The paper analyzed the metaphoric expressions appeared in whose cinematic quality has been subjectively recognized on the global stage by winning the Oscar for Best Animated Short Film. Many contents and visual effects of the film were expressed with metaphor. Story and sequence were analyzed through the language system-based 'Conceptual Metaphor Analysis Framework'. In addition, characters have been analyzed through the 'Visual Metaphor Analysis Framework'. The framework is to analyze visual dimensions which are derived when concepts are structuredin animation. This paper has attempted to investigate and reveal patterns how animation self-organizes or how animation self-realizes through linguistic objectives. That is, it is to reveal how animation communicates with the audience from the metaphoric perspective among many conventional ones. In an animated film, metaphor is a fundamental means to connect fragmented images, produce a holistic view and therefore induce creative communication with the audience. The essential motive of metaphor which is expressed in various styles in is modern people's feeling of loss and sense of missing something. Train, bottle top, food, lost-and-found center, in-between space and lost items have significance across the movie. According to an analysis, metaphor offers simplicity and freshness as an aesthetic function. In addition, the metaphor expresses lengthy contents and various meanings implicitly, delivering an economic function. With a creative function, metaphor is a tool to generate new meanings. In other words, an animated film is a medium to inspire and move the general public as a means of communication and thinking, not just an entertainment for young generations. After all, metaphoric expressions have been used to deliver diverse and deep meanings in animated films.

In information system research. there has been a strong interest in developing the user-centered interface. Interface metaphors have been regarded as a user friendly device of the information retrieval systems. This study is to discover overall opinions about metaphors and to evaluate the usability of metaphors used in the homepages and retrieval interfaces of academic and public libraries. It is found that some metaphors cause users to confuse because they are similar each others or don\`t have unique meaning and because some have weak relationship between texts and images of metaphors. It is necessary to develop a metaphor model suitable for the a specific interface. This study proposes to develop functional metaphors which can help users easily understand how to operate and remember the procedures, and which are based in user\`s knowledge and experiences. The organizational metaphors of a virtual community also will be considered as a new type of retrieval interfaces.

There is a close interaction between the linguistic-syntactic representation system and the affective representation system that appear in the mathematical process. On the other hand, since the mathematical conceptual system is fundamentally metaphoric, the analysis of the mathematical concept structure through linguistic representation can help to identify the source of cognitive and affective obstacles that interfere with mathematics learning. In this study, we analyzed the problem-solving protocols of mathematical gifted children from the perspective of cognitive language and meta-affect to identify the relationship between the functional characteristics of the text and metaphor they use and the functional characteristics of meta-affect. As a result, the behavior of the cognitive and affective characteristics of mathematically gifted children differed according to the success of problem solving. In the case of unsuccessful problem-solving, the use of metaphor as an internal representation system was relatively more frequent than in the successful case. In addition, while the cognitive linguistic aspects of metaphors play an important role in problem-solving, meta-affective attributes are closely related to the external representation of metaphors.

The research of this paper is aimed at finding out the meaning of the literary rhetoric technique of metaphor in film, and understanding the difference between metaphor and symbol. It is also worth reference to the study of metaphor in the future. This paper will read the related paper to organize the relevant concepts and look at the classical film repeatedly, and find the expression element of the metaphor in it. Finally, look at Truman Show and analyze it and find a conclusion. Through related research, we have found that metaphor in movies is always built together through various aspects of themes, titles, lines, and plays. It provides clues through the screen and induces the audience to think. Metaphor not only helps improve the movie's content, but it is also the most important feature in the movie to influence the audience and induce thinking.

모바일 폰의 메뉴 구조는 하이퍼텍스트 형태로 정보를 제공하며 링크의 연결로 페이지 정보를 전달하거나 하부 카테고리로 연결하는 역할을 한다. 모바일 폰 사용자는 메뉴 조작을 통해 기능을 실행하며, 이 과정에서 선형구조, 계층형 구조, 대화형 구조, 데이터베이스 구조, 혼합구조와 같은 다양한 형태를 경험하게 된다. 사용자는 모바일 폰의 다양한 기능을 사용하면서 추상적 개념의 공간 인지를 구체적인 공간으로 이해하려 한다. 즉 UI, GUI에서 제시하고 있는 Label이나 방향표시를 따라 상하좌우라는 공간적 개념으로 은유하여 이해하는 것이다. 하드키 단말의 경우는 상하좌우키를 이용하여 공간을 이해했다면 최근에는 터치 및 제스처 동작 인식이 가능한 폰이 등장하면서 좌우 flick, 상하 flick 등과 같은 구체적인 행동으로 디바이스 화면에서 공간이 이동하는 것으로 이해하고 있다. 본 논문에서 사용자의 공간 은유를 이해하기 위해 상위 depth로 이동하는 [이전] 키의 기능을 중심으로 살펴보고자 한다. 첫째, 기능을 수행하기 위해 순차적으로 진행하는 방법보다는 [취소]를 이용하여 depth를 이동하는 것이 사용자의 모바일 폰의 공간 은유 파악에 더욱 도움을 줄 수 있을 것이라고 예상되기 때문이다. 둘째, [이전], [취소]라는 Label이 가지고 있는 모호성 때문이다. 모바일 폰의 다양한 기능 중에서 [이전]는 전체 사용에 있어 아주 작은 요소에 불과하지만 사용자는 정해진 순서의 process에 따라 기능을 수행할 때와는 다르게 역 방향 Process를 사용하면서 모바일 폰의 구조를 이해하고 모바일 공간을 인지하는 중요한 요소로 사용될 수 있을 것이라고 예상된다. 본 논문에서는 이전으로 돌아가는 [이전]의 기능을 통해 사용자가 메뉴의 층위 구조 및 공간 인지에 영향을 미칠 수 있을 것이다라는 가설을 설정하여 이를 실험을 통해 증명하고자 한다. 실험을 위해 모바일 폰을 자주 사용하고 있는 20~30대 남녀 10명의 피험자에게 전화번호부, 앨범, 문자메시지의 목록화면과 상세보기 화면을 제시한 후 마지막 상세보기 화면에서 실험에서 제시하는 제시어를 보고 어느 화면으로 이동하게 될 것인지를 예상하는 질문을 하였으며, 그러한 이유에 대해서는 인터뷰를 통해 확인하였다. 이 실험을 통해 사용자의 모바일 폰 공간인지는 동일한 레벨의 단계 즉 상세보기의 경우는 수평의 관계라고 보고 있으며, 목록화면과 상세화면의 관계는 상하의 관계라고 이해하고 있다. 이러한 이유를 인터뷰를 통해 질문하였을 때, 상세화면에서 좌우 방향표시가 존재하기 때문이라는 응답이 높았으며, 상세보기 화면이 좌우라고 인식하면 목록화면은 상하의 관계로 이해하고 있다고 응답하였다. 즉 하나의 정해진 공간인지를 통해 다른 공간을 유추하여 생각하고 있다고 볼 수 있다. 또한 결과적으로 실제 단말에서 [이전] 기능을 상위 depth로 이동하도록 설계하였다면 [한단계위]라는 Label 또는 e번과 같은 상위의 개념을 포함한 아이콘을 사용한다면 혼란을 줄일 수 있는 방법으로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 예상된다. 현재 논문에서는 [이전]라는 기능으로만 사용자의 공간 개념을 예측할 수 있었지만, 터치스크린의 등장과 함께 플릭과 같은 다양한 제스처에 의한 인터렉션이 가능한 현 시점에서 추상적인 공간은 방향성을 가진 제스처에 의해 구체적인 물리적 공간으로 인식하는 경향이 더욱 뚜렷이 나타나고 있다. 이러한 시점에서 사용자의 공간인지에 도움을 줄 수 있는 Label과 방향성 표시는 더욱 절실히 요구되고 있는 시점이며, 이후 모바일 환경에서 사용자의 공간인지에 대한 구체적인 연구가 필요하리라고 예상된다.

This study describes the semantic theoretic interpretation through the extensive use of semantic metaphors for intensive web interface with information and the metaphoric value of metaphors for interface design. Common factors that influence web design are empirical establishment and verification for generating web symbols and these are have important elemental perspectives that are used to assess the usefulness and key elements of the site. In addition, the structure of the screen has begun to change dynamically from the application of web technological functions, and the media functions have become important to make web standards when implementing visual structuring from the perspective of semiotic. Instead of using a technical expression approach to examine semiotic, a semiotic approach is applied to create aesthetic codes through the human-computer interface in terms of semiotic in a variety of natural and universal fields. Based on this, it is used as means of communication to convey the intended meaning to users so as to highlight the importance of the usability issues and metaphors user interface.

The purpose of this study is to analyze elementary students' conceptual metaphor forms of light through their image schema of light. The participants were 162 $6^{th}$ grade students from G city, Gyeongsangnam-do. For this study, the analysis framework was developed as image schema analysis and systemic functional grammar analysis. Then, students' metaphorical expressions of light concepts were analyzed by the framework(image schema analysis and systemic functional grammar analysis). The findings are as follows. First, in the understanding of source of light, students had two structures of light. (a)Light comes out from a light source and goes straight in space. (b)Light is dispersed around a light source. Second, in the understanding of the process to see a material, students had five structures including scientific concept as light came out from a light source approaches the material and reflects off the material, then the light goes into the person's eyes. Third, in the understanding of reflection of light, students had four structures including scientific concept as light came out from a light source approaches the mirror and is reflected from the mirror.

Subject of this Study is focused on set design for short animation, GHOST, made and presented by animation studio, BEYOND PROSCENIUM. Sets in animation have several functions. First, sets are a playground that character can play to lead a story. Second, sets explain background, which is time and space. Third, sets can visualize metaphorical meaning or symbolic system in animation. To obtain final design that is sufficient to those functions, this study analyzes the case that metaphorical and symbolic meaning from scenario is how to apply into set design also, mentions the method that designer multiply considers character, property and composition from the camera and movement from those elements. Set designers for animation should have ability that simultaneously considers so many elements and they need design skills to create it.

The 'Hard Matte' was the method being wide-screen to the directors wanted more vivid and made real films to the audience at the beginning of cinematography. The hard matte have changed as unique device in films as opening and closing credit titles making impressions which being captured strongly to the people at the time the wide-screen has developed. In HDTV has invented in NHK the hard matte is called 'letter box style and on music video channel we can see the style as easily. That kind of hard matte images on music video have effected to commercial films are seen recently. But some of commercial films have problems like only expending horizontal way. The hard matte is one of important ways that could regulate the art contents with art form. Korean film image makers as directors and production designers must know the role and function of hard matter has arranged reasonable in foreign films.
