On The Creation Of The Intangible Cultural Heritage Documentary Time Sculptor From The Perspective Of Reception Aesthetics

Reception aesthetics is an aesthetic school founded by German literary theorists and aestheticians Hans Robert Jauss and Wolfgang Iser in the 1960 s.It advocates that the author should deeply analyze the readers’ inner value needs and raise questions from the perspective of the audience.It pays great attention to the aesthetic experience and quality of readers in literary and artistic appreciation activities.The theory of reception aesthetics places the reader in the highest position in the creation of literary works and attaches great importance to the needs of the audience in the process of reading.With the broadening of access to information and the accelerated integration of global culture,the audience’s aesthetic level and aesthetic expectations are constantly improving,which is both an opportunity and a challenge for film and television industry practitioners.Meeting the expectations of the audience and creating high-quality works have become the most important issues in the creation of film and television works in the new era.Intangible cultural heritage is a bright pearl in the long history of the Chinese nation,and also a concentrated reflection of the wisdom of the working people.With the development and progress of society,many intangible cultural heritage skills are facing the impact of survival dilemma.Non-legacy documentaries combine traditional skills with film and television arts,which is a form of communication that uses narrative strategies,audio-visual language and other means to record non-legacy crafts completely,and plays an important role in protecting and inheriting intangible cultural heritage.In recent years,the state has paid more and more attention to the protection of intangible cultural heritage,and non-heritage documentaries also occupy the core position in today’s documentary types.However,the current research focuses on content creation,narrative structure,audio-visual language,characterization and other aspects,but few from the perspective of the audience.This paper will be based on the theory of reception aesthetics,combined with his graduation work "Time Sculptor",to provide new inspiration for the creation of non-legacy documentaries,and strive to expand its research space.The text is divided into five parts.The introduction explains the research background,research status,research methods and significance of this paper,and clarifies the importance of using reception aesthetics as the theoretical support of this paper.The first chapter introduces the definition of non-legacy documentary and reception aesthetics,and combs the development of non-legacy documentary and reception aesthetics in China.The second chapter focuses on the narrative strategy of non-legacy documentary from the perspective of reception aesthetics,combining personal works with the theory of "horizon of expectation" in reception aesthetics,and analyzing how to meet the audience’s inner expectations from three aspects of narrative content,image construction and narrative significance.Based on the "calling structure" theory of reception aesthetics,the third chapter discusses the audio-visual expression of non-legacy documentaries from the perspective of "blank" and "negation".In the last chapter,the author summarizes the problems found in the creation of personal works and the thoughts caused by them.Based on the theory of reception aesthetics and my personal work The Sculptor of Time,this paper discusses the communication structure characteristics and creative value of non-heritage documentaries from the perspectives of practical creation and theoretical analysis,and provides some constructive suggestions for the creation of non-heritage documentaries in the future through relevant discussions and reflections.
