Breakthrough Around The Corner

The combination between TV and movie is attracting more and more people's attention in the course of social progress and media's individual development.A new art form derived from this kind of combination ---TV Movie is with a clearer face showing itself in front of us.TV movie has been developing for more than 40 years in America and has shaped its unique artistic characteristics accommodated with America's situation and its surroundings of TV industry. In China,TV movie was brought into being in the background of "Channel Specialization" and with the development of Movie Channel----CCTV6. Although there are a lot of resemblance about background and development ,TV movie only began to exist in China in 1999,and compared with America's decades history,China TV movie only has 7 years. In the 7 years full of exploring and bottleneck of progress,the marriage between TV and movie has had a history of 7 years,they become strategical copartners from prevevient foes. What is the present status of their combination---TV movie?Will it be developing well?In most people's opinion,TV movie is not destined with an independant orientation which is different from normal cinema movies because it is always existing in the crack between TV and movie.That is why we can not make research in many relative fields and why TV movie can not make itself inimitable before audiences.The birth of TV movie is not a result contrived,it shows the new situation that media combines together in modern society.Meanwhile,it also brings TV industry with plentiful profits and rewards,rescues movie from onefold cinema mold.But China TV movie is not always prosperous as America's.Its old form of telling story,dense thematic atmosphere resulting from one-folded subject,lack of TV media character,disjointing between form and content,lag or lack of high technologies... all of above problems are blocking China TV movie's development.These problems make the unbalance between quantity and quality ,hold back marketing operation out of TV movie creation.We can not deny the happiness and comfort that the combination of TV and movie brought us during the 7 years,nor can we ignore the current problems that if this combination should be fostering further or not. We must give out TV movie's exact definition beofre we can study it.Therefor,we need to conclude current definition of TV movie in the course of discussion starting with the opinions we have at present.Meanwhile,we must take it into account that new technologies are changing TV movie's expressing form and developing space that could be extented wide, such as transformation between film and tape,DV...Below thesis faces the present balelism in the field of recognising TV movie,starts with the discussing about definition,indicates the significance of TV movie's existance in the course of looking back American TV movie's development and acruality,emphasizes the effects China TV movie brought out from 1999,analyzes current tanglesome problems and the main reasons,finally brings forward constructive breakthrough methods strating off from media's self developing trend and features.In the time of TV and movie's combination after 7 years,I wish this thesis could play some role in the way China TV movie orienting itself into more promising future.
