Features: A Preliminary Exploration of Film and Television Criticism attempts to start with the conceptual analysis of film and television criticism, helping readers understand the relevant concepts, types, and writing characteristics of film and television criticism. Then, it combines classic works from the history of a century of film and television art to analyze the aesthetic qualities of film and television audiovisual language. Next, it explains the basic theoretical generation of the three major types (realism, modernism, and postmodernism in film and television art) and the corresponding film movements and reflections within the works. Finally, it returns to the analysis of examples of film and television criticism, demonstrating a epistemological approach of moving from the surface to the inside, from the shallow to the deep, and a lifelong mindset of continuously recognizing and understanding things. During the specific discussion, the author also shares some personal views on Chinese film and television phenomena and works. It is hoped that this book can provide readers with practical help in better understanding and appreciating film and television works, as well as in specifically carrying out the writing of film and television criticism.
