盛大狂欢中的平淡光影--2017年中国电影摄影创作述评

The Retrogression of Image Quality: A Review of Cinematography in 2017 Chinese Films

2017年是中国电影丰收的一年,无论在影片票房、生产数量还是全国银幕总数等方面都取得了令人欣喜的突破。然而,在这些振奋人心的数字背后,中国电影的整体质量和影像品质仍然不容乐观,特别是摄影造型水准总体呈倒退趋势。在数字技术发展的潮流中,有相当一部分影片利用电影数字化的较低门槛粗制滥造,失去了电影摄影的艺术表现力和影像的电影本体魅力。只有少数影片展现出影像表达的新鲜之处及诚意所在,这些点点星光照亮着今年电影的摄影之路。

2017 is a year of good harvest for Chinese films. It has made a joyful breakthrough in the box office, production volume and the total number of screens in China. However, behind these inspiring figures, the overall quality and image quality of Chinese films are still in a low level, especially the level of photography which has presented a trend of retrogression. The development of digital technology creates a low doorsill for film making, which results in a considerable number of shoddy films that lose the artistic expressiveness of the film photography and the charm of the film noumenon. Only a few films show the freshness and sincerity of the image, which represent the quality of cinematography in 2017 Chinese films.
