VR movies form a relationship with the audience in completely different ways from general movies with their screen. In VR movies, the audience becomes the camera and also the subject of the camera viewpoint, which raises a need for a frame theory unique to VR movies to examine the first person viewpoint and replace the edition of frames to deliver a narrative. In VR movies, the frames delivering a narrative are not revealed and perform the symbolic narrative function, thus being called "implicit frames." The study discussed their related theoretical backgrounds including Russian Ark made in the one shot, one cut method by Alexander Sokurov, off-screen elements, and the Fourth Wall. In VR movies, the audience gets immersed in the narrative based on their paradoxical dilemma, which means that they exist in reality but are absent on screen at the same time, and experiences hyper-reality. In VR movies, space has a couple of attributes including the blocking of eyeline to move it and telepresence to tie up presence between reality and virtuality.

If virtual reality is well known through the medias, it seems that a few visual concepts are clearly related to VR. We try to think about it and introduce to a philosophy of VR techniques. So, from techniques and media techno-powers promotional campaigns, we aim to areal technology, it means an objective reflection on the VR techniques. To do so, we study the representations of VR in films. And we conclude that a negative image is the most common representation, related, often, to an Orwellian vision of the future world. In the second part, we study some VR films, and especially some made by famous film directors (Iñárritu, Bigelow). 'Head-turn' and 'Walk-around' films are commented to check their limits. Finally, we consider that for the moment, VR remains only a new space to screen films (into VR platforms connected to the Internet).

is a VR short documentary based on a real case of a Korean female sex worker Yoon Geum-yi who was killed by the US military in 1992. This study examines the mix of the first person point of view and the application of the second cadre added in the implicit frame shown in . With the development of VR technology and deepening the understanding of Virtual Cinematography, storytelling of VR films will also become diverse and interesting.

With the fast improvement of software and hardware technology of Virtual Reality, VR(Virtual Reality) film get attention for the new possibility of future film. Already, the production of virtual reality film festivals and Hollywood films is highly active, but it is still poorly related to virtual reality films in Korea. Due to this, this research analyze VR film with Realism films and Post-modernism films in four aspects that are film's frame(Mise-en-$Sc{\grave{e}}ne$), shot(montage), vew point and interactivity to deduct characteristics of VR film. Moreover, we also deduct an esthetical characteristic of VR films beyond the Realism films and Post-modern Films through analysing various VR films. This can be said as 'Digital Realism' that is come from the viewers' positive interaction and realization of Realism through Virtual Reality technology. There will be a successful development of VR film based on this research that analyse suitable directing method for Virtual Reality environment. At last, this research focused on characteristics of digital realism aspect for HMD based first person view VR animation .

영화관 발전 이유는(보통 영화,3D MIX,4D)관중 시청각 효과가 위해서 발전한다. 이제 까지 최고한 시청각 효과 받을 수 있는 기술을 $VR360^{\circ}$ Degree panoramic video촬영 기술 밖에 없다. 하지만 이 기술을 전통 영화 촬영 기술 보다 완전히 다르다. 이 기술 영화 방면 운용하면 원래 영화적 이론 크게 충격 받다.

The purpose of this study is to explore the narrative of VR disaster and safety Education introduced by disaster film narrative. VR(Virtual Reality) is be suitable technology for disaster and safety Education due to media characteristics as 'immersion', 'presence', 'interactivity', 'pleasure'. Disaster film narrative is able to be worth VR disaster and safety education as a variety of stories and educational effect. For this study, examine a theoretical study and a visiting research of 'Busan 119 Safety & Experience Center'. This study concludes that Firstly need to introduce catharsis effect, Secondly, build 'interactive narratives' that ensure active participation of users, Thirdly, introduce an 'adventure game' narrative element, Fourthly, introduce a hero-shaped narrative in which the user becomes a one-man hero, And lastly, need education as use user's multiple access and group experience learning. Therefore, This thesis is of academic value in that it suggest a desirable new direction of narrative in VR disaster and safety education.

리얼리티를 추구하는 영상기술의 발달은 가상현실을 구현하는 하드웨어의 발달을 불러왔다. 최근의 가상현실 콘텐츠들은 프로토타입이나 게임에의 시험 적용을 넘어 영화시장에도 문을 두드리고 있다. VR 콘텐츠가 보급되기 위해서는 하드웨어 뿐 아니라 콘텐츠의 제작방식에도 기존과 다른 접근 방식이 필요하다는 내용들이 제작 사례들을 통해 알려지고 있다. 본문에서는 VR 단편 영화의 카메라 설정과 관객들의 청취에 방해요소들을 사전에 줄여나가기 위해 모션캡쳐를 통해 사전영상제작을 수행한 사례를 통해 필요한 사전제작의 작업공정을 분석해 보았다.

In the context of the 4th Industrial Revolution, IoT, Big Data, and VR are rapidly emerging as core sectors of future industries. In particular, the VR has been under the limelight as a new media content appealing to new generation. And the VR user is not merely a 'spectator', but the 'actor'. In other words, the newness of VR is not in the 'more likely representation of the virtual reality', but in the 'making it act more virtual (more technically, 'interactive')' in the virtual world. In this paper, we examine the VR cinema in terms of film composition unit, montage, cinematic space, mise-en-$sc{\grave{e}}ne$ and perspective. The VR cinema, which is in the early stage of evolution, is basically based on $360^{\circ}$ image that strengthens the autonomy of the audience's point of view, but other factors like haptic or sonic immersion are becoming increasingly important. In addition, the VR cinema will be combined with AR, MR, SR, and Interactive technologies, and will expand its horizon as it is produced in various forms. Therefore, it is expected that more detailed viewpoint will be applied in the subsequent study on VR cinema.

최근 영화, 스포츠 중계, 게임 등 다양한 종류의 콘텐츠가 VR 형태로 서비스되고 있는데, 이러한 360도 영상 서비스 환경에서 영상과 오디오를 더욱 실감나게 제공하는 기술에 대한 연구도 많이 이루어지고 있다. 오디오의 경우 스테레오, 5.1 채널 오디오 등과 같은 채널 기반 오디오가 방송, 영화 등에서 주로 사용되었는데, 최근에는 객체 기반 오디오, 장면 기반 오디오 기술의 적용이 시도되고 있다. VR 서비스에서도 더욱 실감 있는 오디오를 제공하기 위하여 이러한 최신 오디오 기술의 적용이 시도되고 있다. 본 고에서는 증강 현실 및 가상 현실에 활용될 수 있는 최신 오디오 기술에 대해 간략하게 살펴보고, 최신 오디오 기술이 어떻게 VR 서비스에 적용이 되고 있는지에 대해 살펴본다. 그리고, VR 서비스를 위한 규격 제정 측면에서 오디오 기술은 어떻게 진행이 되고 있는지에 대하여 간략하게 살펴본다.

The purpose of this study is to conceptualize the changing aspects of human freedom of observation and viewing as the visual media evolves from film to 3D stereoscopic film and VR. The purpose of this study is to conceptualize the aspect of freedom and viewing aspect from the viewpoint of genealogy. In addition, I will identify the media aesthetic characteristics of VR and identify the identity and ontology of VR. Media has evolved around the most artificial sense of human being. There is a third visual space called screen at the center of all the reproduction devices centering on visual media such as painting, film, television, and computer. In particular, movies, television, and video screens, which are media that reproduce moving images, pursue perfect fantasy and visual satisfaction while controlling the movement of the audience. A mobilized virtual gaze was secured on the assumption of the floating nature of the so-called viewers. The audience sees a cinematic illusion with a view while seated in a fixed seat in a floating posture. They accept passive, passive, and passively without a doubt the fantasy world beyond the screen. But with the advent of digital paradigm, the evolution of visual media creates a big change in the tradition of reproduction media. 3D stereoscopic film predicted the extinction of the fourth wall, the fourth wall. The audience is no longer sitting in a fixed seat and only staring at the front. The Z-axis appearance of the 3D stereoscopic image reorganizes the space of the story. The viewer's gaze also extends from 'front' to 'top, bottom, left, right' and even 'front and back'. It also transforms the passive audience into an active, interactive, and experiential subject by placing viewers between images. Going one step further, the visual media, which entered the VR era, give freedom to the body of the captive audience. VR secures the possibility of movement of visitors and simultaneously coexists with virtual space and physical space. Therefore, the audience of the VR contents acquires an integrated identity on the premise of participation and movement. It is not a so-called representation but a perfection of the aesthetic system by reconstructing the space of fantasy while inheriting the simulation tradition of the screen.
