Um pensamento sobre o audiovisual, O auto da compadecida de Guel Arraes

Abstract

This dissertation verifies the narrative construction characteristics which allow the mediatic audiovisual production transitate along different media. The study was developed on the audiovisual production called O Auto da Compadecida , an originally TV production made in 1999 and cinematographically edited in 2000, directed by Guel Arraes. Through a descriptive analysis it was possible observe three narrative compounds: the script, the image and editing, used for both television and movie production. The hybridism and multiplicity theories so well structured by Arlindo Machado, Raymond Bellour and Lucia Santaella, as the script and editing theories proposed by Doc Comparato, Syd Field, Graeme Turner, Maria de Fátima Augusto, Ken Dancyger and D. W. Griffith gave the path for the qualitative bibliographic research. This research was fundamental for the reflection of what was considered here as contemporary audiovisual or intermultimidiatic narrative, a production style that gives the product a various media adaptation condition, specially television and cinema, thanks to the experimentalism used on the main narrative compounds. It was also analyzed the use of dramatic cells here defined as stories with beginning, development and end, inserted into the main story, witch can be handled as sketches, composing different editions from the same script and same setting. The research shows its relevancy facing the innovations detected on the recent audiovisual productions, witch are changing the way of understanding the actual audiovisual productions, well defined by its inter-relation between techniques and the media
