Immersion is the key factor in determining success or failure for fictional narrative animations. It does matter to not only for the socio-economic achievements like box-office success but to the asthetical achievement, immersion is very important prerequisite character that are raised in terms of research needs. Fictional narrative animation shares the audience's immersive method with the narrative content and Virtual Reality, since animation has the character which narrates itself with the visual image format (including sound) and added the fact that 3D format which emphasizes realism compared with the recent 2D animation has been ubiquitous phenomenon. In other words, the artistic for called 'animation' is located between the view point that text has the immersive point intrinsic and oppositely, specific function of the certain media which stays extrinsic of the text enforce the participants into the immersion. In any case, the subject who experience immersion is the audience, so the most useful theory to research the phenomenon 'immersion' is Constructivism cognitive narrotologic approach which lies the peader-spectator as the centric notion and is more useful than text analysis or research on the visual effects. In this study, research and review about the studies on the audience's immersive experience would be preceded particularly aroud the constructivism theories, and examine the uniqueness and naures of the animation which makes the audience immersive.

게임은 데카르트적 좌표(Cartesian coordinates)의 전통을 뒤흔들고 육체와 정신, 이성과 감성, 실재와 가상을 가로지르면서 진화하고 있다. 수많은 철학적 담론을 야기하는 사유의 대상이 되고 있는 게임은 "미학적 기술(Aesthetic Technology)의 철학화(Philosophizing)"로 새롭게 정의될 수 있다. 게임의 메타포적 특성은 철학화하는 게임을 규정하는 중요한 면이다. 메타포(Metaphor)는 '개념의 매핑'(Mapping of the Concept)이며, 분리된 정신과 육체, 내용들을 연결하는 게임 역시 개념의 매핑으로 메타포가 된다. 게임의 메타포적 특성은 몰입(Immersive)과 연결되며 게임 기술의 발달로 개념의 매핑은 '개념의 몰핑'(Morphing of the Concept)으로 나아간다. 게임과 서사 사이의 갈등 또한 철학화 하는 게임의 까다로움을 드러내는 것이다. 게임학(Ludology)과 서사학(Narratology)의 이론적 논쟁에도 불구하고, 게임의 서사와 문학의 서사 사이에는 분명한 존재론적 차이가 있다. 우리는 게임에서 단지 사물이 움직이는 것을 보는 것이 아니라, 우리는 '우리 자체가(우리 스스로가) 움직이기 때문에 움직이는 것들을 보는 것'이기 때문이다. 그러므로 게임의 앵글(보는 방식)은 의미와 행위자가 아니라 '사용과 사용자(Use and User)'로 이동되어야 하며, 이때 서사는 '규칙의 해석(Interpretation)' 과정에서 생기는 잉여물(Surplus)이 된다. 게임은 수적으로 재현되며, 수적 재현을 통해 만들어지는 생산물(Product)은 서사가 아니라 알고리즘(Algorithm)이라는 숨은 규칙을 지닌 데이터베이스(Database)이다.

This study has researched that tempo is an element influencing the fun of narrative webtoon. In spite of many elements that could create fun in narrative webtoon, the theory this study pays attention to is the accumulation and solution of tension. Lee Hyun-bee said in his book that the accumulation and solution of tension would be the element creating fun. Tensions of a story create the immersion by bringing readers into the story. However, if such tensions are maintained throughout the whole story, readers get insensitive to tensions, so that the accumulation and solution of tension should be used in turn to maintain the immersion. One of the directions creating the accumulation and solution of tension in narrative webtoon is the direction of tempo. When creating a narrative webtoon with the full-length structure, it is not easy to describe the whole incident from beginning to the end of it in order of time. Therefore, it is inevitable to have differences between story time and narrative time, and the difference of this time is called 'tempo'. This tempo creates fun when readers are immersed in the work, by adjusting breaths of the story in the direction of narrative webtoon. Such a role of tempo direction is based on the relation between the occurrence of tempo direction and information of the story. The information actually leading the story creates the accumulation and relief of tension which is the essential element of fun formation while tempo also maximizes the effects of accumulation and relief of tension. Tempo direction in narrative webtoons uses panels and gaps between them. The scene direction using panels and gaps between them considers tempo and dynamics because of the temporality of panels and gaps between them. This paper analyzes the use of tempo direction for narrative webtoon through the analysis on the 1st episode of . The significance of this study is to reveal that tempo direction is one of the factors creating fun in narrative webtoons, and also to suggest the theoretical grounds for researches on direction creating fun in the future.

VR movies form a relationship with the audience in completely different ways from general movies with their screen. In VR movies, the audience becomes the camera and also the subject of the camera viewpoint, which raises a need for a frame theory unique to VR movies to examine the first person viewpoint and replace the edition of frames to deliver a narrative. In VR movies, the frames delivering a narrative are not revealed and perform the symbolic narrative function, thus being called "implicit frames." The study discussed their related theoretical backgrounds including Russian Ark made in the one shot, one cut method by Alexander Sokurov, off-screen elements, and the Fourth Wall. In VR movies, the audience gets immersed in the narrative based on their paradoxical dilemma, which means that they exist in reality but are absent on screen at the same time, and experiences hyper-reality. In VR movies, space has a couple of attributes including the blocking of eyeline to move it and telepresence to tie up presence between reality and virtuality.

The purpose of this study is to define Juan Mayorga's play Hamelin as a Post-Epic Theatre and to study the practical directing technique for Hamelin as a Post-Epic Theatre. Post-Epic Theatre, which appeared after the Post-drama, has the purpose of presenting social issues, communicating interactively between the actors and the audience, and making the audience think about the issues presented by the techniques of immersion and alienation. To this end, after examining the theoretical background of the Post-Epic Theatre, the characteristics of the Post-Epic Theatre of Hamelin were identified and based on these features, '1. Building a visual image based on a Cubistic multifocal concept' and '2. The concept of directing was derived from reinforcing Meta-drama through role-playing'. Next, the actual directing technique was discussed, focusing on the chain action of immersion and alienation that occurs in the form of communication between actors and audiences. '1. Presenting the characteristics of the work through Post-Epic Theatre scenography', '2. Co-existence of actors and characters', '3. Building and utilizing body-centered gestus' are them. As a result, demanding an active attitude from the audience, various experiences such as critical thinking of the audience, strengthening the characteristics of post-epic dramas, and active meaning creation were made possible.

Advances in technology are enhancing the player's visual satisfaction in games. Reflexively, narrative satisfaction has not been highlighted. This led to a player's critical view of the absence of original games. Especially in gameplay, quests require repeat and similar content and imperative tasks. It is overlooked that a quest can cause players to produce various meanings and effects. The concept of editing ability to reorganize the designed rules of the player beyond the performance and behavioral rules is conceptualized, and the four types of players that operate the characteristics can see that the player can intensify game play and immerse himself in play saw.
