Keywords: TV documentary; Comment; Political films; TV documentary (TV feature film) is a commemorative work with certain authenticity. It uses a series of natural and social primitive forms such as real people, events, environment and scenery to reflect an opinion and emotion that reproduces the objective world and real life or expresses the theme of creation. Different from radio feature films and TV news films, it not only has a long picture, but also includes six creative elements: explanation, music, sound effects, real sound and subtitles.
Screen image is the basis of a film, which has its own language, intuition and sense of image. Commentary is generally attached to the picture, but it is not a simple repetition of the picture. It has a strong complementarity, richness, topicality and rendering effect on the picture. Music exists to match images and explanations, and it is the most expressive. Acoustic effect is a kind of artificial natural sound, which can create a real environment, express people's emotions and refract people's psychology. It is symbolic and has its own value. The actual sound is the natural sound and character language of the shooting scene. Subtitles are used to replace explanatory notes and play a role in prompting and supplementing. The above six creative elements belong to audio-visual language respectively, and * * * together constitute TV language. They are independent on the surface, but they are interdependent. Among the elements of TV documentary creation, explanation is only one of the elements of creating a film. At present, only the comments of political commentary films and amorous feelings films with certain typical significance are analyzed emphatically.
1 political film review
1. 1 Political films have a sense of position.
From a large number of documentaries, we can feel that the explanations of "political films" are generally vivid; Full of words; Language gives people the feeling of being serious, simple, solemn, generous and subjective. At this time, the sense of position needs to move forward and use words to supplement the information that the picture or object lacks, so as to expand the packaging capacity of the film and let the audience understand all the information that the film wants to convey to the audience better and more completely.
1.2 narration can supplement the missing information of the film.
The movie "The Forbidden City" (VI) begins with several houses in the Palace Museum. A white-haired old man is sitting in the room, studying several pieces of broken ceramics carefully, but if you add the explanation in the film, the audience can learn more than that. "This is the south three in the southeast corner of the Palace Museum. This used to be the place where the prince lived and studied in the Forbidden City. The Antiquities Department of the Palace Museum works here. The old man named Geng is 84 years old. He worked in the Forbidden City for nearly 50 years. In these 50 years, his most important job every day is to study porcelain, identify porcelain and touch these porcelain. " With this explanation, we not only know that this is the South Third Hospital in the southeast corner of the Palace Museum, which used to be the place where the Prince lived and studied in the Palace Museum, and the antiquities department of the Palace Museum worked here. The old man with white hair is a porcelain researcher. In view of the lack of information of the explained object in the picture, necessary supplements and additions are made to make the audience accept the meaning that the picture and the object themselves cannot convey and express.
1.3 explains the information content that can be extended.
However, the role of commentary is not only to supplement the information that is lacking in pictures or objects, but also to expand the packaging capacity of films. It also allows the audience to understand the information and knowledge beyond the content of the film while watching the documentary. For example, there was a milky white porcelain bottle with a slender neck and a lantern-shaped body in the film, and the subtitle was "Tang, Yue Kiln, Blue Glazed Octagonal Bottle, Collected by the Palace Museum". If there is no explanation, you can only know a little about its color, appearance, name and background, and you won't have a deeper understanding. Let's take a look at the explanation of this picture and see what information points can be obtained from the explanation. "It is warm jade, it is crystal ice, it is green between mountains and rivers. This is China literati's praise for this kind of porcelain. This is a secret color porcelain. This is the earliest porcelain collected by the Palace Museum today. " How's it going? Does it extend from superficial knowledge to connotation? The function of explanation is mainly to supplement the deficiency of the picture and explain the contents that are difficult to express, not yet expressed or not fully expressed in the picture. This kind of explanation is a necessary supplement to the potential deep ideological and cultural connotation of the explained object and expands the information connotation of the film.

2. 1 The comment position of the genre film feels backward and plays an explanatory role.
On the contrary, because the main body of the amorous feelings film is the picture, in order to let the audience appreciate the picture well, the sense of position of the explanation is backward. For example, a commentary in China Golden Monkey says, "1879, when the famous zoologist Miller Edwards saw this primate specimen collected from China in the Paris Museum of Natural History, he was attracted by its amazing beauty. Especially the snub nose on the light blue cheek of the golden monkey reminds him of1/kloc-0, the commander of the Crusade in the 20th century-the beautiful snub nose wife roxanne, so he named this animal Roxanne. The scientific name of Sichuan golden monkey came from this. " The picture shows a forest foreground. Several cute little monkeys are jumping. Three monkeys are on the tree, one with his back to the tree, and the other two are combing his hair. The picture structure is reasonable, the scenery is pleasant, and with a few cute little monkeys, people can't wait to be in it, feel the beauty of nature and have fun with the cute little monkeys. Therefore, the commentary should not be too much, but only play the role of commentary, so as not to affect the audience's elegant appreciation of the film and usurp the role of the host.
2.2 Narrative Style of Style Films
What is style? That is, the artistic characteristics and artistic personality of a work. Different artistic creators, because of their different personalities, thoughts, experiences and artistic qualities, have their own characteristics in controlling themes and genres, using expression techniques and using language. Paying attention to style is an important symbol of the maturity of writers and works. In the explanation of amorous feelings films, the way of "saying" is more appropriate, the speech speed is slow, the language is stable, the emotion is indifferent, it is taken out of context, the priority is clear, and the explanation is powerful. These are not only for people to hear clearly, but also for the audience to listen comfortably and better appreciate the pleasant scenery in the film with the picture.
2.3 Style film explanation way
In the explanation of amorous feelings films, some rhetorical devices are often used in order to establish a mature and distinctive language environment, serve the theme and leave an associative space for the audience. In a romantic film, the subject is the picture, and the role of explanation is to embellish the subject and add color to the picture. The sense of position should be backward, and don't usurp the role of the master.
3 location of commentary
Through the analysis of the commentary of political commentary films and amorous feelings films, we can think that the commentary of TV documentaries is different from radio broadcasting and the dubbing of TV news films. Generally speaking, compared with radio news broadcast, the voice is lower, the intensity is stronger, the gas is more flexible, and the language is more free and changeable. Compared with TV news film dubbing, it is more artistic, skillful and expressive. Commentary is a kind of language, which is the refinement and sublimation of general text description. It should be noted that in TV documentary commentary, according to the function and needs of the commentary, sometimes the sense of position moves forward and sometimes the sense of position retreats, which is directly related to the discretion of the commentary and the cooperation with the screen language. For example, the explanation of "political films" generally has a strong voice and breath; Full of words; Language gives people the feeling of being serious, simple, solemn, generous and subjective. At this time, the sense of position needs to move forward and use words to supplement the information that the picture or object lacks, so as to expand the packaging capacity of the film and let the audience understand all the information that the film wants to convey to the audience better and more completely. On the other hand, the explanation of "amorous feelings film" is just the opposite, and its voice is generally light, beautiful and soft; Soft and long; The rhythm is light and slow; The language is kind and sweet, and the tone is soft and sincere. At this time, the sense of position needs to be retired, and the explanation only plays the role of rendering. More importantly, let the audience feel the language of the picture and enjoy the movie. However, whether it is a "political film" or an "erotic film", the purpose of comments is the same. It is the interpretation of physical objects and images. Based on objects and images, it can play the role of connection and transformation, and use words to supplement the information that pictures or objects lack. The combination of picture and explanation realizes the function of documentary to convey ideas, express themes and reflect reality. Documentary pictures need to rely on words to describe and narrate things, events or people, and infect the audience by rendering words, so that people can further deepen their cognition and feelings while knowing and understanding what they are talking about, and play the role of interaction, complementarity and mutual citation.
So the pictures and explanations of TV documentaries are the relationship between "fish" and "water". Commentary serves the picture, but it is much more flexible than the picture. The same picture can be accompanied by different explanations, but the purpose is the same. It is the interpretation of objects and images, based on which words are used to supplement the missing information of pictures or objects. The picture is the interpretation of the commentary, which is better integrated with the commentary, improves the ideological and artistic quality of the documentary, and enables the audience to achieve the perfect combination of vision and hearing.
