| As a type of film in the realism theme,the documentary film has a unique style and characteristics.It is greatly concerned by the majority of film directors and movie researchers.At the same time,as a major trend of contemporary Chinese film and television creation,documentaryism has in-depth research and analysis of it is of great significance for the progress of film and television creative practice in China.The development of the documentary film can be traced back to the beginning of the film.The record of the film proposed by the Lumiere brothers emphasizes its recording and revealing function;after that,the Soviet director Vertov put forward the theory of “movie eye” and in practice The filming of news films and documentaries was widely carried out;André Bazin,the founder of documentary aesthetics,gave a systematic and complete aesthetic framework to documentary aesthetics.His ontology of film images fundamentally explained the aesthetic essence of documentary films.And the core-the real,and promoted the formation of the Italian film of the new realism,which was the first to adopt documentary aesthetics as its guiding ideology.The development of documentary film research in China lags behind.In the 1980 s,there was once a great discussion about the documentary aesthetics,which profoundly influenced the film director's creative practice and theoretical research in the film industry.Since then,Chinese films have entered a period of vigorous development.A large number of film directors have appeared in the film.They have played an important role in the creation of documentary films.The documentary film has very distinctive features in terms of content.The main theme is to tell the story of the little person as the core,and to describe the underlying mass of the society and the marginalized people who are not noticed,such as “The Blind Well” and “Blunt Mountain” directed by Li Yang.The themes of the miners and the trafficked women were described separately;the theme focused on the performance of ordinary people's real life perceptions,such as Jia Xiaoke's “Xiaowu” and “Shanhe Guren”,and they focused their attention on the ordinary people in underdeveloped small towns.In humans,they express their true life perceptions and life experiences.In narratives,they use a combination of documentary and dramatic ones.This not only maintains and restores the original appearance of the story,but also avoids the narration of flat-sweeping and flowing accounts.People are amazed;on the implication,they seek expressions of philosophy of life and humane care,such as "Dear" and "One-One",which tell about the social philosophy of the abduction,family and loved ones,and the concern for the survival of the people.The documentary film also has a more unique expression in the form of audiovisual practice.The use of a large number of long shots,the use of natural light effects and real shots,the appearance of non-professional actors,and the use of simultaneous sounds to reduce late-stage dubbing are all examples of concrete implementations of documentary aesthetic film creation.These creative means and forms will enhance the film's realism and documentary,shape real-life stories and characters,and create a real-life atmosphere,and form a realism-oriented documentary aesthetic orientation.The documentary film exposes and reveals some profound philosophical thoughts by means of the image recording of real social reality and people's living conditions,thus giving people inspiration or eliciting emotional resonance and promoting people's thinking or social progress.However,the development of China's documentary aesthetic films still has shortcomings such as narrow subject matter,over-exaggerated expression of groups,lack of reflection on the times,depth of life exploration,and pan-entertainment.Although the documentary aesthetic film does not belong to the main theme of this era,it can help us to see the world in a real light and help us to reflect on the past and guide the future. |
