Research On The Construction Of Historical Memory In Humanistic Historical Documentaries

The evolution of history rolls forward like a tidal wave.History does not stand still,but it may repeat itself。 Therefore,it is an important subject to take history as a mirror and a teacher.As time goes by,history is lost in the flood of years,and the knowledge of historical reality gradually declines,it is especially important to excavate and protect historical memory,and to inherit and promote the humanistic spirit.Documentaries on humanities and history are based on historical facts,using their own creative advantages to visualize historical memories,improve the historical discourse system,reproduce historical images,and realize the construction and dissemination of historical memories,while focusing on the inheritance of humanistic spirit and traditional culture.Therefore,the topic of "Research on the construction of historical memory in humanities and history documentaries" has a very broad research space,important practical significance and research value.Combining my own graduation practice,based on the memory theory and the related theoretical basis of film and television semiotics,this thesis uses the literature research method,comparative analysis method and practical research method to explore the construction of historical memory in the documentary film of humanities and history from three aspects: the exploration of historical memory,symbol carrier and audio-visual presentation.At the same time,the thesis combines theoretical research with the creative experience of the graduation project,providing practical support for theoretical research and enriching the relevant content of theoretical research.The thesis mainly consists of four parts.In the introduction and the first chapter,this thesis composes the background,significance and current situation of research on the construction of historical memory of human history documentaries,as well as the definition of related concepts and theoretical foundation.The second chapter discusses how to grasp the feasibility and wholeness of creation and how to give authenticity and artistry to historical discourse through the analysis of "approaching history" and "entering history".By reviewing materials and field research."Through in-depth communication with the witnesses(those who experienced history and their descendants)and people who can retell history(those who researched history and those who were informed),as well as the creator’s in-depth integration of known information,the documentary film’s theme is refined." The first step of the process is to refine the theme of the documentary and write the narration.The third chapter,based on the relevant theories of film and television semiotics,combs the carrier of historical memory-symbols.By citing the three concepts of "phenomenal world","imaginary world" and "symbolic world",it combs the symbols presenting historical memory into three levels: material symbols,image symbols and consciousness symbols.The material symbols of "phenomenal world" include historical places,historical relics and historical figures;The image symbols of the "imaginary world" include real recorded images,film and television remake materials,and scene reproduction;The consciousness symbols of the "symbolic world" include personal memory and collective memory,and the construction of historical memory in humanities and historical documentaries relies on the excavation and presentation of these three types of symbols.The fourth chapter discusses the final creation and expression of historical memory construction by means of the artistic presentation of audio-visual elements and by combining with my own creative experience.In terms of visual elements,we analyze the design of scenery and composition in the filming process to reproduce the real historical space,and the use of color and light to build the artistic sense of historical images;in the post-production process,we create the rhythm of historical images through screen editing,and use animation special effects to reproduce historical images.In the post-production process,the rhythm of historical images is created through screen editing,and the recreation of historical images is realized through the use of animation special effects.The thesis systematically composes the construction of historical memory in humanities and history documentaries,from the preliminary research and copywriting work,to the selection of symbolic carriers,and then to the final audiovisual presentation,in order to ensure the authenticity of historical memory,enrich its means of expression,highlight its artistic value,provide artistic carriers for the retention of historical memory and the transmission of historical culture,and provide valuable reference and reference for the creation of humanities and history documentaries.It also provides valuable reference and reference for the creation of human history documentaries.
