Chinese Scientific Educational Film Creation: The Return of the Film Nature

Hongchi HE, Jianping ZHANG

Abstract


Two major debates in the 20th century about what scientific educational films belong ended eventually without any conclusion. So far the debate on whether scientific educational films belong to science or to films or to both science and films still has not come to any conclusion, which seems to be an "absurd war" (in fact, "science" and "film" can not be discussed on the same level). However, the problems reflected are worth our careful thought. This is exactly why Chinese scientific educational films are so withered (although there is some development in the new century, it is only just the beginning). Therefore, we start our discussion from what scientific educational films belong to, and then explore the creation of scientific educational films and put forward some thoughts on it.
Key words: Scientific Educational Film Creation; What Scientific Educational Films Belong To; Story Feature Expression; Blockbuster Production

Resumé: Dans le 20ème siècle, les deux grands films débats sur la nature du film scientifique et éducatif sont infructueuses. Jusqu'à maintenant, on n'a pas de conclusion finale sur le fait s'il faut classer le film scientifique et éducatif dans la famille du film scientifique ou même dans la famille de film. Ce débat semble être un "guerre absurde" ("film scientifique" et "film" ne sont en fait pas dans un même niveau de discussion), mais le problème qu'il reflète est digne d'un examen sérieux. C'est exactement pourquoi le film scientifique et éducatif chinois est en déclin (bien qu'il a connu un développement depuis le nouveau siècle, mais c'est seulement un commencement). Ainsi l'auteur traite d'abord du problème de la nature du film scientifique et éducatif, ensuite il explore la création du film scientifique et éducatif et propose quelques réflexions.
