Features: The core objective of this book is to systematically examine the origins, texture, elements, connotations, forms, and interpretation of cinematic art from the perspective of 21st-century film studies. It aims to deeply grasp the charm of cinema, comprehensively explore its symbolic meanings, and bring increasingly detached film theory back to its roots, making it a solid foundation for film creation and appreciation. The research for this topic is built upon the essence of a century of film theory. Our examination and scrutiny strive to rely on the tortuous development of film art thoughts in both Eastern and Western cultures, sorting and analyzing as objectively as possible, taking into account both the biases of different cultural contexts and their broad significance for film creation. Within the familiar discourse space of film, we endeavor to achieve new breakthroughs and advancements. In terms of argumentation, the first part, "The Nature of Film," primarily explores the artistic qualities of film based on its nature and characteristics. The middle part, "The Creation of Film," focuses on analyzing film forms and structures, elaborating on the process, pathways, and methods of film creation. The final part, "The Analysis of Film,"、、. Through this networked systematic approach, we strive to provide a descriptive and precise perspective on the film text.
