"Research on Image Narration in Film and Television Dramas" - How to complete image narrative regularly?

Basic point of view: The article "Research on Image Narrative in Film and Television Dramas" mainly takes image narrative as the research object, and explores the laws of film and television art from two levels of academic theory and technical operation. The author believes that mastering film and television narrative theory is of great significance to understanding the art of film and television dramas and creating film and television dramas. Judging from the current status of research on image narration in China at that time, we lacked relatively systematic and specialized theoretical writings, and there was a problem that research could not keep up with the development of creation. Coupled with the Western disdain for the artistic research of TV dramas, it further increases the author's necessity to study the image narrative of film and television dramas.

The author first defines and explains narratology and film and television narrative theory, sorts out their origin and development process, and clarifies the theoretical premise and foundation for the following research.

Subsequently, the author discussed how images in movies and TV series narrate stories from the two basic elements of image narrative, image and sound, and the two narrative dimensions of time and space. Here, I would like to summarize and elaborate mainly on the two parts of sound and image.

The author believes that image is the basic unit of image, and analyzes the image elements in film and television narratives from two aspects: image composition elements and image representation rules. The components of images include capacity, selection, photography, structure and assembly. The main rules of image representation include montage, long shot theory and scene mise-en-scène. Montage is the grammatical rule of all image narrative thinking, creation methods and image narrative. Long shots also have unique advantages in maintaining the integrity of the plot space and the true flow of time. Scene mise-en-scène plays an important role in the narrative and expression of film and television dramas because of its diverse forms and methods.

Due to the limitations of images, the supplementary and interpretive role of sound to images is also of great significance to the entire film and television work. In the article, the author elaborates on how sound, an image narrative element, implements and plays a narrative role. First of all, sound itself, as an important factor in narrative, plays an important role in film and television narrative. The most fundamental function is to enhance the reality of the picture. The sound system of film and television includes audio language, music and sound, which play the roles of meaning, expression and expression respectively. These three are the three sub-elements that constitute the sound narrative. They are organically integrated with each other to create a distinct and vivid sound image. The author also believes that from silent films to talkies, sound has brought about fundamental changes in narrative methods and has had an important impact on film and television narratives. But this does not mean denying the status of screen (visual space) as a more basic and distinctive element of film and television narratives.

As two elements of film and television narrative, sound and image have different functions and have their own limitations. At this time, the combination of sound and picture becomes very important. The two complement each other and complement each other. Only by using text and sound systems to improve the deficiencies of picture language and form the concept of image language and sound narrative can the narrative be better completed.

Reading experience: This book was written in 2008. At that time, China's film and television industry had already developed to a certain extent, and there were many excellent works in the film and television market. However, due to various reasons including a late start, lack of theoretical knowledge, and too few people willing to devote themselves to research, my country's theoretical research on film and television narrative has not kept pace with the development of the industry. The author is willing to choose the topic of image narrative research in film and television dramas to fill the gap in research in this area in my country and provide theoretical guidance for the sustainable development of the film and television industry. In my opinion, it is a sign of responsibility and responsibility as a scholar. In terms of content, compared with most research literature, this book is superior in depth, breadth and height. The author not only comprehensively uses various domestic and foreign research theories, but also starts from the most basic elements of film and television narratives to get to the root of the problem. I noticed that this book has been cited more than 4,500 times on China National Knowledge Infrastructure, which also proves that this book is indeed of great value to the study of film and television narratives in my country. Although I am still not able to fully understand and apply all the theories in this book based on my current knowledge base, I believe that after reading this book, my way of thinking will always be affected and changed in some subtle ways. The harvest will definitely play an important role in guiding my future study and practice.
