Over the past 70 years, movies and television have revolutionized the way people communicate. However, even with this development, TV has been used only as a means of communication targeting an unspecified number of people due to the restriction of media such as radio waves and movies. However, the development of the Internet and online video has come to a time when 100 million people watch YouTube videos uploaded from the other side of the world by eliminating these restrictions. The message that you want to deliver now can be delivered to anyone, but making the image with these messages remains the last obstacle to communication. To solve these problems, we implemented a web application and a video production program through AWS. This system basically provides the administrator with the video production through the easy interface, the information management and the program on the server on the internet through AWS, the assigned lecture including the computer and the smart phone, the learning materials, And implemented to increase the efficiency of educational video production service.

Currently, we stand between computers as creative tools and computers as creators. A new genre of movies, which can be called a post-cinema situation, is emerging. This paper aims to diagnose the possibility of the emergence of AI cinema. To confirm the possibility of AI cinema, it was examined through a case study whether the creation of a story, narrative, image, and sound, which are necessary conditions for film creation, is possible by artificial intelligence. First, we checked the visual creation of AI painting algorithms Obvious, GAN, and CAN. Second, AI music has already entered the distribution stage in the market in cooperation with humans. Third, AI can already complete drama scripts, and automatic scenario creation programs using big data are also gaining popularity. That said, we confirmed that the filmmaking requirements could be met with AI algorithms. From the perspective of Manovich's 'AI Genre Convention', web documentaries and desktop documentaries, typical trends post-cinema, can be said to be representative genres that can be expected as AI cinemas. The conditions for AI, web documentaries and desktop documentaries to exist are the same. This article suggests a new path for the media of the 4th Industrial Revolution era through research on AI as a creator of post-cinema.

Film sound should be analyzed based upon the profound understanding of sound design process and the principle behind it. Lack of this knowledge prevents the research from having the comprehensiveness and concreteness. This study aims to reaffirm the important role of sound design in filmmaking while also investigating the narrative functions of sound design. The role of sound design as a cinematic technique was defined as creating audio-visual experience with a collection of information, emotion, and ideas organized and presented in the sound narrative of films. Each process of sound design, dialog, ambience, Foley, and sound effects, was proved to be performing this role as a result of a case study of various narrative films. The narrative functions of sound design was able to be defined as well.

There is a world of unconscious that works when creating story contents. The unconscious layer of the abyss has the artist goes on the path of creating a common story structure without knowing because the human race is connected. It is monomyth and is now used as an important authoring tool. Analyzing the structure of the silent film "A trip to the Moon" made before the discovery of it, we can still find the frame of monomyth. Although this film is an intuitive imagination of the inspiration received from four contemporary works, the monomyth has been completely revealed.. This means it's still working regardless of area or time. That's why the story that was created in a modern short time has the same structure as the myth that passed down for a long time because there is archetype of story in human collective unconscious. This archetype determines the way the story. The human brain is not infinitely free to imagine but that it can be applied to the surface along the path of the archetype. Good story contents is less likely to succeed if it does not follow the path proposed by the archetype within our collective unconscious.

Animation, presenting laughing, tears and inspiration to the audience, can be classified into several genres according to the structure of scenario and storytelling in the same ways as for movie. This classification of scenario genre and scenario writing is based on the writing for a play. Scenario writing and genre classification that were discussed mainly in the movie theory books has been applied to the animation in spite of the difference of the production technique and storylines. Animation finds its academic values as a movie art due to its frame-by-frame filming technique and the diversity in the production. Since the number of scenario writers for animation is much smaller than that of movie in Korea, it is needed to set an academic basis for the classification of genre and scenario writing. In this study, academic basis for the classification of the genre by the analyzing the animation works.

In this paper, we describe a case study of the film 'Sector 7' which was produced by technologies applied fluid simulation. For the CG scenes in the movie which include highly detailed fluid motions, we used smoothed particle hydrodynamics(SPH) technique to express subtle movements of seawater from a crashed huge tank, and used hybrid simulation method of particles and levelsets to describe bursting water from a submarine's broken canopy. We also used detonation shock dynamics(DSD) technique for detailed flame simulations to produce a burning monster, the film"s main character. At this point, the divergence-free vortex particle method was applied to conserve the incompressible property of fluids. In addition, we used an upsampling method to achieve more efficient video production. Consequently, we could produce the high-quality visual effects by using the domestic technologies.

Jinling University during the Republic of China (1912-1949) is the most representative academic institution in film education and filmscience, film production, film distribution and many other aspects. Although Jinling University had not yet formed an independent animation discipline, the opening of its animation curriculum, theoretical research, and the practice and production of animation have played an important historical role in the development of Chinese animation and are the beginning of China's animation education. This study investigates Jinling University comprehensively and systematically reviews the forms of animation education. At the same time, macroscopical education and microcosmic education concepts are used to analyze the social context of the Republic of China of discipline construction and external education concept at that time. It sketches the historical clues of the development of animation education in Jinling University in the Republic of China, and lays the foundation for further studying animation education in the Republic of China in theory.

After a few recent documentary films had commercial success, factors for their success are getting attention. This paper explores the factors of the financial success of two documentary films. "My Love, Don't Cross That River" gained extended popularity with its universal message, and "Two Doors" conveyed a poweful political message. This paper conducted a case study by inteviewing production directors and distribution managers. Analysis was based on the three categories suggested by Litman and Kohl(1989): creative sphere, distribution-scheduling release pattern, and marketing efforts. Findings present the common factors of the two movies' success in the following areas: persons and events showing a powerful reality, a message with new and fresh insight, artistic quality, distribution strategy with timely scheduling, release time (period), public relations, and advertising.. In addition, "My Love, Don't Cross That River" was helped by a sufficient budget for scheduling/releasing and advertising. Its wide-release stratergy worked as well. "Two Doors" was aided by the government support for release and by the special factor called 'Participating viewer'. By examining the factors of documentary films' commercial success, this study has an implication for the popularization of documentary movies by indicating how to strategically apply relevant factors.

This paper intends to examine how North Korea has incited and persuaded its people by figuring out the structure regarding the meaning creation of its documentary film "Kim Jong-un, the Respected Comrade Supreme Commander, Giving On-site Guidance on the Grand Project of the People's Army" produced in 2015, which was North Korea's politically important year. The analysis results show that its narrative structure of the film took the form of an introduction, body, and conclusion to substantiate it obviously given theme. Its imaging techniques are geared towards uplifting the public's combat mentality and its sound contributes to achieving their adherence. In this regard, its film literature has the following meaning structure: first, the film takes the form of both film annals and the structure for the public to easily comprehend; second, the film clearly demonstrates its deep-rooted theme asking for the public to follow in the footsteps of the party's late father for its leadership; and third, the film also aims to establish the images of an always awake working leader by implanting and arranging the leader's diligence about his revolutionary activities in the documentary film. North Korea's documentary films serve as a weapon used for instigating revolution and construction. Given this, the producers of all documentary films have made sure to turn film literatures into the film literatures of the great leader. It was identified that under the social vision that the Kim Jong-un regime is a "socialist civilized country", he has tightened his grip on power in North Korea through the propaganda tool of film literatures.

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.
