Terminology of film and television criticism, classification of film and television criticism

The history of film and television Characteristics of film and television Visual elements of film and television.

Film and television appreciation requirements: knowledge of film and television history and director introduction The background and content of the work, the interpretation of the theme, and the background of the film era or realism should be combined with the difference of the constituent elements Understand the selection of film themes, literary adaptations, and script structure. Three types:

1) Tragedy; 2) Comedy; 3) Tragicomedy.

From the point of view of style: the style of tragedy is serious and sad, and the ending is tragic; The style of comedy is light-hearted and cheerful, with a happy ending; The style of the main drama is serious, the content is realistic, and the contradictions in the play are complex, but sometimes they can be resolved to some extent.

The way to distinguish between comedy and drama is to look at the form of expression. The style of the drama is on the serious side, while the style of comedy is light-hearted and funny. The drama is also called a "serious comedy".

The way to distinguish between tragedy and drama is to look at the ending. The ending of a tragedy is tragic, and the ending of a drama is generally a problem solved or partially resolved, not entirely a tragic ending.

The first thing we have to do is decide who we want to write the review for. Depending on the hypothetical reader, we can divide the review into professional and non-professional reviews. In my understanding, the so-called professional criticism refers to the criticism that can have a direct impact on the filmmaker, and it may include criticism of scene scheduling, criticism of cinematography, criticism of film editing, criticism of narrative structure, criticism of performance, criticism of theme symbolism, and so on.

This kind of professional review is rare on the Internet, because professional review needs to use some auxiliary review tools, which are not familiar to non-specialists, so that professional review can only have an impact on a certain small area. These tools include aesthetics, structuralism, semiotics, psychoanalytic theory, and many more. Depending on the angle of entry, the tools used are different.

"Empty shots" refer to shots related to the plot, with only scenery and no characters.

Pull the lens", the object does not move, the lens is gradually pulled back, and the picture gradually expands from the part to the whole. The opposite is "pushing the camera", which is used by Alia when she is thrown into the waste ditch in the movie "A Mother's Revenge".

In order to achieve the effect of "one shot to the end", you can use means such as pulling the lens, pushing the lens, panning the lens, moving the lens, etc., but you can't cut or break it.

Push and pull shots: highlight the key points of the introduction and reinforce the characteristics of things; Huge spaces are displayed, creating a sense of depth.

Movement lens: introduce the environment and the place where things happen, explain the relationship between the environment, people and things, render the atmosphere of the environment, express the internal connection of time and space, highlight and emphasize the theme and key points, truly describe the movement of the subject, increase credibility, arouse the audience's association, strengthen the comedic effect, make the fixed subject move, change the audience's perspective, remedy the limitations of the fixed proportion of the picture, form a certain rhythm, and adjust the composition.
