Film criticism method

The methods of film criticism are as follows:

1, narrative analysis method

Narration is one of the most basic elements of a film, so we can deeply understand its content and theme by analyzing its narrative style and structure. In narrative analysis, film critics can pay attention to the space-time structure, role shaping and development, plot ups and downs and climax of the film, and explore how these factors reflect the overall effect and intention of the film.

2, visual art analysis method

Film is a visual medium, and its picture quality and artistic effect have an important influence on the audience. Visual art analysis mainly focuses on the use of lenses, color matching of photography, scenery and costume design. By analyzing these elements, film critics can evaluate the visual presentation and aesthetic value of movies and reveal their importance to the emotional expression and theme of science and technology and movies.

3. Script analysis method

Script is the basis of film creation, which has a great influence on the quality and depth of the film. Script analysis mainly studies the dialogue, plot structure, role development and theme expression of the film. According to the script, the film critic can judge whether the plot logic of the film is sub-dense, whether the role creation is true and natural, and whether the dialogue is vivid, so as to evaluate the quality and creative level of the film script.

Using the principles and methodology of humanities and social sciences and film theory, this paper analyzes film works and film phenomena to guide the academic practice of film creation. At the beginning of the 20th century, avant-garde film theorists initiated film criticism activities, which promoted various avant-garde films such as impressionist films, pure films, abstract films, Dadaism films and surrealist films.

Function:

Film criticism is fundamentally different from film theory and film history in function. Criticism must be combined with the reality of film works, with specific pertinence and practicality. Sometimes the theory is divorced from the reality of specific works to a certain extent, and keeps a certain distance from the specific pertinence and practicality. This limits the direct significance of theory to artistic practice. Critics can understand the guiding significance of theory better than practitioners.
