| For a long time,the people’s police have borne in mind the mission and faithfully performed their duties.With their hard work,sweat and even precious blood and lives,they have built a solid iron wall to safeguard political security,maintain social stability and guarantee people’s peace.The Party and the State attach great importance to the work of public security and the building of the people’s police force.At the flag presentation ceremony of the Chinese People’s Police,President Xi Jinping,also general secretary of the Communist Party of China(CPC)Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission,put forward the general requirements of public security work in the new era.He emphasized that people’s police must be loyal to the Party,serve the people and be impartial in law enforcement and strict in discipline.Presenting the image of the people’s police in the new era through character documentaries is a key link between the public security organs and the general public for a long time,and an effective window to show the image of state law and order to society.It is of great theoretical and practical value to study the image of the people’s police in the new era character documentary to present the image of the people’s police in the new era,change the traditional impression of the audience about the people’s police,and interpret the historical mission and tasks of the people’s police in the new era.The creators must accurately grasp the changing trends and characteristics of the image of the people’s police in order to present a new-era image of the people’s police in character documentaries that meet the aesthetic needs of the contemporary audience.The thesis takes the image of the people’s police in the new era character documentary as the research object,and uses documentary analysis,textual analysis and comparative study to summarize the characteristics and value significance of the image shaping of the people’s police in the present era by comparing and analyzing the differences between the image of the people’s police before the new era and the new era documentaries.At the same time,concerning the film cases in the industry and the author’s graduation work "The Police and the Dog",the characteristics of the image of the people’s police in the new era character documentaries in terms of audio-visual and narrative are proposed.The thesis consists of four main parts.The first chapter begins with a relevant overview of character documentaries and people’s police image shaping in the new era,defining the concepts of the new era,character documentaries and people’s police image.Secondly,the process of the evolution of the image of the people’s police in China’s character documentaries is sorted out in order to establish the research value of the image shaping of the people’s police.Finally,the image of the people’s police in the character documentary is categorized into the traditional people’s police image and the new era people’s police image by taking the new era as the boundary,so as to clarify the research object of the thesis and conduct the research more specifically.The second chapter discusses the characteristics and value significance of the image shaping of the people’s police in the new era character documentary.The two characteristics presented in the process of shaping the image of the people’s police in the new era are focusing on the real work of the people’s police and highlighting the personal characteristics of the people’s police.These two features make the image of the people’s police continuously de-glamorized,which means that the image of the people’s police enters a period of three-dimensional shaping.At the same time,the significance of the three-dimensional shaping period of the image of the people’s police in the new era is to highlight the duties and missions of the public security organs in the new era,to convey the law enforcement concept of the people’s police team in the new era and to establish advanced models to play a leading role in society.The third chapter explains the narrative characteristics of the image shaping of the people’s police in the new era character documentary: multi-level narrative structure,diversified narrative perspectives and multifaceted conflicts.Firstly,the role of multi-level narrative structure in shaping the image of people’s police in the new era is analyzed and summarized,among which,the ladder structure focuses on the subject’s moving narrative,and the plate structure breaks the time and space to highlight the theme.Secondly,in shaping the image of the people’s police in the new era,the documentary film no longer adopts a single narrative perspective,but combines external perspective,internal perspective and omniscient perspective to present the image of the people’s police in the new era in a diversified way.Finally,the multifaceted conflicts reveal the conflicts faced by individuals with their families,society and environment respectively,allowing the audience to know the people’s police group in terms of life journey and spiritual connotation.The fourth chapter analyzes the audiovisual characteristics of the image building of the people’s police from two aspects: visual and sound respectively.In the visual aspect,the long lens objectively presents the complete process of the people’s police,thus deepening the audience’s knowledge and understanding of the nature of police work;the multi-scene switching provides rich multi-scope information,which plays the role of enriching the "people’s police story";the inner world of the people’s police is shown through the changes of light and shadow.In the sound aspect,the roles of dialect,narration and simultaneous sound in shaping the people’s police are discussed respectively: dialect gives the people’s police regional characteristics,narration interprets the inner quality of the people’s police,simultaneous sound presents the real working state of the people’s police.Through the study of the image shaping of the people’s police in the new era of character documentaries,this thesis finds that the creators of character documentaries begin to find small entry points close to life and social reality,and reshape the new era image of the people’s police with a level-eyed attitude.Presenting the image of the people’s police in the new era has great practical value for the interpretation of their social functions and the construction of social identity.In order to realize this practical value,the creator can start from both narrative and audio-visual aspects,integrate the contemporary characteristics into the image of the people’s police,and shape the image of the people’s police with contemporary and three-dimensional characteristics in all aspects. |
