배재민 Bae Jae-min , 임경호 Lim Kyung-ho
abstract
With diversification of media, the modern society is under dominant influence of visual media. There is needlessly large volume of information presented by overflowing videos to users, and producers are looking for more effective methods of visual expression. Among such methods, illusion is an important visual element used in photographs and graphics, and it is actively used in videos to create visual tension. Accordingly, the aim of this study is to analyze how illusion is used in implicative opening titles of films and its meaning. Representative opening titles that used illusion since 1900s until present are selected and analyzed to discuss the relationship between delivery of visual information and use of illusion effect. A conclusion was drawn in this study that illusions used in opening titles of films sufficiently include the meaning intended to be delivered to users in terms of communication. With diverse use of illusion characteristics, they were found to be used as an extremely important element of opening titles, which implicatively express contents of films. This is because screen compositions using illusion play the role of delivering messages intended by producers to users instead of simply placing importance on beauty. A follow-up study is required to analyze illusions used in different visual media other than opening titles, satisfying the timely demand.
