This study is to reveal the meaning of the interaction between a player and a game with the approach of an operational interaction such as joystick and keyboard, and also a representational interaction that the player takes during the game. It has been usually recognized that cut-scene in existing games is just limited to the role of opening scene that delivers mainly a background story of the game, and has the only passive function that serves additionally the expression of the state of the player or the replay of the results of the player's action. But in the aspect of game-direction, the study of the player's action about the interaction movie of 'Uncharted2', for example, one of the most representative video games, shows the possible classification of interaction movie along with three functions(situation direction, induced selective-action, information transfer). As a result, it is judged that interaction movie is not an additional element for the game-play, but rather takes the function of as an interface. The effective application of interaction movie could help a smooth connection between the recognizability from the view point of the player and the playing from the main character's viewpoint, ultimately leading to a direct means to maximize the delivery of the story.

We identified the correlation between museums, gamification, and viewers based on the results of keyword correlation analysis, designing the museum gamification system. By applying gamification to the museum through big data CONCOR analysis, it was found that viewers had fun watching it through direct experiences and experiences. In this study, we propose a system that directly selects the story desired by the viewer and serves the game suitable for the theme of the museum they visited. In addition, the system proposed in this paper organized a story algorithm so that viewers can directly select the difficulty level based on the story and play personalized games. We collected existing museum information and designed to enable games of various stories suitable for the museum's theme, and based on this, it was applied to the museum gamification app. Moreover, in order to further enhance the immersion of museum viewing.
