Any form and genre of film and television works can not be separated from the artistic re-creation process of editing. Editing is by no means a simple technical operation of cutting and splicing. A qualified editor should, on the basis of deeply understanding the ideological content, artistic form and the director's overall conception of the work, creatively sort out and select the picture material and sound material produced in the early stage, and combine them organically by montage to make it a complete work with strict structure, moderate rhythm, strong artistic expression and appeal.

65438+1960s-65438+the middle of the 9th century, with the realization of the industrial revolution, capitalist production completed the transition from the workshop handicraft era to the machine industry era, and the original capital began to expand rapidly, laying a solid foundation for the film and television industry. The 50-second "Train Entering Station" released by 1895 is just a silent shot of the train entering the station from a distance. With the continuous development and growth of the film industry, 1927 appeared a sound film, a feature film in the early 20th century, and a color film in the 1930s, which made the film industry gradually mature. Editing is produced with the development of movies. Using clips, different single-shot clips are spliced together to form a new understanding and perception, which constitutes a group of dramatic paragraphs.

As we all know, documentaries should be completed through pre-topic selection, mid-shooting and post-editing. The mid-term filming of documentary is different from film and television feature films. Feature films can be made one by one according to the director's story board, and finally they can be made into films according to story board's slight changes. This idea of editing is completely exposed in story board, which is an obvious idea of editing.

The feature of documentary is that the lens is not based on story board, and the editing concept is contained in the director's mind. In the middle of shooting, it is necessary to collect a lot of original materials to ensure the smooth completion of the later editing. All the materials are collected temporarily on the spot, which determines that the period of documentary shooting is longer than that of film and television feature films, and there is often no repetition of an action in the process of material collection, which requires not only the photographer's ability to capture when shooting, but also the director's logical editing thinking. Therefore, the concept of this clip is looming.

Since the film began to develop, two theoretical schools have been formed. One is the montage school headed by Eisenstein, which believes that movies can produce new meanings after editing. The second category is based on Andre? Bazin's long shot theory, starting from his own photography ontology, put forward the long shot theory opposite to montage theory, emphasizing "the truth of space". These two schools are actually based on the art of editing, and many times we regard it as the third creation.

A creation is the creation of a literary script, which is different from the brushwork of lyric prose. It requires strict structure, rich drama conflicts, three-dimensional characters, reasonable plot narrative and complete scenes. Literary script is the foundation of a film. Only with a solid foundation can film and television works continue.

The second creation is the material shot by the director, and based on the literary script, the process of transforming words into lens pictures. We should make full use of the director's scheduling and perspective to interpret the literary script, and then the embryonic form of the film can already be seen.

The third creation is editing. Editing should fully understand the director's ideas on the basis of perceiving the literary script, and clip the scattered shots together to form an innovation. Grasping the structure and speed of the film, coupled with the director's advanced worldview, is a complex and huge task, and finally an excellent film with accurate audio-visual language, smooth story telling and telling the audience the world in the director's eyes can be formed.

To study the editing effect of documentary, we should first start with the definition of documentary. The so-called documentary is a film or television art form that takes real life as the creative material and real people as the performance object, and artistically processes and displays it. Its essence is to show the truth and make people think with it. The meaning of film is a continuous picture developed by combining active photography with slide show.

From this comparison, we can see that the documentary is a representation of real life, which has laid the style of documentary editing. It can't add a lot of editing stunts like film and television feature films, and it must form a simple editing style on the premise of reflecting real life.

The original documentary did not have the concept of editing. The train will eventually stop. Although the documentary has developed to the present, it must retain this simple style, but it has also made great innovations in editing. In this episode of China on the Tip of the Tongue-Footsteps, fragmentation editing is used in the process of cutting down trees and collecting honey from white horses, which enhances the tension in this process.

Therefore, modern documentaries have abandoned the old and rigid editing mode, abandoned the concept that documentaries are composed of most long shots, and began to move towards technology and popularization. Modern documentaries not only have long lens theory, but also use montage effect.

The documentary "Sunshine Baby" uses contrast montage. The sharp contrast of the living conditions of Mongolian babies in the United States, Japan and Africa is intended to form contrast and conflict. Pan Xiaoyang's Little Students uses symbolic montage many times, and there are many oblique road beats in the film, which symbolizes the decline of Japanese economy.

In the TV documentary Sand and the Sea, the director interweaves and edits the different lifestyles and concepts of two families. The two stories happened at the same time, but in different spaces. This is a parallel montage. The song "What a Beautiful Jasmine" in the documentary "Kindergarten" is repeated four times, which is a repeated montage.

Montage is the most commonly used narrative technique in film and television works, which is used to explain the plot and show events. According to the time flow and causal relationship of plot development, shots, scenes and paragraphs are cut and combined to guide the audience to understand the plot. This technique is also used in modern documentaries, which makes the development of documentaries not single, but diversified.
