STORYTELLING AUTHORING TOOL WITH SUPPORTING TEMPLATE, METHOD AND COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIUM FOR RECORDING THEREOF}

The present invention relates to a story authoring tool, and more particularly, to a story authoring tool and an authoring method based on a format capable of authoring and editing a movie, drama, and animation scenario, and a storage medium recording the same. .

In general, digital storytelling refers to creative technology that uses digital technology as a media environment or expressive means throughout the recent cultural industries such as movies, animations, games, and dramas. It is widely highlighted as a technology that can improve workability. In addition, by facilitating the interaction between creators and audiences, and bringing about genre integration between story formats, storytelling in various new fields such as education, advertising, marketing, tourism, etc. in addition to the existing cultural industry fields is actively being created and utilized. to be.

In case of foreign countries, we have abundant human resources in this field of storytelling, we have a variety of industrial infrastructure that supports storytelling such as specialized creative education institutions and copyright protection, and we have already recognized the importance of digital storytelling technology development. Telling-related products have been developed in various ways, from the desktop version to the collaborative web version, and are being actively used in actual work production. For example, in the case of movies, almost all content producers in the US use digitized scenarios, and dozens of specialized storytelling software, including Dramatica Pro, Final Draft, Power Structure, and Movie Magic, are used to create scenarios. have.

That is, the conventional foreign authoring tool has the following characteristics.

(1) Thought Office: It is a program that can complete the story by selecting a DB according to the desired field and filling the answers to the questions.

(2) Dramatica Pro: This program supports the entire story, characters, and plots to maintain a consistent flow based on the play theory based on Dynamic Pair.

(3) Tuby's Blockbuster: It is a program that allows to construct a systematic story through Q & A about the elements that make up the story such as people and background.

(4) Power Structure: It is a program to help construct the story by drawing the story concept, character, sequence and chapter creation, plot setting, etc.

(5) Final Draft: This is a writer's word program that can complete a script in a simple way using existing formats.

On the other hand, domestic creative conditions are so poor that the market cannot be secured to the extent that the artist can be established as an independent professional occupation, and there is a considerable lack of industrial infrastructure that can support storytelling, and elemental technology for digital storytelling. Or there is a problem that the development of specialized dedicated tools is also very sluggish. In addition, the conventional foreign authoring tool as described above is not suitable for the Korean creative environment, so it is difficult to use it as it is, and the point of application of digital storytelling between major media (TV dramas, movies, games, animations, etc.) is different, and standardization There is a problem that it is difficult to find a point. Therefore, it is urgently required to develop a digital storytelling authoring tool suitable for Korea, which can provide domestic creative materials or support each stage of creation.

However, there are the following constraints and considerations in developing a digital storytelling authoring tool suitable for Korea.

First, requirements analysis of genre and format supported story authoring

Although Korea's own digital technologies such as graphic technology, database, and web are excellent in their own development, so-called 'requirement specifications' reflecting the genre characteristics should be clear when these technologies are used in specific genres of cultural contents. . Therefore, in order to become a realistic product considering professional writers and preliminary writers before applying existing foreign technologies, it is necessary to analyze all the elements of storytelling of a specific genre and to derive detailed requirement specifications suitable for Korea's characteristics.

Second, establish joint research infrastructure of related academic and professional companies

The development of storytelling-related technology requires efforts and constant cooperation to overcome the difficulties of communication between humanists and engineers, which must be a prerequisite for mutual understanding in this heterogeneous field. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a joint research infrastructure of humanities and engineering, in which academia and industry converge together to exert synergies.

Third, thorough analysis of conventional advanced story authoring tools

The storytelling authoring tool mainly used in foreign countries is not suitable for the Korean creative environment, so there is a problem to apply it as it is, and it solves the problems of conventional foreign storytelling authoring tools such as Dramatica Pro, Final Draft, Power Structure, Movie Magic, etc. It is required to develop a Korean creative writing tool that is suitable for the creative environment of Korea and can be usefully used in the actual field.

Fourth, it is necessary to enhance convenience of core users

Indeed, the composition of the authoring tools required by novice and professional writers may differ. Professional writers need to concentrate on supporting the convenience of writing documents so that the authors can decide the genre they want and author. It is useful to classify each element in detail and to provide various DBs on existing works, figures, and terms. Therefore, the development of technology related to authoring should be carried out in a phased and systematic plan according to the core users and development goals of digital storytelling authoring software.

Fifth, considering the creation of creative DB by genre characteristics

It is necessary to derive core demand technologies for each area based on actual industrial demands and to systematically build a creative database. Authoring tools can be effectively put into practical use at the creative stage of creating and systematically developing stories in all content industries such as games, dramas, musicals, advertisements, movies, and animations. .

Sixth, protect the rights of creators, such as copyright
