| In December 2019,the novel coronavirus broke out.The documentary,which uses real life as the material,records the Chinese society under the novel coronavirus epidemic in a panoramic way through the form of video.During this period,many excellent documentaries with the theme of anti-novel coronavirus epidemic were born,which showed distinctive characteristics of the times and practical significance,and had high historical data value and social research value.This article selects documentaries that record China’s anti-novel coronavirus epidemic stories and are publicly released in domestic media as the research object,and analyzes the triple space of spatial narrative of anti-novel coronavirus epidemic themed documentaries.First of all,in terms of the construction of physical space,the epidemic documentary focuses on the city’s landmark buildings,mobile transportation space and medical space.Through the real space,the anti-novel coronavirus epidemic documentary shows the physical environment in which people live,and tells how the physical space responds to the epidemic situation.Secondly,the documentary constructs an imaginary space for overcoming the epidemic and restoring life through symbolic means.Anti-epidemic documentaries show people’s anti-novel coronavirus epidemic psychology and needs during the epidemic through lens language,sound symbols,and poetic expressions.The emotional experience in such documentaries is attributed to the expectation of personal recovery,family reunion,and social return.It portrays the desire of society as a whole for victory in the war against the epidemic.It brings rich forms and content to the emotional expression of documentaries,giving viewers a full range of emotional experience and a broader space for thinking.Finally,the China’s anti-novel coronavirus epidemic documentary interprets the different spaces from two perspectives of visual construction and auditory expression,presenting the audio-visual landscape during the epidemic.The display of different spaces affirms the groups who have devoted themselves to the anti-epidemic process,builds the recognition of anti-epidemic behaviors and identity of anti-epidemic,and demonstrates the image power and era value of anti-epidemic documentaries.The China’s anti-novel coronavirus epidemic documentary conveys the value and purpose of spatial narrative through the construction of real space,imaginary space and difference space.The concern for protecting people’s lives,the sense of solidarity of watching and helping each other,and the scientific spirit of respecting the laws of medicine are important spiritual values expressed in Chinese anti-epidemic documentaries.At the same time,this kind of documentary also has the limitation of unity,and the expression of anti-epidemic space has a tendency to homogeneity.The neglect of rural space and the lack of awareness of the importance of knowledge space have become common shortcomings of China’s anti-novel coronavirus epidemic documentary. |
