Abstract
This study aims to examine the storytelling method in which the two characteristics of the 'maturity' plot of the story are properly mixed together with the method of the time transcendence motif shown in the Japanese film <It’s a Summer Film!>. In <It’s a Summer Film!>, while transforming the existing motive in the process of using the time machine and the experience of the protagonist boy's 'time transcendence', the storytelling method applied the 'maturity' plot grammar to learn about the 'non-mainstream' in society. It conveys a critical mind and a thematic consciousness that the past, present, and future are connected to each other. The motivation for time transcendence through a time machine in many films based on time travel so far stems from the desire to change the wrong reality through time travel. But in this movie, it's different. In a future world where the length of the video is 5 seconds, the boy's pure heart works as a motivation when he can't find the debut film of the master director 'Barefoot'. In particular, this boy is playing the role of the main character, but the actual protagonist in this film is 'Barefoot', a 'girl' who loves the 'Samurai' genre living in the present. This is because this film puts more weight on the growth of 'girls' than the growth of boys who experience time transcendence. In view of the fact that more and more films are being produced faithfully to the conventions of the genre for the stability of popular box office success and success, the method approached in this film conveys the intention and theme of the creator rather than following only the existing motive conventionally. It shows that the storytelling potential of a work can be expanded when transformation is pursued in an effective way to do so.
