| Traditional arts are generally divided into two categories: one is the space of art,such as art, architecture, dance; one is time of art, such as music, theater, literature.While, the film is the synthesis of time and space art. Felix Engels said:“The basicform of all the existence is the presence of space and time. Beyond the existence oftime and space is equally absurd." Cinematic art in its own develop process, has avariety of various forms of structure and space. And one of the main tasks is howthe film artists skillfully use them into film narrative structure. Development oftraditional narrative in linear time is a typical structure type. There is a clear narrativethread and clues to a series of interrelated events in a linear arrangement ofinterlocking, leading to a dramatic finale. And with the content and theme of themovie even much richer, narrative film technique has also been increasingly diverseby constantly exploring and trying. Modern movie theater out of the framework of theold structure, and use the film with the thinking method of the non-linear clips to doall sorts of bold attempt, which requires editors, in the creation process of the film, tohave a careful design about space-time structure according to creative intention andartistic conception of the director. Draw up the corresponding editing ideas, establishthe most appropriate structure and space-time, finish exactly the film narrative, andthus realize the director’s artistic conception to bring a new type of space-timestructure. This paper makes a systematic thinking about movie clips, movie time andspace, the narrative structure and creation methods of space and time. And it tries toexplain the important role of space-time structure of the film to movie clipsreconstruction. Then it summarizes six non-traditional ways of modern space-timestructure of modern movies, and thus forms modern film art with a variety ofstructures coexisting. |
