<꽃잎>에 나타난 영상미학과 각색의 원리 = Principle of Adaptation and Image Aesthetics in A Petal

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The aim of this paper is to observe the principle of adaptation and image aesthetics in A Petal. A Petal, adapted from a novel There Is Falling a Petal Silently by Choi Yoon, shows Jang Sun Woo’s interpretation of the original with unique pictures.
First, A Petal exposes the violence of dominant power with the montage of Gwangju Democracy Campaign scene and surrounding characters. Also the film satirizes the duplicity of intellectual characters with the picture that illustrates “we” who are enervated and weak. Second, Jang Sun Woo mixes the point of view of the characters in the original. He converts the first person narration into voice-over-narration and the third person narration into POV shot. However, the POV shot of “Jang” appears limitedly and the camera work focuses on the young girl with voyeuristic gaze. These techniques don’t express the mental states of “Jang.” Third, A Petal describes the inside of the young girl with animation technique and montage of the association of things. However, in animated sequences, the film loses the probability and persuasive power because the connection of the previous and the next scene is not harmonious. It means that Jang Sun Woo stitches various technique experiments and the popularity together hurriedly.
These aspects in A Petal show that it’s not easy work to adapt a novel for film. However, the sentimental criticism, which has been made until today of the film, does not analyze formal elements. This tendency has to be avoided because it is not an advance on productive discourse. We can discuss the result and limit of A Petal when we analyze image aesthetics and the principle of adaptation in the film.
