Background: The objective of this article is to make some analysis on the process of work and accidents occurring in slaughterhouses, evidenced in the Brazilian documentary film called Flesh and Bone. As such, it was necessary to discuss an alternative theoretical concept in relation to theories about health and safety at work. This alternative discussion focuses on the concepts of biopower and biopolitics. Methods: The use of audiovisual elements in research is not new, and there is already a branch of studies with methodological and epistemological variations. The Brazilian documentary Flesh and Bone was the basis for the research. The analysis of this documentary will be carried out from two complementary perspectives: "textual analysis" and "discourse analysis." Results: Flesh and Bone presents problems related to health and safety at work in slaughterhouses because of the constant exposure of workers to knives, saws, and other sharp instruments in the workplace. The results show that in favor of higher production levels, increased overseas market sales, and stricter quality controls, some manufacturers resort to various practices that often result in serious injuries, disposal, and health damages to workers. Conclusion: Flesh and Bone, by itself, makes this explicit in the form of denunciation based on the situation of these workers. What it does not make clear is that, in the context of biopolitics, the actions aimed at solving these problems or even reducing the negative impacts for this group of workers, are not efficient enough to change such practices.

This study multi-dimensionally analyzes "Indie Game: The Movie", The game documentary film published in June, 2012. As game industry increases, game-related documentary films are also being produced. Previous game documentary films usually focus on the success of popular game or game users and deal with the reason of success. However, "Indie Game: The Movie" centers on Indie game developers who are not from famous and huge companies. Due to the development of the game engine, these days, Indie games become a new trend that game developers are able to develop their own game freely. Then, this study has a purpose to study the life of Indie game developers and explore how and why they want to make their own game. More specifically, this study analyzes "Indie Game: The Movie" by 1) Story 2) Conflict and Resolution 3) Form 4) Sequence.

This paper proposes a convergence education method that combines architecture and communication through a documentary film entitled the Talking Architecture. The purpose of this program is to propose a new teaching and learning method for architecture education and investigates what would be an effective method of communication for architects. As mentioned above, this paper proposes a teaching method and a model applicable to actual classes based on the Talking Architect. It is proved that the method can be used for various types of classes and fields such as architectural expression, architectural planning and designing, housing theory, building structure, building materials, and other subject matters. In addition, this paper explores how architects communicate as described in the film. The findings show the potential of integrity, negotiating capability, and the convergent method of thinking and communication between the humanities and architecture as a positive communication model for architects. This paper opens up the possibilities for convergence education in the field of engineering education through three key words: film, architecture, and communication. And this paper is worth in that it is a useful method for developing convergence courses and team-teaching courses.

As movies entered the digital age, they quickly changed from group creation to individual creation. In particular, documentary films began to produce diverse and excellent works while dealing with extremely personal subjects and themes rather than heavy subjects. Especially in the 1990s, when the digital era began in earnest, Japan began to shift away from heavy political and social topics from documentaries to extremely personal subjects, and the subject matter became very diverse. In this paper, we would like to examine the concept, type, and characteristics of private documentaries that emerged as new forms of documentaries following the advent of the full-fledged digital era since the 90s, citing concrete examples of representative private documentary works since the 90s in Japan.

After a few recent documentary films had commercial success, factors for their success are getting attention. This paper explores the factors of the financial success of two documentary films. "My Love, Don't Cross That River" gained extended popularity with its universal message, and "Two Doors" conveyed a poweful political message. This paper conducted a case study by inteviewing production directors and distribution managers. Analysis was based on the three categories suggested by Litman and Kohl(1989): creative sphere, distribution-scheduling release pattern, and marketing efforts. Findings present the common factors of the two movies' success in the following areas: persons and events showing a powerful reality, a message with new and fresh insight, artistic quality, distribution strategy with timely scheduling, release time (period), public relations, and advertising.. In addition, "My Love, Don't Cross That River" was helped by a sufficient budget for scheduling/releasing and advertising. Its wide-release stratergy worked as well. "Two Doors" was aided by the government support for release and by the special factor called 'Participating viewer'. By examining the factors of documentary films' commercial success, this study has an implication for the popularization of documentary movies by indicating how to strategically apply relevant factors.

본 논문에서는 국가무형문화재 기록영상의 화질 개선에 관한 연구를 진행한다. 기록영상의 화질 개선을 위해 SRGAN 기반의 초해상화 복원영상 생성 프레임워크의 적용을 제안한다. Image aumentation과 median filter를 적용한 데이터셋과 적대적 신경망인 Generative Adversarial Network (GAN)을 기반으로 딥러닝 네트워크를 구축하여 입력된 Low-Resolution 이미지를 통해 High-Resolution의 복원 영상을 생성한다. 이 연구를 통해 국가무형문화재 기록영상 뿐만 아니라 문화재 전반의 사진 및 영상 기록 자료의 품질 개선 가능성을 제시하고, 영상 기록 자료의 아카이브 구축을 통해 지속적인 활용의 기초연구가 되는 것을 목표로 한다.
