Abstract
Film, rooted in technology, possesses unique aesthetic characteristics that are intertwined with technological advancements. Since the beginning of the new century, the integration of digital technology has facilitated a seamless transition of film art from production to distribution, ushering in a new era of digital film aesthetics. This paper focuses on investigating the relationship between digital technology and film art, clarifying the developmental origins of both, and using the degree of digital technology’s integration into film art as a starting point. By examining classic digital film texts, the paper explores the reshaping of various aspects of film production through the application of digital technology. Based on film aesthetic theories, this paper aims to deconstruct traditional film aesthetics through the lens of digital film, making meaningful attempts to establish the aesthetic framework for Chinese digital film art.
