The Practice of Creative Content Based on Classical Literature: Focusing on Case Analysis of Assignments of Department of Media Storytelling

This article analyzes the assignments submitted by students in the Media Storytelling Department to the course and examines students' perceptions and applications of classical literature. The results of the analysis of students' assignments are as follows. First, there is no hesitation in borrowing, expanding, revising, or mash-up. There is a strong tendency to cut out some of the narratives necessary for the content without hesitation and insert them into the person-centered narrative he planned. Second, they show interest in the characteristics of the characters and the person's narrative. From a macroscopic point of view, they show the characteristic of paying more attention to small narratives centered on characters rather than dealing with the entire narrative of the classical literature. Third, we try a thematic approach to bring the social problems that are prevalent around us into their works. However, it is unfortunate that there are many cases where the planned medium is converted into web novels after feeling pressure to implement the content as a visual image. Students play two roles: learners of classical literature and creators who produce content at the same time. Classical literature dispels the preconceived notion that it is difficult and bizarre, and learns the characteristics of media and trans storytelling in the process of converting it back to various media, feeling the joy of reading classics from the realization that it is full of diverse and novel stories and characters. Instructors should encourage the diverse use of media, but guide students to recognize classical literature as valuable materials to obtain creative materials.
