电影镜头叙述中的符号指示性

On the Indexicality of Shots in Film Narratives

电影文本中最基本的视觉叙述单元--镜头--通过对影像元素的选择与规范,完成文本的发送及与观影者的交流。反之,观影者对电影的理解,应该始于对镜头视觉语法的分析。在电影叙述的展开过程中,镜头通过打破我们的常规视觉语法,以非常规视觉感知方式,成为观影者思维展开的方向指示。如通过拍摄距离的设置,机位角度的调整以及焦点的选择等,镜头使电影成为一个有着意义向度的文本。

As the most fundamental element of film narrative, shots facilitate the sending of the film text and communication with the film receivers through manipulation of visual images on screen. Receivers of the film, understandably, should begin with the analysis of shots. This paper, with the indexicality of shots as its focus, summarizes the cognitive impact on the receivers from a semioitc perspective, lending a better understanding of the narrative functions of shots.
