from analogue to 'digital', and from 2D to '3D'. In particular, the range of utilizing 3D Media Art is getting wider through merging with other genres of contents in the digital environments, such as Media façade, Hologram, Virtual reality, App application, and etc. Therefore, by referring to the 3D award-winning works of Pirx Ars Electronica, which are regarded as the most outstanding works of media art of today, factors that affect sensation of visual immersion have been analyzed, through which strategies for maximizing viewers' interests in media arts and heightening their emotions while viewing have been determined. Based on the findings of the study, it has been shown that such works of media arts that involve development of concepts with 'creativity' and 'variability' from the perspective of visual concept, such as 3D modeling and mapping, with 'consistency' through out all concepts, as well as the works with stronger 'restriction' of concept within its animation and postproduction, attracted more interests from the viewer. From the point of view with visual four steps in composition, positioning the change in quality of 3D 'shape' and 'material' following the four-step rule, and gradual increase of change in quantity within the 'number' and 'size', in addition to increased degree of systematization within the change in editing, such as the 'scene change', resulted in more heightened emotions from the viewer. Thus, in order to maximize sensation of visual immersion, strategies for 'developing 3D visual concepts' while 'synchronizing' them, as well as 'strengthening the four steps within 3D visual composition' while 'systematizing' them should be emphasized.

In the midst of the fusion era in digital contents, securing a variety of traditional cultural sources is important. Out of its long history, Korea has extensive spectrum of cultural contents in combination with conventional religions. Buddhist art has been a pillar of the traditional culture for a long time in Korea, by which we could secure new sources for cultural contents and classify them. This is aimed that we could bring the future brands into reality based on the traditional culture through Buddhist cultural contents. This study hired the original cultural forms in the viewpoints of traditional culture. Study on the implication through the symbols of Avalokitesvara (觀音菩薩) and Buddhist child (童子) in Buddhist art might allow to secure a foothold to create own characters. Thus, focusing on Avalokitesvara (觀音菩薩) and Buddhist child (童子) in the Buddhist sacred images as registered in Cultural Heritage Administration for national treasures, those traditional characters were reviewed through their own system of symbol. During the course, Buddhist characters were available to be classified into DB by their roles and materials지물. This study could help to exploit the complicated Buddhist culture of its symbolic meanings and to shape them into original forms of the culture. Also, through the meanings of the Buddhist sacred images, it could provide the digital contents pool with Korean traditional characters.

As digital media evolves, image changes have evolved from 2D to 3D. At the end of the 1930s when the US overcame the economic crisis and met the Second World War, people needed a hero to escape reality. In DC (Detective Comics), superhero comics started to become popular by making superhero series mainly with Super Man and Bat Man. Timely Comics, founded by Martin Goodman in 1939, also published Marvel Comics, the first comic strip in epochal comics on October 1 of the same year. From this point on, Marble has developed mainly in the cartoon industry. However, in the development of the times and the change of media, Marble boldly grasps the influence of Hollywood movies from the comic centered development system, and moves from the cartoon market to the movie market. Especially, the trans-media storytelling strategy was well reflected in the movie "Avengers" series, which Marvel produced after the merger with Disney. In this paper, When Marble Comics compares with the time when the comic book industry developed before the merger and the time when the movie industry was focused after the merger with Disney What kind of change and development, and The purpose of this study is to investigate the causes of these changes.

The fast extraction of the silhouettes of a model is very useful for many applications in computer graphics and animation. In this paper, we present an efficient algorithm to compute a sequence of perspective silhouettes for a polyhedral model from a moving viewpoint. The viewpoint is assumed to move along a trajectory q(t), which is a space curve of a time parameter t. Then, we can compute the time-intervals for each edge of the model to be contained in the silhouette by two major computations: (i) intersecting q(t) with two planes and (ii) a number of dot products. If q(t) is a curve of degree n, then there are at most of n + 1 time-intervals for an edge to be in a silhouette. For each time point $t_i$ we can extract silhouette edges by searching the intervals containing $t_i$ among the computed intervals. For the efficient search, we propose two kinds of data structures for storing the intervals: an interval tree and an array. Our algorithm can be easily extended to compute the parallel silhouettes with minor modifications.

This study examines the ethnoscape of TV dramas on three Korean nationwide television channels from 2005 to 2012 by breaking down how many non-Koreans appear and how they are represented. Among all TV dramas, 6.4% show non-Korean characters of which are generally supportive or small roles. These characters are categorized into four groups: adoration, sympathy, proximity, and other. The adoration group consists mostly of white males from USA or Europe that have professional careers such as medical doctors or lawyers and are positively represented with attractive appearance and nice character. On the other hand, the sympathy group is made up of Southeast, Central Asians and blacks. They are mainly represented as an underprivileged group: females and low-paid workers. In the proximity group are the Japanese and Chinese characters. The Japanese are often represented as rich people that are highly competent or are able to easily cooperate with Koreans. This result shows that Korean TV dramas provide racial and ethnic stereotypes. Though rarely, some dramas represent various lives of foreigners and racial others in Korea. This study contributes to the establishment of sound multiculturalism by analyzing representation of racial others in TV dramas and internalized stereotypes of foreigners in the diverse and multicultural Korean society.

Illusion played by mutual communication in Interactive Media Art is studied in this thesis from the narrative point of view, not from the entertaining point of view. Microscopic narrations founded in screen changes are analyzed by traditional narrative factors such as plot, point of view, narration, time creating the identity of Interactive Media Art. Traditional narrative factors in consequence have been converted to different forms after being combined with the features of Interactive Media Art. Plot has been converted to fragmentary plot and creators' point of view in many work pieces has been recreated to the outside participants' point of view. Also, creators' narrations described from various points of view has transferred to participants' narrations based on physically spacious search. Times of the present sharing with the past are observed in Interactive Media Art, too. It is concluded that audience's active participation through mutual communication makes an influence on the change of essentially traditional narrative factors.
