This study examines characteristics of sports movies between Korea and the U.S. Especially, this paper focuses on three different characteristics including structural, internal characteristics and performance of sports movies. The major results are as follows: firstly, there were similarities between two countries in terms of opening year, genre, classification but movie subjects. More specifically, movie opening years were not related to global sports events. In addition, most sports movies were mainly produced by human genre and all age movie classification. However, in terms of sports subjects, although Korean movies were constructed by baseball game, the U.S. movies were based on football game. Secondly, there were also similarities between both sports movies in terms of external characteristics such as gender difference of hero or heroine, internal story structure and their story sources. Most of sports movies have used real stories as movie story. Finally, although many of the U.S. sports movies recorded the high degree of expenditures, three movies recorded the high degree of movie consumption.

People generally focus on the supply side when conducting a study on the movie industry. However, to understand the movie industry better, one needs to analyze both sides - the demand and supply of movies. This paper analyzes demand-side factors that have long been taken for granted in Korea's movie industry. The study used data for 1991~2008 on the following demand-factors : the average ticket prices, the number of working days and hours, the average personal income, the number of spectators for the two major professional sports, cable TV, the number of movies released each year and the number of movie screens. This study shows that ticket prices do not conform to the law of demand. According to the law of demand, increasing price leads to a decline in demand. However, in reality, the number of viewers went up along with ticket prices. The study found that demand for movies was correlated to income levels and leisure time. An increase in the number of leisure hours and income levels pushed up demand. Contrary to general belief, a growth in the availability of substitutes, such as professional sports(soccer and baseball), did not result in a fall in demand for movies. The audiences for both sports and movies grew simultaneously as the amount of leisure time increased. Contrary to the general expectations that more diversified genres of movies will draw larger audiences by satisfying different individual tastes, the diversification had little impact, but the number of movie screens was positively correlated with audience size. In sum, changes in ticket prices and the quantity of substitutes had little influence on demand in the movie industry. Rather, it was the supply side of the industry that induced demand.

This study was designed to analyze the social and institutional problems that may arise in the early 2000s of the United States and in the scholarship program for university student-athletes by analyzing Dialogues in the Film [The Blind Side] and to derive the meaning of this to Korean society and education field. In summary, the first is that there is a need for fundamental change in the thinking about gender discrimination and racist expressions expressed in everyday life including a Sport field not only in the United states but also in Korean society. Second, the Korea University Sports Federation(KUSF), like NCAA, is working on the right to study and human rights of university athletes, but in the commercialism of modern sports related to the capitalism, these systems and regulations could be a bigger obstacle to the process of growing young players. And finally, like the case of "Flower-loving Ferdinand" who having a lot in common with the main character, Michael in the Film, I hope that there will be a "Sports Ferdinand" that likes the sport itself, which is fully satisfied with its life and lives happily even if it is not a sports star.

(1986) and (1987) represent the society of 1980s in which the professional baseball game was initiated to cover the irrational military culture. The love and marriage of sports players were the headlines of the media, and the yearly salary of the players was the hottest issue of conversation. The military culture is represented in the scenes where the coaches train the failures and inapt players in extreme drills. The films pinpoint the absurdity of military culture and win-at-all-costs mentality. The collapse of the dictatorial leadership at the end of the films is a metaphor for the collapse of the fifth Republic of Korea. The episodes where the players talk about contract money, and the trade of players and sports business were a new phenomenon of the 1980's. The fact that Oh Hyesung of chooses love instead of victory deals a big blow to the secular ambition for money, victory and dictatorial leadership. His option provides catharsis for an audience oppressed under military leadership and success driven ideology. On the other hand, Oh Hyesung of dies right at the moment of winning the world champion. He achieves neither love nor success. While Oh Hyesung of is a symbol of pure love and gives spiritual comfort to the audience, Oh Hyesung of gives a sense of hopelessness to the audience. Both of the two sports films reflect the representation of the 1980's but received opposing reviews from audiences.

On the 855 pure Korean commercial fictional movies, excluding diversity films, released in Korea from 2004 to August 2017, I conducted deciles distribution analysis of box office performance of those movies and average box office performance of directors, producers and lead actors who involved in making them. Deciles distribution analysis of average box office performance might be helpful to predict their next box office performance of newly produced Korean movies and to evaluate their contribution to box office performance. In baseball, the various index such as winning rate, on-base percentage, slugging percentage, stolen base percentage, battling average, earned run average is used for predicting and reviewing of professional players. In this study, I evaluate the script's narrative quality by the indirect method of insight and judgment of creative manpower involved in making the movies. For the more productive prediction, direct statistical analysis method on the narrative of the script needs to develop. Time series analysis is required to evaluate the rise and fall of creative manpower and network analysis is also necessary to see the interaction among creative people.

현재 상용화 되고 있는 DMB에서는 176$^*$144의 작은 영상 사이즈를 표준으로 서비스하고 있다. 뿐만 아니라 서비스 되고 있는 콘텐츠들은 주로 움직임이 많은 영화나 스포츠 그리고 드라마 등이 주류를 이루고 있다. 따라서 시간적 압축 방식을 사용하는 움직임 예측 모듈이 더욱더 중요한 위치를 차지하게 됐으며 기존의 영상 표준안과 다르게 4$^*$4와 같은 작은 블록 사이즈가 중요한 정보를 갖게 되었다. 본 논문은 DMB에서 서비스 하는 여러 가지 영화나 스포츠를 대상으로 실험한 결과 4$^*$4와 같은 작은 사이즈의 블록이 움직임 예측시 많이 나타날 뿐 아니라 중요한 정보들로 이루어져 있다는 결과를 얻었으며 이를 토대로 좀 더 정확한 움직임 예측을 수행하기 위하여 가변 탐색범위를 제안하였다. 제안된 방법은 C언어를 통하여 검증하였으며 그 결과 고정의 탐색범위를 적용한 것보다 좋은 효율을 얻었다. 그리고 이를 다시 하드웨어 언어인 VHDL로 구현하였다.

가상현실(VR)은 현실 세계를 인공적인 기술을 활용하여 실제로 얻기 힘든 경험이나 환경 등을 제공해 인체의 오감(시각, 청각, 후각, 미각, 촉각)을 자극함으로써 실제와 같이 체험하게 하는 기술로써 게임, 영화, 스포츠, 테마파크와 같이 엔터테인먼트 목적으로 개발되는 경우가 많다. 본 논문에서는 Oculus Touch 및 Oculus Rift를 이용한 VR(Virtual Reality) 올림픽 종목의 스포츠를 설계하고 구현한 시스템을 제안한다. 올림픽 종목 중에 인기종목인 양궁, 사격, 테니스, 탁구 총 4가지 종목으로 구성되어 있으며, 특히 AI를 이용한 경쟁을 통해 종목별 스코어(점수)를 평가함으로서 경쟁구도를 형성한다. 또한, 시각적인 자극을 통해 흥미를 이끌어내고 현실적인 환경을 구현함으로써 유저가 실제 현장에 있는 것 같은 느낌을 제공하며, 세계적인 올림픽 스포츠를 유저들이 직접 즐기고 느낄 수 있다.

영화 <자전차왕 엄복동>은 평범한 인물 엄복동(정지훈 분)이 자전차(자전거) 한 대로 조선의 희망이 된 이야기를 그린다. 우연한 기회를 통해 자전거를 접한 엄복동은 타고난 재능과 끝없는 노력으로 각종 대회에서 우승을 휩쓴다. 그러나 엄복동처럼 고강도 훈련을 지속하다보면 건강에 해를 끼칠 수 있다. 특히 운동 후 근육통이 오래 지속되거나 소변색이 짙어질 경우 '횡문근융해증'을 의심해봐야 한다.
