How to express the theme of "the power of language" with pictures (photography)?

There is no doubt that we live in a world of images. It can be said that the image is our most authentic and primitive life form, and each of us is deeply embedded in it in this way, being the protagonist, the bystander and the scenery. Therefore, when we sit in a dim cinema and enjoy a movie like a religious ceremony, whether it is a tragedy or a comedy, whether it is a joy or a couple, we can't overcome fate after all. The instant touch in the dark should come from a kind of physical trance, which is caused by being too familiar, and finally creates the core power of image language in the world we live in.

Image language makes life and movies "inseparable"

The charm of art always comes from her concentration, refinement, reconstruction and presentation based on reality. It can't be a pure truth, but it must be higher than the real "truth" in real life. This "truth" makes it easier for us to get spiritual and spiritual shock, recovery, awakening and rebirth. As for these, no art form has enough capital to compete with movies. The narrative, sound, light, shadow and image of the film are the most profound reproduction and reproduction of the real world in which we live and live. From the structural point of view, novels, poems, fine arts, architecture and sculpture all have their own insurmountable gaps. Only images can be said to be expressive, and there is no suspicion of sculpture-because we live in a world of images, we are a part of images, and nothing can enter our hearts and impress them more than images themselves.

Image language makes emotions reappear.

Of course, the power of image language is not just a simple perceptual knowledge. As a science, it contains a lot of rational elements. It's like a novel that we can't put down. Although we are attracted by well-designed plots and vivid characters, all immortal stories will not be produced without the author's hard study of language, perfect mastery and efforts to explore various narrative techniques. The power of image language comes from exquisite editing and the use of natural montage.

In addition to the construction of montage, we also need to seriously consider the coordination of the relationship between sound and painting. There are three kinds of sound-picture relationships: sound-picture synchronization, that is, the picture content is the vocal body itself; The separation of sound and picture means that the content of the picture is not the speaker himself, but the person or thing corresponding to the speaker. For example, when two people talk, the picture is not the speaker, but the listener (reaction shot); The opposition between sound and picture, that is, the opposition between picture and sound, produces special effects, such as irony. An extreme example: when two people quarrel, the voice gradually turns into a dog barking. The unexpected combination of sound and painting often makes editing reach a higher artistic level.

Image language promotes text innovation.

Another important function of editing and montage is that it can affect the characteristics of the whole picture. The change of scene distance, movement, angle, speed and skill ... the direction of the picture, the direction of vision, the direction of the movement of things, the direction of the lens axis and the final grasp of the rhythm of the film on this basis are all important factors that make a film attract many audiences to rave reviews.

The charm of film language can even go beyond its own text rules, and then cross into related media fields, make meaningful attempts, and bring a brand-new viewing experience to the audience. It can't be said that it has unique power that other media can't match.

From the theoretical point of view of technology, the power source of image language is simple, even dogmatic, but it is on this basis that those films with great visual impact and artistic appeal are produced, which present the aesthetic and implicit oriental aesthetics in Spring Gone and Spring Come, deconstruct the postmodern humor and helplessness implied in Run Lola, and the film can formally enter the sacred palace of art. We have countless joys and silences in the dark cinema.

The image and image language in the world we live in is a carrier that can contain and surpass the essence of human thought and culture in a higher and more perfect form, and it is an artistic form and ultimate aesthetic feeling that greatly surpasses music and literature. In our world, its power continues on the ground and extends in the air.
