Features: This book is a monograph on film creation. It has three distinctive features: First, it discards the superficial and formal differences among various types of films, differing from similar works, and reorganizes and defines film creation genres from two perspectives: aesthetics (tragedy, comedy, drama) and creative methods (representation, expression). Second, it combines in-depth theoretical discussions with practical creative experiences, integrating both the "metaphysical" and "physical" aspects of film research. Third, it combines targeted theoretical explanations with empirical analyses of related works. It offers both profound academic debates and identifications, as well as detailed analyses of specific film creations, enabling creators and researchers to gain bidirectional insights. Unlike other works, which may rely solely on rational deduction or purely emotional introductions, this book provides a unique approach. It can serve as a textbook for undergraduate and graduate students, a reference book for film theory professionals and creators, and is also suitable for amateur screenwriters, offering systematic theoretical explanations and concrete empirical analyses to help them achieve self-taught success.
