红色影像的审美空间——以纪录片《惊涛》为例探讨视听语言的创新与突破

The Aesthetic Space of Red Images:Exploration on the Innovation and Breakthrough of Audio-Visual Language with the Documentary A Spark of Light in Xiaodian as an Example

2021年是中国共产党成立100周年,从中央到地方,从报纸到电视,从互联网到自媒体,都纷纷推出建党百年重大主题的创作和报道。在这样的背景下,小体量党史纪录片如何才能从海量的红色影像中脱颖而出,是一个值得探讨的问题。以往此类纪录片为了不损害党史的严肃性和准确性,往往有意无意地规避掉很多故事与细节、情感与个性,以史实性、史料性为主要诉求。而《惊涛》的创作,则完全摒弃了党史类纪录片“以画面加解说”或“以解说贴画面”的传统手法,从“重构人物与故事、以青春为底色、注重氛围的营造”三个方面寻找突破点和创新点,有效拓展了纪录片的审美空间,具有极强的独特性和辨识度。该文以《惊涛》为例,从创作者视角出发探讨小体量党史纪录片的创作方法,提出了多种创新思路,对党史纪录片的创作有一定借鉴价值。

The year of 2021 is the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China.From the central government to local governments,from newspapers to television,from the Internet to we-media,everyone has launched creations and reports on major themes of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Party.In this context,how small-scale Party history documentaries can stand out from the massive red images is a question worth exploring.In the past,in order not to damage the seriousness and accuracy of Party history,such documenta-ries often intentionally or unintentionally avoided many stories and details,emotions and personalities,and fo-cused on historical facts and historical materials.The creation of A Spark of Light in Xiaodian completely aban-doned the traditional method of“using pictures and explanations”or“using explanations to put pictures”in Party history documentaries,and found breakthrough points and innovation points from the three aspects of“recon-structing characters and stories,using youth as the background,and focusing on atmosphere”,having effectively expanded the aesthetic space of the documentary and gained strong uniqueness and recognition.Taking A Spark of Light in Xiaodian as an example,this paper explores the creation methods of small-scale Party history docu-mentaries from the perspective of the creator,and proposes a variety of innovative ideas,which has certain refer-ence value for the creation of Party history documentaries.
