Refusing 'screen photography' should become a consensus in movie watching
2024-11-21
On November 20th, director Shao Yihui of "Good Things" called on the audience on Weibo to "refuse screen filming and watch movies in a civilized manner". This initiative has received positive response and support from the majority of netizens. She stated in the Weibo post that the effects of mobile screen photography are "ugly, distorted, faded, and deformed," and said, "I believe every film and television worker does not want their works to be recorded like this." Screen photography, which refers to the act of viewers using mobile phones and other devices to capture screen images during the viewing process, may seem insignificant, but it has had a profound negative impact on the film industry. It not only interferes with the viewing experience of other viewers, but also significantly reduces the quality of the images captured by mobile phones compared to the movie itself, making it impossible to showcase the beauty and delicacy of the movie. The dissemination of screen photography is a violation of film copyright and a trampling on the hard work and creative achievements of film creators. Every screen shot is a violation of the viewing rights of the surrounding audience and a disregard for public viewing etiquette. To ensure the viewing effect and create the best viewing atmosphere, cinemas will deliberately maintain a dark environment inside the theater. However, the bright light emitted by the mobile phone screen during screen shooting disrupts the viewing environment of the cinema, disturbs the viewing rhythm of other viewers, and makes the immersive feeling of watching completely disappear. In addition, raising the phone screen camera often blocks the view of the rear row audience, depriving them of their right to watch movies normally. The visual effect presented by the mobile phone screen camera is far from the original appearance of the carefully crafted film, which greatly distorts the quality of the film. As director Shao Yihui once said, "We have worked hard and painstakingly to create images that are carefully coordinated with photography, lighting, setting, and performance. The ugly, distorted, faded, and deformed effects on the phone screen make me feel really heartbroken." The birth of a high-quality film cannot be separated from the exquisite craftsmanship of every shot, which requires the perfect coordination of lighting, scenery, performance, photography, and sound reception. Any small mistake by a crew member could lead to the entire filming process starting over. Therefore, every film work embodies the hard work and sweat of countless staff members, and screen photography is undoubtedly a derogation and desecration of their labor achievements. Legally speaking, screen photography violates the copyright of movies. According to Article 10 of the Copyright Law of the People's Republic of China, copyright includes the right of reproduction, which refers to the right to make one or more copies of a work by printing, copying, rubbing, recording, recording, transcribing, remaking, digitizing, or other means. Screen filming of unreleased movies in cinemas is essentially an illegal reproduction of the film work, which violates the reproduction rights of the film copyright owner. If screen photography becomes rampant, the copyright of film creators will face serious threats, and their creative enthusiasm will also be severely affected, which is not conducive to the sustained and healthy development of the film industry. Refusing "screen photography" should become a consensus in movie watching. Adhering to the principle of non screen photography is the most basic moral literacy and a fundamental obligation that should be fulfilled. When enjoying the audio-visual feast brought by movies, instead of picking up your phone to record, it's better to fully immerse yourself in watching the movie and keep this beauty in your heart. Only in this way can the labor achievements of every film and television worker be respected, and the rights and interests of film creators be fully protected, thereby inspiring unlimited creative enthusiasm among filmmakers and promoting Chinese films to continuously move towards higher levels.
