The Study On The Esthetic Characteristic Of Movie Art

The Study on the Esthetic Characteristic of Movie Art is a research with practical significance. An essential understanding of the movie itself and the form of movie art has not been achieved in academic circles no matter from the theoretical study and the present situation of movie. The creative practice of movie art is getting revised between the disputes of art movie with"author-oriented"and of commercial movie with"mass-oriented". Different views on movies bring different practice and result, and any deviation will possibly create a dislocation between the relationship of the movie and the audience, consequently, the movie will unintentionally alienate from the mass. As a result, a re-understanding of the esthetic characteristic of movie art must be carried on to fully reveal the essential characteristics of the movie in order to keep its art nature and entertainment function, as well as realize its modern culture value to a maximum degree.This thesis, based on the movie itself, explores and analyzes the artistic characteristic of movie. The images of the movie medium enjoy dual characteristics of"the factual recording of reality"and"the esthetic reality", and are the result of esthetic creation to the realistic physical ones. The images of two-dimensional surface have hint functions of spatial transformation and time alternation; in turn, they create three-dimensional effect with two-dimensional surface and transform into continuous visual mirages in four-dimensional space, and finally form illusion of both space and time. Being artistic mark, movie images have the characteristics of directly expressing meaning, combining the concrete and abstract way of expressions with direct and implicative ones.This thesis, by comparing movie with other artistic styles, tries to seek the special characteristics of movie art. As a comprehensive art, the main artistic characteristics of movie are the composition and extroversion of time and space on the screen, the reality of factual recordings and the imaginary presentation, as well as the application of real description of fiction, the true performance, the embodiment, the direct presentation of the images and so on. All these characteristics make the esthetic acceptance of movie art get the nature of passivity, temporariness, comprehensiveness and mobility.Movie is a modern art based on material machinery and influenced by technical mechanism, so technical factor plays an extremely vital role in producing the esthetic sense of a movie. The close-ups and editing technology have important function of presenting meaning, which can magnify in a special way the scenes from the background of daily life, turn the physical objects into phenomenon so as to transform the world into phenomenon and produce rich esthetic connotation. By adjusting the camera location and the shooting angle, the scenes arrangements embody the reality meaning, enabling the pictures having symbolic significance and the esthetic connotation. By the specific ways of simplification and specialization and so on, the scenes arrangements can also produce performance models, prominent spatial symbolic significance, enrich the intrinsic charm of the pictures. In the movie work, the light technology is not only a narrating tool, but also the producer of feeling and atmosphere. The light, through its unique symbolic and connotative function, enables the images display certain implications and thought, and the pictures philosophic with extra meaning. The utilization of sound skill can further develop audience's imagination, for by contrasting the pictures to the simultaneous or un-simultaneous sound, the profound meaning which the pictures don't contain can be presented, so as to create a metaphor and symbolic art effect. The digital technology used during the making of movie can replace the actors and actresses in front of the lens, for it can create a fictional reality that doesn't have real origin but enjoys a true visual presentation. This"ultra-reality esthetic"on vision dispels the boundary between the reality and the movie and makes the world drew back from the object to the object images.At last, this thesis discusses the esthetic cultural significance of movie. Because of its socialization and technological characteristic, movie becomes the most popular art to the mass among all the artistic forms. Taking the daily life of the ordinary citizens in the modern city as the main narration object, movie has become an artistic carrier of the mass's active dialog with their everyday life. The movie diligently caters to the demand of the mass's emotion. It not only follows conventional narration which adapts to the audiences'acceptance, but also touches the sensitive area of the social psychology, seeking to keep a balance with the common people's emotional despondence. The abstract mark and visional form of language in the movie art has formed simplified esthetic images and made the image language popularity. The recreation of movie essentially is a comprehensive appreciation of various kinds of pleasures with sublimated esthetic. The recreational element brings the audience more visional feeling and experience but less rational thinking. The movie creates a new way for people to recognize and experience world, at the same time, it is joyful and an ideal way to relieve bad emotion, for it regards a person as a complete existing identity. The entertainment of movie art makes the audience diverge their attention from ideology and removes populace's politic enthusiasm. The ceremonial nature of movie art urges the individuals to break the narrow life experience and come to a public place to experience a collective mood in a collective appreciation activity, thus an individual obtains an intense feeling of belonging and enters a kind of mild revelry condition. The esthetic education function of movie art mainly lies in carrying on the esthetic education through direct-viewing image forms and promoting the perfection of individual intuition experience ability by original way.
