드라마 <별에서 온 그대>의 이차 프레임 연구

A Study on Second Cadre in Drama <You Who Came from the Stars>

The purpose of this paper is to consider ‘Frame within a frame’ which has not been used much in Korean TV Dramas. So far, visual highlights for a specific subject and narrative, has been expressed mainly through the close-up shot, depth of field, angle, camera movement, fast transitions, and lighting techniques in Korean TV dramas. In SBS drama <You who came from the stars> which went off the air in February used Frame within a frame to highlight the particular scenes, instead of the conventional techniques mentioned above. Through the analysis of the key scenes, this study investigates how Frame within a frame technique is combined with the drama’s narrative. As a result, Frame within a frame has been utilized systematically and repeatedly within critical and intense scenes to enhance the context of this drama. Also, the dramatic scenes are visually highlighted and passed on to increase engagement of the viewers. The frame within a frame has been used as an emphasizing function, as well as a foreshadowing the dramatic events. These utilizations of frame within a frame can be the emergence of new techniques in Korean TV dramas.
