Scene Narrates In Scriptwriting

"Scene narrates" is a narrating method which makes text creation of films and television plays different from other literary creation and the key factor determining whether a film and television plays is successful or not as well. We could find the important narrative function of "scene", no matter in Shakespeare’s widespread dramatic works or the classic films and television plays which set high box office present-day. It is determined by films and television plays’own characteristics. Audiences have to appreciate works in limited time and space, while playwrights have to narrate by image elements in realistic space. Therefore, just like periods of the symphony, each scene in a work has to change tunes constantly around a theme within certain period of time so as to stimulate audiences’feelings. Scripts, as it were, is a narrative style which "telling stories" by using scene. Playwrights arrange various kinds of image elements into certain time and space in causal relationships, forming unique atmosphere, artistic style and theme emotions of the works. The structure of "scene" determines audiences’ appreciation and emotion experience directly. However, the theory history of drama creation don’t pay enough attention to "scene" narrates, which makes the creation of films and television plays and critical ideas depend on literary creation, blurring the boundaries between the two and hampering artistic innovations of films and television plays. Screenplays are mainly quoted in the thesis to analyze the expended ways and laws of its plot, discussing narrating theories, general types and aesthetic principles of "scene"; analyzing the narrative theme and form representation of a "scene"; interpreting general form logic of drama in forming "scene". The thesis makes a summary and conclusion to the narrating techniques of "scene" on the basis of previous studies, in order to have a positive effect on the creation and criticism of films and television plays and make up for the weaknesses of works’"telling stories", with the hope to make the creators’artistic ideals presented better.
