On the Relationship between Film Art and Television Art

Film and television art is the crystallization of science and technology and artistic creation. Science and art are two great achievements of human culture and a pair of beautiful wings of human civilization. The combination of the two is the fusion of truth and beauty, and the communication between rational logical thinking and perceptual visual aesthetic thinking. The two support each other, complement each other, complement each other, and achieve a wonderful combination and sublimation of reason and emotion.

The discussion on the relationship between film art and TV art has never stopped. This paper attempts to put the relationship between the two in the dimensions of film language, history and technology, to examine the evolution of technology and media, and to examine the relationship between film art and television art on the basis of media form. Finally, it proves that film art and TV art are different stages of development under the influence of technology and media.

First, the relationship between film art and television art should be considered in the dimension of film and television language.

Have a broad and narrow understanding of language. Language in a narrow sense refers to the natural language of human beings and is the main research object of linguistics. Language in a broad sense refers to all symbol systems with some communication function. In this sense, animal language, body language, formal language, logical language, computer language, film and television language, etc. Can be regarded as a language, and its types can be described as varied and numerous. The important concept of this paper, film and television language, is neither a broad language nor a narrow language. Film and television language is the product of the combination of broad language and narrow language, so it has the characteristics of both. Thus, film and television language is a comprehensive language. Specifically, film and television language consists of two parts: picture language and character language. Picture language is the part that the audience of film and television works interprets through vision, while character language is the part that is understood through hearing. Therefore, film and television language can also be called audio-visual language. If a film and television work is regarded as a text, then the film and television language is an organic whole composed of picture text and speech text. Picture text and voice text are composed of a large number of sub-texts, respectively. Screen sub-text includes shots, scenes, paragraphs, etc. These sub-texts consist of scenes shot from all angles, namely, panorama, foreground, middle scene, close-up and close-up. The phonetic sub-text includes the voices of people closely related to the above-mentioned screen sub-text. The smallest ideographic unit in these sub-texts belongs to the "vocabulary" part of film and television language.

There is no essential difference between film and television art and carrier audio-visual language. Film and television dramas, whether it is the language of pictures or characters, spread some thoughts and emotions to people by recording and expressing the characteristics of characters, or by recording the story, and achieve the effect of * * * with the audience through audio-visual language. From this perspective, there is no difference between film art and TV art in essence.

Second, the relationship between film art and TV art should be considered in the dimension of the history and technological evolution of film art.

Henri Breches also pointed out: "Technically, mass media technologies are getting closer and closer, showing a convergence phenomenon. From the production point of view, the differences between film, video and computer technology are disappearing, and it is meaningless to distinguish the differences between film and television from the technical point of view. The cheapest HDTV camera is actually a movie camera. The way our students will make movies in the future will depend largely on video and computer technology. "

Film is called the seventh art in the Seventh Art Manifesto, and since Baird invented television, television has been recognized as the eighth art more and more by the world, so the concept of television art has been produced and widely recognized. The relationship between film and television art is the relationship between film art and television art. The so-called film art is an art that evolves from pure visual art to audio-visual art with the help of modern scientific and technological means, and expresses people's emotions and visual wonders in real life with sound and visual images. Television art takes electronic technology as the means of communication, takes sound and painting modeling as the mode of communication, grasps and expresses the objective world by using artistic aesthetic thinking, and achieves the screen art form with emotion as the purpose by shaping a distinctive screen image. We can see that both definitions are coordinates defined by different characteristics of media. If we put this coordinate into the historical dimension, we can see that the difference between the two is disappearing.

1895 12.28 The film was born after the French Lumiere brothers successfully screened it in Cafe Capesin Road 14 in Paris. 1924, British Baird invented the most primitive TV set, which transmitted images by telex. The difference between them is 29 years old. Although there has always been the idea that television has seriously impacted the film market, the two are still developing along different tracks, which are parallel and complement each other. In chronological order, film technology precedes television technology. The artistic expression of TV is developed on the basis of the artistic expression of movies, so they are different stages of the same art. From the order of the birth of technology, movies are the low stage of film and television art, and TV is the high stage of film and television art, but with the development of science and technology, the relationship between them is also changing.

Traditionally, movies are shown in cinemas. The cinema has created a special environment with its wide screen, hi-fi and dark viewing environment. The audience can reach a state of "immersion" under the influence and darkness of many audiences. Now, with the help of higher-tech 3D technology, the characteristics of this medium are fully utilized. The characteristics of film art always depend on the characteristics of film as a media form. Because of its small screen, the sound effect of TV art is not so excellent, and because of the limitation of viewing environment, the audience can not reach the so-called "immersion" state. Media features seem to control content remotely. There are few wonders in TV dramas, and most of them win by plot and emotion. However, under the care of history, we will also see that with the progress of technology, TV, as an advanced product, is also quietly changing: the screen is getting bigger and bigger, the definition is getting higher and higher, and the screen is evolving in the direction of film aspect ratio.

With the change of TV, the content of TV is also changing. For example, in the United States, a multi-billion-dollar production like The Pacific was made into a TV series, which can be taken as a typical example. Moreover, most of the popular American TV dramas on the Internet are broadcast and filmed at the same time, and the clarity and production methods of the pictures are carried out in accordance with the standards of movies. Most TV producers were engaged in film production before, and investors spent a lot of money to shoot TV dramas with film art characteristics to win market profits. Therefore, in the United States, where science and technology are developed, the media form of television is showing the characteristics of film art.

Professor Henry Bretches, an American film theorist, pointed out in the article "Making movies for TV: the best case of film and television integration": "In the current evolution stage of film and television media, we'd better not regard them as two different technologies that are separated from each other, but as an entity that combines production and distribution. In many countries in the United States and Europe, many programs received from TV are actually produced by the film industry. In fact, all film companies are inextricably linked with TV producers and distributors. " We can take technology as the basis and the evolution history of media as the core, assuming that the technical indicators such as screen size and definition of TV can reach the level of movies, then the difference between film art and TV art will disappear. In other words, the content of forging form based on technology will also tend to be unified.

Third, the integration of film and television technology will also bring about the integration of film and television art.

Film art and TV art only show their own characteristics by relying on their own media forms. Innis has different preferences for different forms of media in The Prejudice of Empire, and the content and form carried by the media form will affect the rise and fall of an enemy country. In this way, the development of TV technology will bring the homogenization trend of film and television content. The production cost of flat-panel TV based on plasma or liquid crystal technology is getting lower and lower, and the consumption ability of ordinary people for large-screen TV is not out of reach. Movies with 3D effects can already be played on TV, and high-definition movies can also be played on TV.

The viewing scene of the film has been divorced from the uniqueness of the cinema. If economic conditions permit, the development of modern TV manufacturing technology can meet the requirements of people watching movies at home. With the development of new media, the appearance of flat-panel TV and tablet computer will also change the way people watch movies. However, this does not mean the death of the cinema. In the case that both technology and content may be overtaken by TV, the film will definitely find a new position.
