本论文将把剧情片、纪录片与戏剧在本质特点和媒介特点层面进行横向对比。但重点仍然会放在剧情片,纪录片根据创作者创作手法的不同,也会引入“戏剧性”这一因素,因此说,电影艺术与戏剧是同胞兄弟,这种定位揭示出戏剧与电影既有共同特点又具备相互独立的特色,在艺术门类的归属上,戏剧中有舞剧,并不影响舞蹈作为独立艺术存在,戏剧中有音乐剧,同样并不影响音乐成为一门独立艺术!在戏剧中,起码可以把剧情电影划归到亚戏剧的门类下。纪录片不是戏剧,但纪录片本身并不是电影的全部,不足以支撑电影成为一门独立的艺术,也许电影的发展还不够完善,也许目前只能给电影这样的定义:电影是一种带有戏剧特色的、主动自觉运用光影幻觉来表现运动的视听艺术,既与音乐、舞蹈、绘画等艺术门类有交融,有待成为一门独立的艺术形式。 This thesis will make the horizontal comparison between feature films and documentary films and drama in the aspects of essential features and media features. However, the focus will remain on feature films. According to the creators’ methods of writing, the documentary will also introduce the factor of “dramaticness.” Therefore, film art and drama are fellow brothers and sisters, and this orientation reveals that drama and film both There are common characteristics and have their own characteristics of each other in the ownership of the art class, there is drama in the drama, does not affect the dance as an independent existence of the art, the drama has a musical, the same does not affect the music into an independent art! In the drama In at least you can put the story of the film under the category of drama in Asia. The documentary is not a drama, but the documentary itself is not the whole movie, not enough to support the film into an independent art, the film may not be perfect development, perhaps for the moment the movie is only defined as: the film is a drama with a feature The audiovisual art, which takes the initiative to consciously use the illusion of light and shadow to express the movement, is not only blended with art categories such as music, dance and painting but remains to be an independent art form.
