Research on the Perspective of Hosts in Television Personality Special Programs: A Case Study of "Voice"
Abstract
With the development of social and scientific technologies, television special programs have diversified into various types based on style, content, and form. Among these, personality specials are particularly distinctive. As an important component of television specials, these programs focus on depicting real-life individuals and events, aiming to present authentic people and stories while deeply respecting and portraying human nature. The narrative perspective in television personality specials significantly affects the audience's reaction; the relationship between the narrator and the subjects influences the audience’s understanding of the story. This paper uses the program "Voice" as a case study. It is divided into five sections: the first explores the concept of narrative perspective; the second analyzes three common narrative perspectives used by hosts; the third examines the narrative style of the host through program analysis; the fourth discusses the specific narrative perspectives of Sa Beining; and the fifth explains the changes in narrative perspectives in the era of new media and scientific advancement, providing explanations for the corresponding basic concepts.
