Comparative Study On Frame And Mise-en-Scene in Animation, Live-Action Movies & Digital Cinema

애니메이션, 실사영화, 디지털영화의 프레임과 미장센 특성 비교연구

Due to the development of digital cinema, Animations are no longer a peripheral part of movies and become major role in making films, including live action movies. This kind of change makes the distinctive line between animations and live action movies vague. In order to prevent such side-effect, this study is aimed at building solid territory again between the two by reviewing the difference and, based on it, looking for effective cinematic techniques to produce synthesized and digitalized images. First of all, consideration on mise-en-scene is crucially required to tell this line. The mise-en-scene is a director's own unique style in making films. In other words, it is a symbol expressed by him/her. With the mise-en-scene, competitive directors explore huge possibility of image expression and know how to use it audiences can understand. Therefore, I look into a set of studies on the mise-en-scene and methodological problems because it is thought that the mise-en-scene is an important element to distinguish way of expression in animations, live action movies and digital cinema. In addition, owing to these fundamental differences, both movies have their own limitation on representation even though they imitate it each other. Synthesized images produced by both representation may not overcome that limitation and even worse bring up the lack of expression and the increase on unfamiliarity, which reduce audiences' interest. But ironically speaking, digital cinema accept each representation. And it serves as hindrance to narrative's delivery not to balance each of it. Therefore, digital cinema that integrate animations and live action movies should keep an eye on the overuse of images and pursue balanced mise-en-scene.

최근의 영화는 기존의 애니메이션과 실사영화라는 범주로 나눌 수 없을 만큼 그 경계가 모호하다. 디지털영화의 등장이 애니메이션과 실사영화의 경계를 허물고 있는 것이다. 이 논문은 애니메이션과 실사영화, 디지털영화의 프레임과 이를 근간으로 한 미장센의 특성을 다루고 있다. 애니메이션과 실사영화는 각각 회화적, 사진적 프레임 특성을 가지고 있지만, 합성이미지를 근간으로 하는 디지털영화는 두 양식의 프레임 특성을 모두 갖게 된다. 이는 결국 영화작가의 표현스타일인 미장센의 차이로 나타난다.
