Film theory is a branch of academia often aligned with Marxist critical theory. Its goal is to understand the core and spirit of the cinema and it tries to present a conceptual framework to explain the relationship of film to reality. It also tries to explore the relationship to the viewers and to the rest of society. Film theory is closely related to film criticism and there is a lot of overlap between the two fields.(questia.2013)
Specific scope of film theory can be roughly divided into three areas:
1.The nature of the film, nature, basic features, such as what is the movie, the movie is different from what other qualities of art, language arts movie should be what, exactly how movies and other forms of regularity; (baidu.2013.)
2.Film theory and methods associated with the creation, such as the revolutionary realist film theory, film theory of socialist realism, neo-realism film theory, modernist film theory, "New Left" film theory; (baidu.2013.)
3.Film particular creation theory, such as movie plays theory, theory of film director, film performance theory, cinematography theory.(baidu.2013.)
Film theory, a description of the type of film , and how they affect mental and emotional feelings of the audience. Film theory taking into film production is a very unique art form. It covers discussion and reflection film. Unlike many other theories , film theory gradually created over a hundred years , and have been many opinions and theories. These theories and ideas have been combined into a single movement , with the passage of time and one step at a time , has become a theoretical conceptual framework of the theater .
The purpose of the film is to be added to the theory of critical debate by changing the method of film and film analysis of the movie . It is the number of elements , including philosophy , photography , theater , architecture, painting , noted that the analysis of film theory and film Film Archive need to support them, because if you do not have these files, it is important to be almost an enterprise group is not possible study of history and film theory , and come in any convincing analysis .
In the early stages of film theory , the films are silent and theorists , the main concern is an important element in understanding and definition movies . Theorists have pointed out how the movie is vastly different from the reality , but it can be classified as true art . Many people believe that with the premise , claiming that the essence of the movie lies in the accurate reproduction of reality , rather than distort its capabilities. But film theory until the late 1960s and early 1970s began to conduct research in the halls of academia , and in the process , from the other branches of study , such as gender studies, anthropology, psychoanalysis and literary theory borrowed concepts. Finally in the early 1990s , film theory has achieved such a high status and recognition , it began to replace many of humanities studies in some universities . It replaces an earlier , widely held , the director focused on practical issues theory production, editing and filmmaking . It was not so concerned about filmmaking philosophy insights and understanding.(purdue.2013)
Film is produced human knows the exact time and growth process of art since the 20th century, the rapid development of the huge influence of the media, political, economic, cultural and creative industries Trinity. From the beginning of the 19th century, France, the United States and other parts of the movie inventors have invented a sound recording and restore the light can mimic human eyes and ears of the technology and machines, from the birth of this film technology, entrepreneurship development was become a movie deal, being a politician become ideology, was developed to become the artist of film art, film theory has been developed to become researchers. A history of film development filmmakers also explore the history of movies laws.
Development of film theory can be roughly divided into two major phases: the fifties and sixties of the 20th century tradition of theoretical stage before the fifties and sixties movies and modern theoretical stage after the movie. In traditional film theory stage, the social function of the film, the relationship between film and other arts, film different from other art features and other issues, had become the main object of study.With the traditional emphasis on the individual characteristics of film theory to explore compared to more modern film theory is to put the whole movie to examine the context of human culture, so has the nature of film theory humanities; closed with the traditional methods of film theory compared to modern film theory shows the characteristics of an open, multi-angle using methodology other humanities disciplines, expand multi-level film studies; to explore traditional film and film theory through traditional concepts of art and aesthetics with the general rules than modern film theory through a series of unique concepts and gradually formed to explore the general law of the movie. These are so modern film theory presents a new face.(slideshare.2013)
Film theory once again underwent re-thinking in the 1990s with the introduction of digital imaging. It discussed how this revolution would have an impact on the filmmaking industry and thus film theory. There was a proliferation of new theories, among them one which theorists called "the gaze." It refers to the way the audience views and looks at the film. With the new technology everything became more "real" and the audiences saw things differently. Film theorists began revisiting old films and began analyzing them to see how "the gaze" affected them.(questia.2013)
Another aspect of film theory film criticism, with its emphasis on assessment and analysis of the film, and ask questions about it, to understand the purpose of the film: it teaches nothing special, what is certain parts of the movie is what is meant.
The best way to reflect and analyze the criticism, especially in the film. Film can be an important source of knowledge that can stimulate the thinking process especially with regard to human nature. Film theory and film criticism is all about thinking and understanding of the impact of the film on human nature. Critics will ask questions about the movie and try to understand how it relates to everyday events, if there is one lesson that can teach people things.
Although the film has a historical stage of development of the theory of the process more features, but the direction of using different research methods and theories are always side by side.
In addition to viewing the psychological point of view and from the point of view of art features, but also extensively studied film from the social, political and economic point of view, but the research in these areas has been in the range of film theory.
