纪录片在影视艺术中可以说是最老的形式或品种。对于纪录片的研究,也有长远的历史了。但是,对于中国电视界、电影界来说,探讨纪录片的创作规律的理论研究做得很不够,以致有不少摄制过许多纪录片的人,却自认为对“纪录片是什么”搞不太清楚;教育、理论界也有人甚至认为纪录片没有理论。鉴于此,我们摘编了国际、国内纪录片学术界有代表性的论述。我们删繁就简,不妄加评判,整理出来,供读者参考。 Documentary film and television arts can be said to be the oldest form or variety. There is also a long history of documentary research. However, for the Chinese television and film industry, the theoretical study on the law of documentary writing has not been done sufficiently. As a result, many people who have produced many documentaries think they are not clear about “what is the documentary.” However, Some people in education and theorists even think the documentaries have no theory. In view of this, we extract the excerpts from the international and domestic documentary academic representations. We have simplified and simplified, not jump judge, sorted out, for readers reference.
