| Positive psychology is an emerging discipline established at the end of the 20 th century and beginning of the 21 st century,represented by Martin Seligman and Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi.It focuses its research on the positive factors of human beings themselves,advocating that psychology should take the actual potential and constructive strengths,virtues and goodness inherent in human beings as the starting point,and advocating a positive mindset toward various psychological phenomena that occur in human beings.To stimulate the positive spiritual power and good qualities inherent in human beings,to learn to deal with the world with an optimistic attitude,and to reap the benefits of happiness.Over the past two decades,the theory of positive psychology has been widely used in medicine,art,sociology,education,management,sports and other disciplines.The public service documentary focuses on the public service business with people as the core,aiming to convey the public service concept of compassion and enthusiasm to the public,to summon the goodwill of human nature,and to devote to seeking a prosperous path based on civilization and harmony for the society.In order to achieve a good public service communication effect,public service documentaries should focus on the portrayal and shaping of characters so that audiences can naturally perceive the power of public service and the charisma of the characters.The research of positive psychology has an important role to play in the analysis of character image in public service documentaries.From the three major research elements of positive psychology,namely,positive social organization system at the group level,positive personality traits at the individual level,and positive emotional experience at the subjective level,we study the role of narrative content,narrative style,and narrative language on the composition of character image in public service documentaries.The theories of positive psychology,such as the multidimensional model theory and the topology-construction theory,are used to guide the creation of public service documentary characters and provide new ideas and perspectives for the creation of public service documentary images.Through the thesis,we can have a certain knowledge and understanding of positive psychology and the construction of character image in public service documentaries,and at the same time,we can construct a clearer image framework for public service documentaries through the guidance and analysis of positive psychology theory on the creation practice of our personal public service documentary "Your Name is Bright",so that we can draw more valuable experience from practice and play a certain role in the creation of public service images.This is a positive contribution to the creation of public service videos. |
