On the artistic style of Hollywood movies: model essay 1

Abstract: Looking at the development of American film art, the birth of Hollywood films is the dividing point. Hollywood movies are undoubtedly the focus of world movies, and they are unique in the field of contemporary film and television. From the change and development of Hollywood film art style, it has three obvious stages of development, namely, rise, golden age and modern film art. This paper focuses on the artistic style of Hollywood movies, lists outstanding Hollywood movies in different periods, and summarizes the artistic style of Hollywood movies from different angles through the analysis of movie scenes, production techniques and expression forms.

[Keywords:] Hollywood movies; Artistic style; Art design

Since its birth, Hollywood movies in the United States have become the vanguard of the world film trend and occupy a dominant position in the contemporary film industry. From the analysis of the artistic production of Hollywood films, we can't fully grasp their artistic style. Whether it is films produced by film companies or independent films, the development trend of today's film art is constantly formed because of the richness and diversity of film themes, that is, changeable, imaginative thinking and shocking visual effects. Therefore, regardless of the investment cost of Hollywood films, its unique film artistic creation style is also worth learning.

First, the large-scale style created by super scenes

The artistic style of Hollywood movies is first manifested in the grand large-scale style of the scene, which combines the characters' modeling, movements and perfect sound and painting effects to lead the audience to experience visual feasts again and again. For example, in 19 16 by David? Griffith's Hollywood film Let's Oppose Differences shows a large-scale artistic style. The film will show the architectural scenery of the same period vividly, and invited the famous sculptor Frank? Wolman is mainly responsible for the art design of movies. I believe that the audience who have seen this film will never forget the wonderful visual arts presented in the camera screen, including magnificent scenes, unique buildings, design with modeling awareness, endless squares and intensive character movements. These artistic elements contained in the film undoubtedly make it a great spectacle of visual art. Furthermore, the scale of the "Babylon Palace" depicted in the film is amazing, which has left a deep impression on the audience, and this building has also become an unprecedented artistic landscape. Therefore, the film "Let the Party Oppose Disagreements" also leads the blockbuster style of Hollywood movie scene modeling to a great extent, which is of milestone significance. This type of film works often pay attention to visual impact, and the film scene is magnificent, just like an avalanche of charm, which makes the film scene form a huge artistic shape and can accommodate the actions of many people. Undoubtedly, the artistic style created by the film is extremely luxurious. Since then, Hollywood films have taken "Let's oppose different groups" as a model of film creation, and this blockbuster style has been gradually carried forward and inherited, especially in contemporary Hollywood films, some far-reaching films have blockbuster styles and super scenes.

Second, the style and decoration style of the production company

The same type of film works have different artistic effects in vision, which is mainly attributed to different sources. In the development of Hollywood film art, there was once a system that took the production company as the symbol and decided the artistic scene, clothing and style of the film through consultation between the art designer and the director. And the decorative style of the film is in Charles? The film company to which Hall and others belong has been embodied. They often make the whole scene space have different visual feelings and create different artistic styles through different decorations, which directly leads to the obvious differences in the external materials of the film. Famous American production designer Hans? Derel once worked in a German film studio, so it is not difficult to understand that there is a remarkable concise style in his film creation, which is unique to Europeans. At the same time, he is also good at creating romantic and beautiful artistic scenes and is used to more luxurious installation scenes. Because of Hans? Derel's personal aesthetic style gradually promoted the formation of Paramount's image style.

Another famous production company is Universal Studios, mainly by Herman? Ross and Charles? Hall created a gloomy and depressing artistic style. Almost every studio can extract typical decorative styles from the environment, and their creative tonality can also show the quality of life with different aesthetic arts, highlighting the tone of the scene and the decorative style of the studio. In the production of Hollywood movies, the simple realistic style is Warner Bros.' unique visual experience, which depends on Anton? The shaping of Gertrude. The artistic style of the world-renowned Fox Film Company in the 20th century was created by William? Just wait. * * * identify with each other, and create distinctive artistic styles in line with the company's characteristics through different forms. Founded in 1928, Ray Film Company is one of the film companies in the golden age of Hollywood. At that time, Van Nestor and others were the main directors and successfully shaped Rogers' musical films. 194 1 Hollywood film Citizen Kane highlights this decorative style.

Thirdly, the visual style created by the combination of digital technology and film art.

Generally speaking, the traditional film stunt production method has little influence on the style of Hollywood movies. Strictly speaking, it is just a means of film creation, which presents the lens images that cannot be completed in reality. However, due to the limitation of creative tools and techniques, it still can't show a three-dimensional and dynamic film and television picture, which can be seen from the early film Xu Ben. With the advent of the digital age, the creation of Hollywood films has also achieved a qualitative change. The reason why contemporary Hollywood films can occupy a certain position in the hearts of the audience lies in their quality assurance, which is embodied in the diverse scenes with American characteristics, ups and downs of plot settings and excellent special effects.

With the maturity of computer technology in Hollywood movies, "digital stunts" have had a prominent impact on the image language of movies, making up for the lack of traditional artistic expression to some extent, thus realizing the presentation of perfect visual effects and fully interpreting the artistic techniques of movie stunts. Take the Hollywood movie Star Wars filmed by 1977 as an example, this movie opens the digital technology of industrial light and shadow magic for the first time. By 1992, by James? The establishment of the digital company co-founded by Cameron and others marks the perfect combination of digital technology and Hollywood movies, reaching the peak of film creation and successfully opening up a brand-new visual enjoyment for film art. With the birth of the Hollywood movie Jurassic Park, this movie is recognized as a miracle of modern science and technology. Spielberg, the famous director, devoted his passion and wisdom to digital technology, showing the audience a dinosaur era spanning10.40 billion years, and returning the dreams left in the audience's hearts to reality.

Subsequent Hollywood films, such as True Lies, which was shot by 1994, and Titanic, which was shot by 1997, are undoubtedly not examples of the perfect combination of digital technology and film art style. Especially in 2009, by James? The three-dimensional film Avatar directed by Cameron has created a miracle of digital technology and fully demonstrated the modern visual style. 20 10 by Christopher? Inception, a sci-fi blockbuster shot by Nolan, once again surprises the audience in visual art and leads the audience to shuttle between dreams and reality, which can be described as a perfect visual feast. These creative methods of Hollywood films have almost changed the development trend of film art and realized the transformation of film production from traditional interface to new materials. The most outstanding achievement is the improvement of visual level, just like Bill, an American visual effects expert. George agrees that the future development of movies is digital technology. At present, the field of film and television has entered the digital age, and digital technology will certainly improve the production level of Hollywood films and show their visual style. With the continuous innovation and development of digital technology, it is undoubtedly a great leap in the field of film and television, vividly interpreting the visual style of Hollywood movies and opening up new technical fields for its future development.

Fourth, mix modern styles.

The artistic style of Hollywood movies will change with the times, but it is difficult to properly evaluate its specific style. Although the aesthetic characteristics of Hollywood films are all expressed through video films, the artistic style expressed through these images is the same as that of Hollywood films themselves, which does not produce a fixed creative mode, so it is a broad external interface. At present, with the new media once becoming one of the factors that determine the direction of film art, the creative concept of pursuing innovation and modernization has pushed the expression form of film to the marginalization trend. At the same time, visual theory and western philosophy have also led to the sudden change of Hollywood film art style to varying degrees. Contemporary Hollywood film art presents diversified creations and actively breaks the traditional interface, and the performance of films is not the same.

In fact, since the birth of Hollywood films, there has rarely been a single film art style. Even realism and other types of film art styles are not dominated by a single style. Creators often integrate other film elements into the main style, but it will not affect the overall film art style, because in most artistic scenes, it closely conforms to the main style and adopts many different forms of expression. For example, in the Hollywood movie tales of mystery released in 2005, the director cut the story background into the real space, but there were many dreamy scenes in the film, which showed strong visual effects by surreal means. Other Hollywood movies, such as Invasion of Brain Cells released in 2000 and Sin City released in 2005, all follow the same image expression technique, and the most distinctive artistic style in this kind of movies is mixed expression style, such as Keanu? The Matrix series, the representative work of Reeves, is a blend of various forms of expression, including elements of eastern and western kung fu films, fairy tales, comics, science fiction films and so on. , highlighting the mixed performance style.

Another Hollywood film, sharping Man, was released in 2008. Film creation also uses a variety of language styles, including realism and surrealism elements, and is also deeply influenced by postmodern culture. These elements have been reflected in the film, showing a mixed modern artistic style. The Hollywood film The Shining also highlights the American-style black art style. The plane principle is adopted in the film, and the film elements such as sculpture and animation are brought to the extreme. Film creation is not limited to a single form, but has achieved diversified development in visual image and expression techniques. The birth of mixed artistic style is closely related to the development of digital technology, and interacts with new media art, becoming the dominant artistic style in Hollywood film creation.

Verb (abbreviation of verb) conclusion

In a word, Hollywood film art itself is a complex and huge system, and it is difficult to grasp its essence if it is simply analyzed from the surface. However, by listing Hollywood film works and their manifestations in different periods, we will undoubtedly have a general understanding of Hollywood film art style. This paper summarizes the artistic style of contemporary Hollywood movies from different angles. These angles have undeniable cognitive limitations in analyzing problems, either through investigation or personal subjective views. But if we look at Hollywood movies from a developmental perspective, their film art will certainly extend more innovative American styles like film and television works. To truly grasp the artistic style of Hollywood movies, we must constantly understand and explore, so as to grasp the development orientation and style of Hollywood movie art. By analyzing the artistic style of Hollywood movies, we can also alert our film and television workers to pay attention to artistic innovation, which has reference significance for the development of China film and television field.

On the relationship between Hollywood religious films and characters.

The movie The Prince of Egypt is based on the Bible? A famous religious story in Hollywood style adapted from Exodus. The film Exodus shows the tone of realism, highlights the humanistic spirit and highlights the entertainment. The written Exodus shows the tone of religion, emphasizes the majesty of God and embodies the inviolability of God. Both have their own trade-offs, but they do not hinder mutual promotion.

Film is a comprehensive art, which has an unprecedented close relationship with economy, politics, religion and science and technology. The absorption and accommodation of other art types by film is the source of its rapid development. Language and literature, as a mature and developed art category, bears the heavy responsibility of recording historical changes and civilized development at the beginning of the development of human society. It is natural for young films to learn from ancient literature. It can be said that movies are based on literature and express their own way of existence with images. However, the film does not stick to the absolute faithful adaptation of the original, but presents a state of free choice according to the characteristics of visual art, and its foothold focuses on the presentation of the "image essence" of the film, that is, whether the displayed picture is good-looking. The film The Prince of Egypt and the character Exodus have different orientations because of their different characteristics.

First, the realistic tone of the film and the religious tone of the text.

Matt Bai pointed out: "Although Hollywood has provided the audience with a promise to escape from real life, it has always maintained social conventions. In terms of plot and theme, it still describes a social situation that we can agree with." The tone of realism has always been the main tone of Hollywood movies. With the theme of "realism is still irreplaceable", Wu believes that "American movies are realistic, although there are various aesthetic forms, they are basically realistic, otherwise they will not mobilize the audience all over the world." Only by paying attention to the lives of real people can we win a great victory at the box office. Lan believes that "the spectacle thinking and the underlying structural principle of dream logic in Hollywood movies are still the living state of mass reality." Hollywood movies often discuss topics closely related to daily life, such as career, love, family and social problems. These problems are many things that we have to face every day in real life, which reflects the film's thinking about life.

Basically, the movie The Prince of Egypt just borrowed the Bible? The well-known characters and general plot in Exodus, with a few paragraphs described in the book, made the film version of the Egyptian prince through the fiction of the film. The film focuses on Moses' love and career. The first half of the film is fixed on the growth of Moses and the harvest of love, and Moses' career is accompanied by his growth. As the spokesman of God, Moses completed the mission of saving the public for God. The film presents a realistic picture. Generally speaking, the film tells the story of a human hero. We can see a person's heroic deeds everywhere, during which he experienced many hardships, not just relying on the power of God. The film only tells the story of the first half of the text Exodus, and makes no mention of the second half. The Hollywood version of "The Prince of Egypt" ended with Moses leading the Israelites to escape from the cruel rule of the Egyptian pharaoh and run to a happy place. The hero achieved himself in saving America and the world, and achieved the heroic complex in Hollywood, emphasizing the American spirit of resisting oppression and pursuing freedom.

The focus of the Bible is to describe the power of God and the benefits he brings to people. The point of scripture is to show the power of the Lord. In "God called Moses" and "God gave Moses the ability to perform miracles", Moses saw the infinite power of God, and then God asked Moses to save his people instead of him. According to God's instructions, Moses saw Pharaoh's request to let the Israelites leave Egypt to find their own happiness. But Pharaoh refused. The words described God's rage and sent ten disasters, namely, blood disaster, frog disaster, salamander disaster, fly disaster, animal epidemic disaster, sore disaster, hail disaster, locust disaster and dark disaster, and warned to kill the eldest son. Finally, the eldest son of Egypt was killed, all of which focused on describing God's miracles. When crossing the Red Sea, God cut a hand in the sea to keep the Israelites away from the Egyptians and drowned all the Egyptians. The power of the Lord makes Israel worship, which is mainly described in chapters 4 to 14 of the text, showing the power of God. As a man, Moses became a puppet of God in words. All the strength of Moses comes from this omnipresent God, and he wants to show his majesty and unquestionable God everywhere. The length of the text is divided into 40 chapters. Chapters 15 to 40 describe the journey in the wilderness, the covenant in Sinai, the worship and instruction of the tabernacle, the destruction and redefinition of the covenant, and the construction of the tabernacle, which all add to the religious atmosphere.

Second, the sanctity of film entertainment language.

Croce's classic interpretation of "all history is contemporary history" reveals the wisdom of Hollywood filmmakers. They can always make any film meet the tastes of contemporary people, and interpret an eternal Bible legend with contemporary American cultural values, which can not only reflect the humanistic spirit, but also combine commercial elements. It is not known whether the combination of Christianity and mass entertainment can be "freed from the submission to cultural fashion" and maintain its sacredness. Today, with the rapid development of science and technology and the prevalence of multiculturalism, it is indeed a very difficult thing to show the sacred performance of religion in images. After all, secular entertainment and religious sanctity are still in conflict. Writing is full of religious seriousness. In words, any disrespect for God is absolutely forbidden, and even the image of God is not allowed to be shaped, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable. God has no image and does not allow mortals to blaspheme. Words are strengthening this sense of sacredness everywhere, without any slack. Therefore, people's freedom and rights in the Bible are not innate, but are subject to God's will. These rights come from God and are based on the laws revealed by God. People should love God, because God is truth, there is no doubt about it. Moreover, to establish a correct relationship with God, it is also necessary for human beings to love each other and establish the foundation of harmonious coexistence. Only in this way can God finally succeed in saving mankind, and the sanctity of words is also reflected in redemption.

This film can be said to be a collage of biblical stories and contemporary American pop elements. The entertainment of movies mainly provides audio-visual enjoyment, and cares about visual and auditory enjoyment. At the same time, at the emotional level, it is important to provide content that meets people's expectations. Hollywood movies are used to creating American dreams and spirits, and the yearning and pursuit of peace and freedom has become the best interpretation of entertainment. In addition, cartoons use technology to draw scenes that are impossible in reality, such as water turning into blood and roads appearing in the Red Sea. Movies use their own magical effects to make our visual senses strongly impacted. Although it took Moses only seven minutes to separate the Red Sea, it took 16 painters three years of hard work and 318,000 hours of computer production. This is the first time that super-realistic water appears in animation, which gives the audience a strong visual impact. The audience took pains to choose the movies of the same genre, not only to meet their expectations that they would not fail in their vision, but also to find visual entertainment in the familiar image space. With the double entertainment of sight and hearing, the oppressive feeling brought by religion is dispelled.

Thirdly, the interaction between words and images.

Although there are contradictions between words and images, it does not hinder the mutual promotion between them. Movies should still be faithful to the core content and framework of words, especially in the face of some classic words. If the adaptation deviates too much from the original text, it will attract a lot of accusations and criticisms. The advantage of image is vivid and informative, but the image is easy to understand and straightforward to explain, which greatly reduces the difficulty of understanding and lacks aesthetic imagination. The audience only needs to passively accept them, and some people who study mass media have a clear understanding of this. People should take the initiative to think about words and imagine the difficulty of novels. This kind of reading pleasure is extended in unfamiliar languages. Historically, image has always been discriminated against. In the Republic, Plato's famous "three beds" theory regards the image as the lowest copy. In the Bible? In Exodus, people want to create an image of God to make him look like a golden calf. As a result, it attracted the anger of God and brought disaster to the people. Similarly, when words are adapted into movies, many people are also very picky about the production of images, because images stifle people's imagination. But in daily life, the spread of images has been everywhere, and as an indispensable force, it has contributed to people's practical activities.

Four. conclusion

From this perspective, the difference between images and characters is based on their different value orientations and the characteristics of different art categories. Each art category has its own characteristics. If each art category wants to be related to other art categories, it must first consider its own characteristics. Words win by language, movies win by pictures, and movies adapt literary works, all of which stem from the pursuit of their own perfection and adopt a principle of "takenism". Good image communication will not abandon the core value of humanistic feelings of words, and good words also try to show their value through language.
