O presente trabalho tenta entender o roteiro do filme Contra a Parede (2004), de Fatih Akin, como texto dramático, buscando não apenas contribuir para os estudos do roteiro cinematográfico na área de Letras, mas também na área de Cinema. São enfoques distintos em suas especificidades, mas complementares. Entendido como texto dramático, o roteiro em questão apresenta características típicas da tragédia. Sendo assim, analisamos os personagens principais enquanto personagens dramáticos, o coro e a estrutura desse roteiro, a partir de cenas selecionadas. Interessa-nos em especial a questão da redenção dos protagonistas Cahit e Sibel. Para nos ajudar no substrato teórico, recorremos aos estudos de Aristóteles, Nietzsche, Bordwell, Jaspers e Romilly. / This paper aims to understand the script of the film Head-On (2004), by Fatih Akin, as a dramatic text, seeking not only to contribute to screenplay studies in the field of writing, but also in the field of cinema, for these are different yet complementary approaches. Understood as a dramatic text, the script in question presents features that are typical of the tragedy. Thus, we analyze the main characters as dramatic characters, the chorus and the structure of the script, from selected scenes. We are particularly interested in the matter of redemption of the main characters Cahit and Sibel. To help us in theoretical basis, we turn to the study of Aristotle, Nietzsche, Bordwell, Jaspers and Romilly.

Esta pesquisa situa-se no campo das criações artísticas interdisciplinares, envolvendo as relações entre teatro e cinema. Seu objetivo é explorar as possibilidades de contribuição entre essas duas artes a fim de destacar possíveis intercâmbios de procedimentos criativos entre as diferenças de suas especificidades de linguagem. De um lado, há a colaboração da improvisação teatral como um dispositivo de composição de um roteiro de cinema. Do outro, há as metodologias do set de filmagem como um gatilho de criação cênica. Assim, intenciona-se a construção de uma escritura cênica a partir de improvisações. Esta propõe-se a não ser exclusivamente teatral e a ter um potencial cinematográfico. O corpus de análise desta investigação é a elaboração de um experimento cênico e de um curta-metragem híbridos, ambos gerados em um processo colaborativo. A metodologia de pesquisa dá-se em três etapas. Primeiramente o desenvolvimento será calcado no estudo das especificidades de ambas linguagens, nutrido por ideias de teóricos do campo das artes cênicas como Walter Benjamin, Patrice Pavis e Roland Barthes, assim como por teóricos do campo do cinema, tais como André Bazin, Cristian Metz e Susan Sontag. A segunda etapa, de caráter empírico, dará origem ao corpus de análise da pesquisa e será realizada no período de seis meses. Chamada de Experimento Interdisciplinar, a prática contou com o elenco de cinco atores e uma equipe de diretores convidados e contemplou a produção de um experimento cênico e de um curta-metragem. A terceira etapa apoia-se na análise do experimento interdisciplinar e de seus resultados. / This research is situated on the field of interdisciplinary artistical creations involving the relationship between theater and cinema. Its goal is to explore the possibilities of contribution between these two arts in order to highlight possible interchanges of creative procedures between the differences in their language specificities. On one side, there is the collaboration of theatrical improvisation as a composition device for a movie script. On the other side, there are the filming set methodologies as a scenic creation trigger. Therefore, a scenic scripture is intended to be built from improvisations. This is proposed not to be exclusively theatrical and to have a cinematographic potential. The body of analysis of this investigation is the elaboration of a hybrid scenic experiment and a short movie, both generated in a collaborative process. The research methodology is given in three stages. First the development will be centered in the study of both languages’ specificities, nurtured by ideas from theorists of the scenic arts field, such as Walter Benjamin, Patrice Pavis and Roland Barthes, as well as by theorists from the cinema field, such as André Bazin, Cristian Metz and Susan Sontag. The second stage, of empirical character, will give birth to the body of analysis of the research and will be performed in the period of six months. Named “Interdisciplinary Experiment”, the practice is supported by a casting of five actors and a team of guest directors and has contemplated the production of a scenic experiment and a short movie. The third stage leans on the analysis of the interdisciplinary experiment and its results.

The objective is to identify and understand the forms and possible particularities of these texts. The development of the study is based on three axes. In the first one, a theoretical reading of the scripts is performed, focusing on the diversity of looks and considering what the practical manuals say about them. In sequence, we present a historical notion of the screenplays, considering the silent era of cinema and the transition to the spoken cinema. Leaving the North American scene, the moment is taken to deal with specificities of the Brazilian scenario, based on articles written for the magazines O fan, A cena muda e Cinearte. Finally, we study scripts published in these same journals, adopting as a technique the critical analysis of these texts. It was tried to understand what were the characteristics of the Brazilian cinematographic writing of the 1920s and 1930s. In thinking the scripts as historical objects, this research encourages new studies on the subject, observing the scarcity of this discussion in the academic scope. The research also concludes that the Brazilian scripts of this period were directly related to North American writing standards, despite having specific traits and experimentation. / A pesquisa se propõe a estudar roteiros brasileiros das décadas de 1920 e 1930, através de publicações realizadas nas revistas O fan, A cena muda e Cinearte. Tem-se como objetivo identificar e compreender quais eram as formas e as possíveis particularidades desses textos. O desenvolvimento do estudo se dá com base em três eixos. No primeiro deles é realizada uma leitura teórica do que são roteiros, prezando pela diversidade de olhares e considerando também o que os manuais práticos dizem acerca deles. Em sequência, apresentamos uma noção histórica dos roteiros, levando em consideração o período do cinema mudo e da transição para o cinema falado. Saindo do cenário norteamericano, aproveita-se o momento para tratar de especificidades do cenário brasileiro, com base em artigos escritos para as revistas O fan, A cena muda e Cinearte. Por fim, estudamos roteiros publicados nessas mesmas revistas, adotando como técnica a análise crítica desses textos. Buscou-se compreender quais eram as características da escrita cinematográfica brasileira das décadas de 1920 e 1930. Ao pensar os roteiros como objetos históricos, esta pesquisa incentiva novos estudos sobre o tema, observando a escassez dessa discussão no âmbito acadêmico. A pesquisa também conclui que os roteiros brasileiros desse período estavam diretamente ligados aos padrões de escrita norte-americanos, apesar de possuírem traços específicos e de experimentação.

A presente pesquisa tem como objeto a figura do autor-roteirista relacionado ao âmbito do universo transmídia da ficção televisiva no Brasil. Partimos da hipótese de que a ação do autor-roteirista em todas as dimensões da criação de conteúdo transmídia da ficção televisiva brasileira é viável, possível e recomendável. Assim, compreendemos que esse autor-roteirista detém poder aglutinador inicial para estabelecer estratégias mais criativas para gerar produtos ficcionais com uma dimensão simbólica superior à sua dimensão material. As histórias, ou seja, as narrativas da ficção televisiva brasileira, por sua expressividade inerente, possuem potencialidade de circulação e redundância muito maior e mais expressiva se forem, num primeiro momento, assumidas e disseminadas por autores-roteiristas. Para alcançar nossos objetivos, elaboramos uma estratégia metodológica que envolveu recursos qualitativos de tratamento de dados e nos valemos de alguns conceitos e operacionalizações do método etnográfico, particularmente da etnografia virtual. Trabalhando com um universo de investigação de teor relacional, coletamos através de pesquisa bibliográfica clássica, de textos acadêmicos na internet, além de sua extensão para textos e materiais não acadêmicos. Aplicamos um questionário on-line em pesquisa do tipo survey, a fim de obtermos dados primários sobre as formas de trabalho relativas ao conteúdo transmídia (conceito) entre autores-roteiristas (população-alvo). Desenvolvemos, também, um método de quadros sintético-analíticos que serviram de base para o escalonamento de autores, desde os mais teóricos até os mais práticos. Entre os principais resultados, destacamos a possibilidade de criar diálogo entre autores-roteiristas e teorias recentes relacionadas à profissão e identificamos algumas obras de ficção televisiva brasileira que exibem notadamente essas características autorais em suas extensões transmídia / The following research has as its study object the figure of the author-screenwriter relating to the transmedia universe of Brazilian television fiction. The research starts from the hypothesis that the author-screenwriter acting in all dimensions of creating transmedia content is something viable, possible and recommended. Thus, it\'s comprehensible that the authorscreenwriter has initial agglutinative power to stablish more creative strategies to generate fictional products with a superior symbolic dimension than its material dimension. Stories, that is, fictional narratives in Brazilian television, by having inherent expression, have the potential of larger and more expressive circulation and redundancy if they were, at first glance, created and disseminated by the author-screenwriter. To reach the objectives of the research, we developed a methodological strategy that used qualitative methods of data analysis and used concepts and operations common to the ethnographic method, more specifically of virtual ethnography. While investigating related content, we collected data through a classic bibliographic research; internet bibliographic research and research of articles and other non-academic materials. We created and applied an online survey which had the objective of discovering the work methods that related to transmedia content (concept) between authors-screenwriters (target population). We developed, also, a method of syntheticanalytic studies that served as base for the scaling of authors, from the most theory-based to the practical-based. Among the main results, we highlight the possibility of the creation of dialog between authors-screenwriters about recent theories related to the profession and identified some works of Brazilian television fiction that notably exhibit those authorial characteristics on its transmedia extensions.

This paper details the making of Stray Cats, a University of New Orleans thesis film. It examines the process of creating the film in three parts. Part one will detail the pre-production, including the conceptualization, writing, and preparation for the project. Part two will cover the production, including the directing, production design, cinematography, and on-set operations. Part three will describe the post-production process, including the editing, color correction, sound design, and musical score. These three components will then be referenced in regards to the theme of the film, and will conclude by analyzing whether or not the final film achieves the initial vision.

Depuis une vingtaine d’années, le scénario américain s’est imposé comme modèle du scénario de fiction auprès des acteurs de la production de cinéma et de télévision pour sa performance et sa rationalité narratives. Conçu pour assurer au film de fiction le maximum de chance de succès, il subordonne la création audiovisuelle à un dispositif narratif assurant l’identification du spectateur et sa satisfaction émotionnelle. Or, eu égard à une ambition artistique du cinéma, sa légitimité est problématique. La présente recherche développe une alternative à la formalisation narrative du film à travers un mode de scénarisation qui subordonne la narration au discours filmique. L’identification au personnage y compte moins que l’expression d’une vision-audition du monde. / Since about twenty years, the American screenplay stood out as model of the script of fiction into cinema and TV production for its narrative performance and its rationality. Designed to insure public success to fiction movies, it subordinates the audiovisual creation to the narrative device, insuring identification of the spectator and its emotional satisfaction. But, in consideration of the artistic ambition of the cinema, its legitimacy is problematic. The present research develops an alternative in the narrative formalization of the movie through a mode of « scénarisation » which subordinates the story to the cinematic discourse. The identification of spectator to the character matters there less than the expression of a vision-hearing of the world.

This practice-led PhD project consists of two sections: the first examines a breakdown of the components of film genre to be used as practical guideposts for my own creative practice as a screenwriter and (hopefully in the future) for other screenwriters; the second section contains my practical application – first acts of three screenplays that are constructed utilizing my research and subsequent assessments. Using a theoretic construct presented in the area of philosophy in the 1990s by cognitive theorist Gilles Fauconnier called ‘mental space’, a concept exploring a person’s natural inclination to construct a comprehensible idealized cognitive model (ICM) of any given situation in order to understand his or her role in it (Fauconnier 1994:8), I examine how Fauconnier’s concept can be applied to building a film narrative and specifically how it can be applied to a screenwriter’s understanding and breaking down of the components of film genre. I also employ the work of scholars focused on the audience’s reception, especially the reception of film genre. In the practical section of my practice-led PhD, the writing of the first acts of three screenplays that share location, similar core cast of characters and plot points but are constructed in three distinctly different film genres (western, horror, romantic comedy), I endeavor to apply elements I have termed the ‘mental space of film genre’ in order to determine the adjustments and changes necessary to move narrative from one genre to another in order to fulfill various genre perimeters and genre expectations. This work is meant to increase a screenwriter’s technical skills in the craft of screenwriting.

Cette dissertation propose un nouveau récit des expériences de William Faulkner à Hollywood afin de réévaluer la deuxième moitié de son œuvre de fiction. Dans ses premiers projets de scénarios de films, Faulkner a choisi d’adapter des œuvres de fiction qu’il avait publiées antérieurement. À la lumière de l’utilisation du genre —autant des films que des personnes— par les studios d’Hollywood pour organiser la production et le marketing des films, la fiction de Faulkner apparut soudainement comme perverse et ses représentations de la masculinité comme homoérotiques. Dans les premiers jets de Turn About et de War Birds, Faulkner s’approprie les normes du genre hollywoodien pour nier ces connotations sexuelles. Ses révisions ultérieures révèlent un recul systématique par rapport à la perversité d’Hollywood et au genre du woman’s film, au profit de la performance de la masculinité propre aux war pictures. Ses révisions réimaginent également des matériaux qui sont au cœur de son œuvre de fiction. Quand il se remet à écrire de la fiction, Faulkner répète cette approche narrative dans des nouvelles telles que “Golden Land” et “An Odor of Verbena,” deux récits qui rompent avec les pratiques et le style de ses premières fictions majeures. Les conséquences découlant de cette influence hollywoodienne—une volonté d’éradiquer toute connotation sexuelle, l’adoption authentique plutôt qu’ironique du mélodrame générique, et une rhétorique morale explicitement construite comme une négation d’Hollywood—se manifestent plus tard dans des textes aussi divers que The Reivers, Compson Appendix, ou son discours de réception du Prix Nobel. Vues sous cet angle, les dernières fictions de Faulkner deviennent une composante essentielle de son œuvre, fournissant une base nouvelle pour réexaminer la place des genres narratifs populaires, du genre et de la sexualité dans son cycle de Yoknapatawpha. / This dissertation offers a new narrative of William Faulkner’s Hollywood experiences and uses it to initiate a reevaluation of his middle and late fiction. In his earliest screenplay projects, Faulkner chose to adapt his previously published fiction. Read in light of Hollywood studios’ reliance on gender and genre to organize film production and marketing, this fiction suddenly appeared perverse; its portraits of masculinity, homoerotic. In his draft screenplays for Turn About and War Birds Faulkner appropriates Hollywood genre norms to negate these sexual connotations. His revisions reveal a pattern of recoil from Hollywood perversity and the woman’s film; and of an embrace of the war picture’s performance of masculinity. They also re-imagine materials central to Faulkner’s ongoing fictional project. Faulkner later repeats this pattern of response in such stories as “Golden Land” and “An Odor of Verbena,” both of which break from the defining practices and styles of his earlier, major fiction. The consequences that follow from this Hollywood influence—an effort to extinguish sexual connotation, an authentic rather than ironic embrace of generic melodrama, and a moral rhetoric explicitly constructed as a negation of Hollywood—later manifest in texts as diverse as The Reivers, the Compson Appendix, and the Nobel Prize acceptance speech. Viewed in this light, the late fictions become an essential component of his oeuvre, offering a new site for re-examining the place of popular genre , gender and sexuality in the Yoknapatawpha saga.

Between good and evil there's a whole lot of gray: Welcome to The Circuit. A shady private security firm recruits criminals straight out of prison and sells its services to the highest bidder, saint and sinner alike (mostly sinners). Through the trials and tribulations of a diverse ensemble cast, the show explores some of my absolute favorite themes in storytelling: gray morality, found families, and unlikely heroes. Follow our gritty and guarded lead Shaye as she struggles to tame a group of talented and contentious ex-cons under the shadow of her ambitious and manipulative father, all the while struggling to maintain her integrity in a world where nobody's the good guy. This thesis is an original television drama series, and consists of two full episodes as well as thirteen episode synopses for season one. It is also a work in progress, so feedback is welcome.
