Audiences say that film is a comprehensive art, while academics believe that film is a unique art. Regardless of whether it is right or wrong, film is indeed an art form that is a collaboration between multiple departments. People use the sensory medium when watching movies, so the language of the film is the audiovisual language, from the sudden train to the emergence of sound films, people's mobilized senses have also developed from a single vision to the comprehensive use of audio-visual, but it is undeniable that composition is still the main form of expression of film, and a concept of fine art is introduced here.

Fine art is the author's creation in film, and it is realized through cameras and film. We know that the creative method of any kind of art is nothing more than realism and freehand, and the role of fine art in film is naturally no exception. The key question is when to be realistic, when to write freehand, how to be realistic, how to write freehand.

In fact, the answer to these four questions is very simple, that is, to see what the author wants to express in the movie, which is a general direction. Under the guidance of this direction, the creation of fine arts naturally has rules to follow. Therefore, here is still a relationship between the whole and the part, the part can not be separated from the whole, and to serve the whole, the whole should always lead the part, and to put forward restrictions on the part.

Now, let's compare the two films so that we can see the role of fine art in the film. The first was the freehand French film Red Balloon. Obviously, in this film, the red balloon itself is symbolic, thus establishing that the style of the film is freehand. In this film, because of the need to highlight the red of the red balloon, it is necessary to avoid using colors that are similar to or influential to red, such as orange, in other places. These colors weaken the viewer's impression of red. The director's design does have the expected effect, and people who have seen the film will have a deep memory of the little red floating in the real space, and then naturally from the red ideal to the author's intention to convey.

In contrast, another film written by Abbas, White Balloon, is a realistic work. There are no brilliant and dazzling colors in the film, in case these colors dominate the story itself. In this way, the film basically shows the original state of life, and using this original state to enlighten the audience is the documentary style of the film.

Color is only one of the forms of expression of fine art, and it does not fully explain the role of fine art in film. A film is a set of flowing pictures in which the function of fine art can be seen, including creating a variety of atmospheres, from sets to the costumes of the actors. At this point, it is time to talk about how to grasp the art of each paragraph.

The film is composed of multiple paragraph units, and the specific treatment of art is not the same. In a movie, realism and freehand may appear separately or at the same time. At this time, just like the exquisite carving of art, art creation also needs to be embodied, such as the environmental lighting when expressing the mood of the characters, which is a freehand style, but the environment in which the character is located is often a realistic style. In The Silence of the Lambs, the heroine's three encounters with the criminals are in prison, but the atmosphere created by the art is very different.

Although fine art plays a very important role in film, we must soberly realize that the creation of fine art and the role it embodies are in the service of the film itself. Overemphasism and over-neglect are not right, the beauty of the film lies in the film itself, and the artistic composition is one of the means to achieve this beauty.

Finally, to conclude with Ingres, "It is nothing more than a court lady, which merely promotes the true perfection of art, so it tends to be particularly charming." This passage talks about the relationship between color and painting, but in the relationship between art and film, the same is true.
