Su-Kyung Hong, and Min-Kyung Kim
ABSTRACT
The present study was conducted on two groups, a group majoring in beauty and the other group not majoring in beauty, to compare and analyze the effect of recognition of make-up and horror make-up on emotional perception and thus investigate its applicability to characters in visual media. As the result, the level of recognition response for make-up was analyzed as improvement of image and interest and the level of recognition response for horror make-up was divided into five factors. The level of emotional perception was analyzed as two factors (psychological, physical), indicating that the make-up recognition factor (psychology, interest) had an influence on emotional perception. In the group majoring in beauty, the recognition factor of horror make-up had an influence on emotional perception, while it did not in the group not majoring in beauty. This result showed that the group majoring in beauty had more detailed and deeper understanding of horror character through the knowledge on make-up compared to the group not majoring in beauty. As such, this study is believed to be helpful to the development of the character research for horror make-up. In addition, it will be used as the objective and in-depth analysis data for characters.
