Fiction And Film Arts Symbolic Expression Analyzed

Fiction, which uses written words as an express medium, is dramatically different compare to media, which applies visual and aural intermediary as spreading information tools. Imagination and abstraction have been regarded as the main feature of words-expressing message while the visual message is comparatively more direct. In the present world where cultural consumption becomes the main stream, visual symbol is being increasingly important for modern society comparing to character, and thus turns into the leader of message transmission areas. This advantage of visual and aural media gradually forces words-carried fictions transforming to the instrument of film and television. However, fictions would not be totally replaced by the media even under the pressure of media’s dominant position. As a result, communication and interaction between fiction and media become fairly important and necessary. Communication and interaction could extend the merit and function of both visual and literal method, benefit each other and, moreover, provide a diverse cultural consumption sample for the modern society and mess media era.
