《西双版纳傣族农奴社会》的电影创作分析

An Analysis of Film Creation of The Serfdom Society of the Dai Ethnic Group in Xishuangbanna

将《西双版纳傣族农奴社会》放置到“少数民族社会历史科学纪录片”产生的特定背景中,通过对该影片所基于的西双版纳傣族社会历史调查与研究、影片拍摄提纲的撰写过程、影片拍摄提纲与影片的比较、当地文化持有者的场面调度等几方面的观察,尝试分析影片的整个摄制情况。与众多“少数民族社会历史科学纪录片”相比,该影片以复原拍摄为主要手段,综合运用动画、图表、字幕等影像方式,呈现出强烈的论文电影特征,影片对傣族社会制度与上层建筑的着力用笔也是众多少数民族社会历史科学纪录片中所未见的。

Placing The Serfdom Society of the Dai Ethnic Group in Xishuangbanna within the specific context of the production of science documentaries of ethnic minority society and history,this paper undertakes an analysis of the entire production process of the film through an investigation into the social and historical contexts of the Dai ethnic group in Xishuangbanna upon which the film is based,detailing the formulation of shooting outlines,a comparison between shooting outlines and the film itself,as well as on-site filming and mise-en-scène.In comparison with numerous ethnographic films,this particular film mainly adopted a“reenactment filming”approach,and integrated various visual techniques such as animation,charts,and subtitles.Its meticulous portrayal of social systems and superstructures is rarely observed in other ethnographic films.
