Abstract

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.

이 논문에서는 시각적으로 명암이 인간의 정서에 영향을 미친다는 그레이브스의 명암이론을 적용하여 "라이온 킹" 에서 사용된 명암의 유형을 분석하고 작품 내에서 시각적으로 표현된 명암이 내러티브에서 전개되는 정서의 흐름과 어떠한 관계를 맺고 있는지에 대한 유형을 분석하였다. 이를 통하여 명암이 시각이미지에 끼치는 영향과 더불어 정서적인 분위기 표현에 중요한 요소로 작용한다는 점을 규명하고자 하였다. 애니메이션에서는 실사 영화와는 달리 내러티브상에서 전개되는 캐릭터들의 정서적 변화에 따른 이미지 연출이 더욱 강조 된다. 이는 관객들의 감정이입을 강화시키는 중요한 수단이 된다.
