The purpose of this study was to look at the relationship between perpetrators and victims in Joshua Oppenheimer's Act of Killing. The theoretical tools used for this purpose were to study $Ren{\acute{e}}$ Girard's "Mimetic desire" and Hannah Arrent's "banality of evil" and to look at $Ren{\acute{e}}$ Girard's theory of "Le Bouc emissaire". The meaning of the study used the reproducible narrative of the film to challenge the reproducibility of past genocide and seek the combination of documentary and fiction as a way to show the truth. Also, the reconciliation between the assailant and the victim is meaningful in securing 'neutrality of fairness'.but they are still lacking, and more in-depth studies will need to be conducted in future further studies.

El cine como medio de narrar el trauma histórico de los cubanos se formó especialmente en los años sesenta gracias al Instituto Cubano del Arte e Industria Cinematográficos y se sitúa en la cumbre. En el cine hecho por el director cubano Humberto Solás el discurso de historia, trauma y su memoria tiende a relatar básicamente sobre el mensaje de no olvidar el trauma histórico a través de buscar la manera eficaz e intrínseca de narrarlo. El hecho de no olvidar el trauma histórico y de poder enfrentarse con los elementos causantes del trauma significa el poder de tener la posibilidad probable de adquirir la mirada objetiva para observar la experiencia 'histórica' y la memoria 'cotidiana', y sus relaciones. Si consideramos el hecho de que la tendencia de la víctima suele querer olvidar la memoria del trauma por el miedo y dolor de enfrentarse con la representación del trauma, el enfrentarse con el trauma representado ya puede significar que la víctima esté en un trámite de conseguir la penetración con la cual supera lo negativo que le ofrece el trauma a la víctima. Este artículo se dedica especialmente para averiguar la estrategia del director cubano para realizar este fin de encontrar la manera adecuada en narrar el trauma cubano para que los cubanos puedan adquirir la penetración a través de la identificación y la simpatía entre los personajes del cine y los espectadores, enfocando con detalle en los carácteres de los protagonistas femeninas que son tres diferentes individuos en el mismo número de episodios. Cada protagonista, Lucía en cada episodio experimenta el trauma personal con diversos motivos, pero a pesar del dolor y del miedo del trauma histórico se despiertan los espectadores, quienes se identifican con la protagonista a través de la simpatía y la identificación, llegándose al momento de conseguir la penetración con la cual mira el futuro de la sociedad cubana con el objetivismo libre de los traumas históricos.

When was launched in 2014, it was immediately ranked 2nd in English gross sales record in the first half of 2014, attracting huge attention from avid game users. Colin Moriarty(2014) states that the worldwide popular game, , lies on the alternative history assumption, 'what if Nazi Germany won the second world war? In regard to this, this research addresses how the characteristics of alternative history was adopted and visually represented in FPS game trailer. In terms of research method, firstly, literatures will be reviewed about definition of alternative history and some of the previous examples where alternative history was applied in novels, films and games. Secondly, narrative composition of alternative history is categorized as three sequential phases, (1) borrowing real history material, (2) connection between real and fictional history and (3) reconstruction of history through reinterpretation. Thirdly, the live-action game trailer will be analysed by three sequential phases of narrative composition, and CG game character and background will be analysed by spatial background, characters and props. The phase of 'borrowing' has used the historic images related to the World War II, and the phase of "connection' has composited by "connection through circumstantial events". The phase of 'reconstruction' has unfolded its fictional narrative in the form of "limited fictional history" In addition to this, has constructed dystopia world through composing of historic images and CG characters by SF design. In the light of this, the narrative composition of alternative history successfully extends to game area.

최근 들어 3D에 관한 관심이 높아지면서 각종 기술적인 이슈는 물론 3D 콘텐츠의 제작 방향에 대한 논의가 활발하게 이루어지고 있다. 흔히들 3D 콘텐츠라고 부르는 것은 현재로선 어떤 특정한 장르나 엄정한 정의를 가진 용어라기보다는 일종의 새로운 매체기술을 위한, 매체 기준적인 콘텐츠의 분류 형태라고 볼 수 있을 것이다. 따라서 3D 콘텐츠라는 용어를 새로이 썼다고 해서 좋은 콘텐츠가 지녀야 할 근본적인 요소가 달라지는 것은 아니다. 물론 매체의 발전과 변화에 따라 대중들의 가치관, 예술적 시대적 패러다임, 근본적인 인간의 생활방식까지 바뀔 수 있다는 것은 자명한 사실이다. 이는 회화 문화에서 사진의 등장으로, 사진에서 동영상으로, 영화에서 TV와 비디오로, 그리고 아날로그에서 디지털로의 중심 이동이 인간의 삶에 얼마나 큰 변화를 초래했는지만 상기해봐도 쉽게 알 수 있다. 그러므로 3D기술이 가진 파급효과와 영향력이 어디까지인지 쉽게 단정할 수는 없는 것이다. 그러나 언급했듯이 어떤 콘텐츠라도 결국엔 인간이 향유하리란 점은 분명한 사실이다. 현재는 3D 콘텐츠의 제작 방향에 대해서 지나치게 매체 중심적으로 접근하려는 경향이 있는데, 역사적으로 언제나 인간에게 매력적이었던 콘텐츠의 기본은 변함이 없었다. 변하는 것은 오히려 매체나 기술, 하드웨어 쪽이었다. 따라서 콘텐츠를 매체에 이식하는 가변적인 내용물쯤으로 이해하는 기술중심의 사고에서, 인간이 근본적으로 원하는 이야기 콘텐츠를 구현하기 위해 매체가 변해왔다는 점을 이해해야 하는 콘텐츠 중심 사고도 할 필요가 있는 것이다. 본고에서는 과거 많은 매체들의 역사를 통해 새로운 매체 기반에서의 콘텐츠의 모습이 어떻게 변해왔는지를 되짚어 보려고 하며, 이를 통해 앞으로 3D 콘텐츠의 향방을 유추해 볼 기회를 마련하고자 한다.

This paper examines a social and cultural history of horror films through the keyword "technology", focusing on The Spark of Fear: Technology, Society and the Horror Film (2015) written by Brian N. Duchaney. Science fiction film is closely connected with technology in film genres. On the other hand, horror films have been explained in terms of nature/supernatural. In this regard, The Spark of Fear, which accounts for horror film history as (re)actions to the development of technology, is remarkable. Early horror films which were produced under the influence of gothic novels reflected the fear of technology that had been caused by industrial capitalism. For example, in the film Frankenstein (1931), an angry crowd of people lynch the "monster", the creature of technology. This is the action which is aroused by the fear of technology. Furthermore, this mob behavior is suggestive of an uprising of people who have been alienated by industrial capitalism during the Great Depression. In science fiction horror films, which appeared in the post-war boom, the "other" that manifests as aliens is the entity that destroys the value of prosperity during post-war America. While this prosperity is closely related to the life of the middle class in accordance with the suburbanization, the people live conformist lives under the mantle of technologies such as the TV, refrigerator, etc. In the age of the Vietnam War, horror films demonize children, the counter-culture generation against a backdrop of the house that is the place of isolation and confinement. In this place, horror arises from the absolute absence of technology. While media such as videos, internet, and smartphones have reinforced interconnectedness with the outside world since the 1980s, it became another outside influence that we cannot control. "Found-footage" and "torture porn" which were rife in post-9/11 horror films show that the technologies of voyeurism/surveillance and exposure/exhibitionism are near to saturation. In this way, The Spark of Fear provides an opportune insight into the present day in which the expectation and fear of the progress of technology are increasingly becoming inseparable from our daily lives.

In this paper I proved that the intention of the movie is to put the reader at the crossroads of choice, which is still in progress, in this context confirmed that the storytelling is very enlightening and popular. This was demonstrated by the thing of making a story the charactor's Affects process itself in the story and a change in the point of view from witness to participant in the discourse. Jang Hoon seeks to reconstruct the Gwangju Democratic Movement through Kim Man-seop, a character who now lives here with trauma. Faced with a sympathetic message from a common and familiar figure around us, such as a taxi driver, it should be said that the goal was to get the audience to accept past gruesome incidents as part of us. The film uses Affects as a way to make the 1980s "Them" become "we" and replace the 37-year-old incident with our modern story. Soon, the film's intention is to turn Gwangju's Democratic movement from "There, Their Story" to "Here, Our Story." That's why popular storytelling was needed and concluded that it was the popularity the film acquired.

As the complexity of business environment increases rapidly the use advanced information technology start to affect not only the business processes of individual companies but also the fundamental nature of business and industrial ecosystem. The changes observed at the level of business and industrial ecosystem encompasses a broad range of transformation. This unit of analysis is not sufficiently dealt with by existing information systems research. This research attempted to analyze the changes in business ecosystem caused by digital transformation using a relatively new approach called ecosystem mapping. We developed and suggested an ecosystem mapping methodology step by step and applied the methodology to film industry. The film industry is chosen because it is an industry very sensitive to the changes in technology and has gone through massive transformation during the last three decade by way of using modem information technology.

With the cultural background of whiteness I did examine the universal meaning of absolute good, the special of psychosis, and the fantastic of femininity and memory/record. As an example I analyzed the symbolic meaning of white used in Korean films. Unconditional goodness, white as a generality: White color in all the films of good-evil confrontation falls into this category. The most obvious and the simplest configuration are the black-white dichotomy. In Nameless Gangster: Rules of Time(2011), The Merciless(2016), Asura: The City of Madness(2016) and The Bad Guys: Reign of Chaos(2019), white is the absolute good but it is not limited to a fair key figure. Paradoxically, black is not given only to the side of absolute evil. White is used to be a flexible visual device that reflects the socio-political situation without changing the meaning of the general good. Psychosis and pills, white as a peculiarity: The visual function that emphasizes sado-masochism in the absolute good and the universal symbol of white extends to psychotic specificities such as hysteria. In all the films creating horror, white symbolizes the mentally disabled and the pill for healing. Femininity and haunted white: White of absolute good is expressed by the socio-cultural tendency of femininity and the black-white contrast of vision is applied to the gender difference. In general the women's sexuality is emphasized in color red, but white is arranged in the background. In TaeGukGi: Brotherhood Of War(2004), 71: Into The Fire(2010), My Way(2011), The Front Line(2011), Roaring Currents(2014), Northern Limit Line(2015), The Battle: Roar to Victory(2019) and Battle of Jangsari(2019), white given to female figures sticks to the traditional femininity such as motherhood, sacrifice and weakness. The concept of specters is applied to desires, memories/records, history, fantasy, virtual/reality and social media images. The film history capturing to list memories and moments brings up the specters of socio-political genealogy. Most of films aiming for socio-political change are its examples and white constituting Mise-en-scene records to remember a historical event in Peppermint Candy(2000), The Attorney(2013) and A Taxi Driver(2017).

This study presents an investigation into South Korean films in the 1990s in the aspects of genre change and emotional reorganization. The 1990s witnessed a change of genres and a paradigm shift in the history of Korean films according to the revolutionary changes of the film industry structure and media environment. Believing that these changes had something to do with emotional changes driven by global capitalization symbolized by democratization in 1987 and the foreign currency crisis in 1998, the investigator analyzed the phenomena in film texts and examined the opportunities and context behind them. Unlike previous researches, this study made an approach to the history of Korean films in the 1990s with three points: first, this study focused on why the romantic comedy genre emerged in the 1990s and what stages its formation underwent since there had been no profound discussions about them; secondly, this study analyzed the biggest hits during the transitional period from 1987~1999 to figure out the mainstream genres and emotions during that period since these hits would provide texts to show the genre domain and public taste in a symbolic way; and finally, this study grew out of the separate investigation approach between melodramas and romantic comedies and looked into an emotional structure to encompass both genres to make a more broad and dynamic approach to South Korean films in the 1990s. History flows continuously without severance from previous times. When there is attention paid to inflection points and opportunities in the continuum, it can show the dynamics and structures of changes. This research led to the following conclusions: the mainstream genre of South Korean films had been melodramas until the 1980s. The old convention had been kept to offset or suture contradictions and excessive elements deviant from the structural consistency. Here, the structural consistency refers to no compliance to rational regulations or trade. The process of genre reorganization in the 1990s happened while securing some distance from the convention of making the structural consistency a sacrifice. The direction was to reinforce control through reasonable rationalism and logic of capital. It developed into romance, which would start with comedy to keep distance from the objects through laughter, heighten the level of remarks, and expand criticality, symbolize emotions with taste items, and build through the logic of mutual consensus and practical trade. In the 1990s, the South Korean films thus developed in a direction of moving away from the narrative of urgent pathos based on unconditional familism. It was on the same track as the entry of the South Korean society into the upgraded orbits of democracy and capitalism as the twins of modern rationalism since the latter part of the 1980s.

2000s Korean cinema was influenced by capital, so it chose the way of Allegory instead of talking directly about sensitive issues. A representative movie director is Park Chan Wook who directed The Vengeance Trilogy. , The final part of Park Chan Wook's The Vengeance Trilogy, reflected Baroque Aesthetics. I analyzed focusing on Walter Benjamin's Allegory notion in this paper. Walter Benjamin said Allegory is different from a symbol which is represented by totality. Allegory means to reconstruct the fragment instinctively and to expose something repressed. The German Tragic Drama during the baroque period reflects this well. It is my argument that Park Chan Wook incorporated these underlying themes from German Tragic Drama into . He deconstructed the liberation and the birth myth of a nation, and he restored the socialist and anarchist who were completely excluded from history.
