In the main current 3D animations which are put on the screens, the characters in the animations have a directly effect on the audiences by being closely connected with their descriptive constructions. In this research i am going to recognize the importance of characters and trace the points of sameness in the characters that appear in the 3D animations by analysing them. For this, 1 divided the characters that made lots of box-office profits all over the world and were made at Pixar which focused on characters and stories into 7 types according to written by Vladimir Propp and grasped the characters with MBTI system. 1 found out the points of sameness between the characters with this system. That will be able to be made use of referring the streams of stories and fixing the characters at the planning and producing stages. If we should make a study of figures, expressions, motions of the characters in connection with this research, it could help us to create the characters which are suitable for animations not only formative elements but also acting.

The objective of this study was to explore the humorous scenes shown in animation such as types of humor, frequency of humor, hours of humor, and correlation between subject of humor and supporting role. As the subjects of research, this study selected and that recorded the ten-times different number of audiences even though both works were produced by the same studio called 'Odolttogi'. In the results of analyzing those two works, there were differences. Drawing the characteristics of humor, the frequency of humor should be a lot more shown in the early to mid part than the latter part, and there should be diverse types of humor. And the frequency of humor by main characters should be increased. When the types of supporting roles were more diverse, the tendency of humor was also shown diversely. Also, the humor that was formed within relationships of characters was more effective than the humor formed alone. Through the slapstick or linguistic comedy in which such interactions are shown into actions, more diverse verbal plays could be shown. These elements could make it possible for animated works to diversely express more creative and funnier scenes of humor.

Stage Make-up functions as an important means of communication which makes audience understand the characteristic facts by transforming an actor/actress into the character in the play and also, visually enlarging characters. Due to the creativeness of Stage Make-up, the conceptual study on Stage Make-up design for visual expression coincide with the intended character is needed. However, in Korea, the systematical approach for Stage Make-up design by character types has not developed, or studied yet, The result of this study is to present system model through theoretical study of psychological personality types. and to apply for the expression of characters in the play based on physiognomy(face-reading), The case study of visualizing according to an actor/actress's shape of face. is Specially focused on eyes and eyebrows. In designing Stage Make-up, eyes and eye brows are important elements as a tool for strong expression of the characters.

Light is a basic force that functions in all the formative arts. Light (brightness) is an important subject of study in that it contains the force to control emotion and has much influence upon the shaping of a visual image and a feeling. If an artist systematizes the characteristics of brightness and creates an image, he or she can acquire a useful tool of expression. Because light is a powerful medium of expression of a visual image, a study on the characteristics of brightness for the emotional expression of an image in the contextual relationship with narratives seemingly has a crucial meaning. Emotion is influenced by a visual image very much, and a visual image is inevitably influenced by light. The brightness by light is basically classified into bright, dim, and dark. And the three basic stages of brightness specialize an image according to the setting of scope of maximal and minimal luminosity, and the image is further differentiated by the size of bright portion or dark portion. Since emotion is such a phenomenon as immaterial and psychological, it is difficult to break down it. Furthermore, clarifying the principle of an image in which the shade of light is associated is impossible. However, the width of luminosity and the change of size can give quite a change to a visual image, and the visual image has further influence upon man's emotion too. Although the influence of brightness upon a visual image varies with extents, circumstances, and personal tastes and interests, even the same image clearly changes with the adjustment of brightness.

This paper focalizes on the 'evolution' of monster animation and . Actually, Many characters' 'Evolution' is a very powerful convention of Japanese genre animation. Lots of young people feel a huge pleasure about character's evolution. It is a fantastic spectacle to boys and girls. The first characteristic point of characters' evolution is growing-up body to an adult. For example, magical girls genre shows a woman's sexy body. This scene gives a sexual fantasy to young girl spectators, a voyeuristic visual pleasure to young boy spectators. The second point is that a transforming-body gains some super power or magical power. The third point is that a great many characters is in one text. In , characters' numbers go on increasing through 6 ways-hybrid type, mutant-reiteration type, metamorphosis type, simple-grownup type, narrative type, multiple evolution type. The evolution of has to pay attention to only one transforming way. Most Digimon characters are becoming to a human-weapons cyborg. In my opinion, this is very dangerous phenomenon with a political ideology.

Animations consist of the created artificial images. To interpret of the meaning from analyzing the style of main images is an important element in understanding of animations. Therefore, to analyze images expressed in works of Miyazaki-hayao, this study substitutes the concept of 'hybridity' for images of characters, backgrounds, and mechanics created by him and explores how they are expressed, how they produce symbolic meanings and functions. It is confirmed that main images in selected works as a scope of research have hybridity of images between 'past, present, and future', 'eastern elements and western elements', 'real and virtual', 'human beings and animal' in narrative. From these results, it is concluded that because of hybridity between images, he can present fresh pleasures to spectators, simultaneously communicate thoughtful messages above mere enjoyment, which is a differentiable point with works of other directors.

The projection mapping technique is used in various ways in almost every genre of performance arts at the moment. Thus, artist from various areas are participated in contents productions using it. The diversification of projection mapping contents gave producers a clue to try fresher visual effects and it was connected to the change of point of time using the camera working which was never used in old projection mapping contents productions. It is analyzed that the use of camera workings in the projection mapping image maximizes the visual Tactility and helps audiences concentrate on the contents. This study performed the theoretical research on the 'camera working' which is a new visual expression of the projection mapping and analyzed cases of projection mapping works applying them. It is to reconstruct the camera working which has been applied only by images of movies and suggest a guideline to create the optimized visual effect.

'42nd Broadway' is one of the most authentic, genuine and renowned musical pieces among the numerous musicals. By approaching every element in the Backstage from the perspective of an actor who is apart of the show, not a professional photographer, rather than an the usual objects on the Front Stage which is imprinted in the minds of the ordinary people through the media or the numerous flyers sent from the theaters, intented to describe the life as it is in the Back Stage by examining various elements such as the sets or make-up rooms, rather than the momentary, technically staged imageries. In the industrial aspect as well, the implication of this documentary would be that a more realistic set of photography was provided instead of the existing ones that usually focused on the'staged,' or 'guarded' images of the musical as shown in the promotional materials or the Front Stage still cuts.
