An Analysis Of The Self-healing Function Of Private Documentaries

"Film is a kind of ‘psychological game'.In a real sense,film does not exist on film or even on the screen,but only in the minds of creators and viewers." Hugo Minsterberg's view takes psychology,film,creator and audience as a whole.From the emergence of Hollywood Dream Works to the exploration of the healing function of images,there has always been an inseparable relationship between film and psychology.It not only satisfies the audience's desire to watch,but also carries and expresses the dreams,hopes and sadness of the audience and creators.Plato pointed out in his cave theory that only when prisoners climb out of the cave and look directly at the sun can they realize self enlightenment.For those suffering from mental distress,self-documentary creation is like an exploration way to realize self enlightenment.The creator takes the camera to actively intervene in real life and gives emotion to the image expression.Its private space display,together with a new perspective of contrast and Reflection on past experience and current state,provides a new image for the healing of the creator's inner trauma and dilemma Like the way of therapy,it realizes the identity transformation from art therapy help seeker to self therapy.Combined with the research status of self-documentary,this paper re-combs the background,historical origin and current situation at home and abroad of self-documentary.At the same time,from the perspective of psychology and film art,it uses the methods of literature research,case analysis and interdisciplinary research to analyze the impact of the creation process of self-documentary on the psychology of the creative subject by combining practice and theory and healing effect.In the first chapter,the concepts of "self-documentary" and "self-healing" are redefined,and the self-documentary and other similar image types are distinguished from different latitudes;in the second chapter,the work “Close" is taken as an example to carry out the theoretical analysis of self narrative therapy,dialogue therapy and reflection therapy;in the third chapter,the healing methods and effects of the work are reflected.The self healing exploration of self-documentary shows the audience the process of self enlightenment of the creator,under the background of "life politics" in today's era,self-documentary opens a window to re-examine the individual's way of life by means of self oriented political care,so as to provide a visible idea for people to complete self rescue when facing the impact of globalization on individual life.
