The Appearance Of Cinderella’s Image From A Cross-media Perspective

The story of Cinderella has been circulated for a long time around the world and is an important crystallization of wisdom in human society.From oral literature to writer’s literature to film and television works,this classic story has been enriched in the dissemination of different media.Existing academic research mainly focuses on sorting out the origin of Cinderella’s story and comparative analysis of different versions of the story,and seldom discusses it from the character image.The development of human cognition media promote each other.On the one hand,technological progress provides technical support for the generation and widespread use of new communication methods;on the other hand,the change in mainstream communication methods affects the way people understand the world and express themselves.With the development and evolution of the media,the mainstream presentation of classic stories has also changed.Characters are the core element of the story.On the one hand,the appearance of character images in different media reflects the evolution of the story in a point-to-face manner;on the other hand,it is a side reflection of the understanding of people.This article takes the appearance of Cinderella images in different media as the research object,and through case analysis,studies the changes and changes of Cinderella images in different media.In terms of communication media,three typical media methods are selected:folk oral communication,writer’s text communication,and film and television communication.Through the analysis of typical cases,fully study the evolution of Cinderella’s image in both horizontal and vertical dimensions.The standard for selecting typical cases is mainly the spread of the story and the degree of public acceptance and understanding:the folktale chooses the Cinderella story text in "The Grimm’s Fairy Tales"[1]and "The Story of M other Goose"[2];the writer’s literary selection"Sister Carrie"[3]and "Pride and Prejudice"[4];film and television dramas selected Disney’s 1950 animated film "Cinderella" and 2015 feature film "Cinderella".The media has a vital influence on the presentation of the story.From the analysis of the evolution of the characters in different media,it can be concluded that the core of value that people bet on in different periods is.Folk oral dictation sets a symbolic image tone for Cinderella’s image,and this tone has become a label that sticks to this character invisibly.The writer’s literature is the full expression of the writer’s personal will,and the profound discussions with the significance of the times are carried out within the framework of the grand story,which adds new connotations to the image of Cinderella.Because of the particularity of the form and the stronger commercial attributes of the film and television works,its primary task is to provide the audience with sensory satisfaction.Therefore,the film and television works are not purely pursuing ideological improvement,but provide under the premise of fully satisfying the audience’s visual experience and get the most economic benefits from it.
