关于“DV时代”的思考

Ideas on the "DV Era

DV的问世不仅降低了影像制作成本,也带来诸多工作上的便利,为影像话语权的下移提供了基础性条件。DV使专业影像有了更大的创作空间和自由度,把“新浪潮”倡导的“作者电影”变成了真正的全球化的现实。DV的普及,将打破影像领域的贵族化传统,重新确立其大众传媒的本质属性。DV改变了原有的影像格局,使影像文化呈现出多种色彩交相辉映的态势,而“民间影像”往往“从最低的地方开始拍摄”,普遍表现出对身边熟悉题材的关注。DV不仅带来了影像制作者、作品内容和传播途径的重大变化,也适应并进一步促成了影像受众的细分。由于数字视频设备的出现,胶片电影非实时的、单向传播的方式已被推进到了实时的、双向互动交流的方式。在经济多样化、政治民主化、教育大众化、艺术通俗化的时代大潮中,影像艺术的平民化也是历史的必然。

The advent of DV has not only reduced the cost of making videos but also brought about many conveniences and provided the basic condition for the downward shift of the image discourse. DV has expanded the space and freedom for creating professional videos and has turned the 'author movie' advocated by the 'new wave' into a global reality. The popularization of DV has broken the aristocratic tradition of video making and confirmed its position as a kind of mass media. DV has changed the original image structure and presented video culture in a multi-faceted and multi-colored way. 'Folk image' , made by people of the lowest status, represents the familiar things to ordinary people. The appearance of digital video equipment has facilitated the coming of real-time and interactive communication through images. In the present mainstream of economic diversity, political democratization, educational and artistic popularization, it is quite natural for the art of making images to become something that can be enjoyed by the populace.
