| The theory of Life aesthetics appeared in the field of Chinese philosophy and aesthetics in the 80 s of the 20 th century,first proposed by Chinese scholar Zhichang Pan,which is based on "all things are one benevolence",and is based on the way of existence of Life and the Life needs of the subject as the aesthetic starting point to study the fundamental meaning of Life activities;From the perspective of human being,Xiaolun Feng proposed that Life is a three-fold beings system composed of biological being,spiritual being and social being,and since then has constituted an aesthetic theory system that interprets itself with the essential stipulation that "the essence of human is being".Film and television art is one of the most representative forms of human aesthetics in modern society,and documentary films,because of their authenticity of material sources compared with other audiovisual arts,make them have a unique charm that cannot be replaced by other types of film and television media in the function of transmitting information to the audience.The ultimate concern for human life emphasized in life aesthetics and the genuine and simple humanistic concern in the creation of documentary works are similar.I concludes that most of the current research on the creation of documentaries on the theme of the elderly is based on the documentary works on the theme of the elderly themselves or the elderly characters in the documentary works on the theme of the elderly as the main research object,and only a small part of the content will involve the research on the aesthetic speculation of the creative subjects.From the perspective of life,there has been no research on the aesthetic speculation among the subjects,objects and results of artistic creation of documentaries about the elderly.As a large group of people who have risen sharply in the number of society in recent years,their living conditions and life perception should be different from those of other periods,From the perspective of life aesthetics,the speculation on the creation of documentaries about the elderly is also the theoretical enrichment of the aesthetic speculation on the creation of future documentaries.I integrated the aesthetics of Life speculation in the process of creating his graduation work "Life In Old Age",and at the same time wrote my dissertation,this article mainly consists of six parts,the first chapter of the introduction mainly discusses the current situation of aging in China and the purpose and significance of the creation of documentary films on the theme of aging from the perspective of Life aesthetics;The second chapter summarizes the basic characteristics and creation status of Life aesthetics and age-related documentaries by collecting data,sorting and summarizing;The third chapter is the creation and elaboration of the graduation work "Life In Old Age";Chapters 4 and 5 conduct a more detailed analysis of the author’s graduation works in terms of narrative strategy and image construction,and deeply explore the similarities between Life aesthetics and documentary narratives on the theme of old age.In Chapter 6,a summary and outlook of research and creation is carried out. |
