Abstract

A golden age for Korean documentary films has begun in the 2010s. At present, the success of documentary film is attracting interest than any time in history. To meet the timely demand, the present study conducted research on success factors of documentary films for the first time. This study adopted the three categories of Litman's film success factors (creative domain, distribution domain, and marketing domain) and integrated to the cases of Korean documentary films to extract 12 success factors of documentary films through experts' validation process. Moreover, this study applied AHP method and examined the relative importance of success factors of documentary films. The result was as follows. The significant success factors mostly were found within creative domain. Documentaries that feature common themes rated the distribution/marketing factors highly whereas documentaries that cover socio-political themes rated highly the governments funding and infrastructure building. With regard to the online phenomenon of participating viewer, there was a gap in perception: the production field rated it high while the distribution/marketing field rated it relatively low. These success factors and priority will be used as baseline data in diverse fields related to documentary films, and provide significant implications to documentary film staff, policy makers, and researchers.

한국다큐멘터리영화가 2010년대 접어들면서 황금기를 맞고 있는 지금, 어느 때보다도 다큐멘터리영화의 성공에 대한 관심이 집중되고 있다. 본 연구는 이에 부응하여 처음으로 다큐멘터리영화의 성공요인에 관한 연구를 진행했다. 리트만(Litman)의 영화흥행요인 세 가지 카테고리인 창조적 영역, 배급유통의 영역, 마케팅 영역에 맞게, 한국다큐멘터리영화의 사례를 접목하여, 전문가의 의견을 통한 검증작업을 거쳐 다큐멘터리영화의 12개의 성공요인을 도출했다. 또한 AHP분석기법을 적용, 다큐멘터리영화의 성공요인의 중요도를 살펴보았는데, 가장 중요한 성공요인은 창조적 영역의 영화자체가 가지는 완성도로 나타났고, 보편적 소재의 다큐멘터리는 배급, 마케팅의 요인을, 정치사회적 소재의 다큐멘터리는 전체적으로 정부의 지원과 인프라구축의 요인을 중요하게 평가했다. 온라인을 통한 참여관객의 현상을, 제작군은 높게, 배급, 마케팅군은 상대적으로 낮게 평가하는 인식의 차이를 보였다. 이러한 성공요인과 우선순위는 다큐멘터리영화 관련한 여러 분야에서 기초 자료로 활용될 것이며, 다큐멘터리 영화 실무자나 정책입안자, 그리고 연구자들에게 중요한 시사점을 줄 수 있다.
