Image Narration and Value Expression: A Research on Documentary Study of Chinese Low-class People

Abstract

As the marginal population in society, the underclass people are “the weak” in all social classes. The underclass people documentaries take the underclass people as the object, and they tell people’s story, reflect realistic problems and deliver social value by means of sound-image language. The development process of underclass people documentaries is divided into preliminary development stage, rapid development stage and diversified development stage. The underclass people documentaries write the images for the underclass people, draw a picture of the underclass people and form unique image narration features, thus expressing profound humanistic and historical value, allowing the underclass people documentaries to become an effect channel of recording marginal population’s living state and solving social security issues, and providing a new idea for creation and development of the underclass people documentaries.
