I denna uppsats har jag undersökt arbetsprocessen bakom filmklippning med Donald A. Schöns teorier om praktisk reflexiv analys som utgångspunkt. Analysen tog stöd i teorier kopplade till filmklippning och filmteori. Anteckningar som gjorts under arbetsprocessen utgör forskningsunderlaget i uppsatsen. Scenen som jag har arbetat med är öppningsscenen från min dokumentärfilm Samlardjävulen. Filmen i sin helhet var även min medieproduktion och presentationen av den finns bifogad efter uppsatsen. Arbetsprocessen undersöktes genom att utgå från Schöns begrepp och formuleringar vilket synliggjorde viktiga och komplexa delar av arbetet med att redigera film. Resultatet visade att Schöns teorier kan användas för att beskriva arbetsprocessen bakom filmklippning på ett ingående sätt, men teorierna har också visat sig ha svagheter gällande möjligheten att beskriva vissa typer av praktiska handlingar. Uppsatsen avslutas med en diskussion och förslag på vidare forskning. / In this essay, I have examined the process of film editing using Donald A. Schön's theories of practical reflective analysis. The analysis drew on theories related to film editing and film theory, and the research data consisted of notes taken during the editing process. The scene that I have been working on is the opening scene from my documentary film Samlardjävulen. This film was also the project that I completed during my final semester. The presentation of the film can be found in this file, after the essay. By applying Schön's theories on the work process, the study revealed important and complex aspects of editing film. The results showed that Schön's theories can be used to describe the process of film editing in detail, however, I concluded that the theories have certain weaknesses when it comes to describing some types of practical actions. The essay concludes with a discussion and possible options for further research.

What remains after digitalization? Audio-visual documents are today at risk of deteriorating because of the fragilematerial they consist of, and although the process of transferring the information onto a digital format is oftenused to preserve the data they contain, the question of what becomes of the remaining analogue data carrier isnot raised in modern research.This thesis has examined how old and fragile sound recordings are kept and managed in an archive afterthey have been digitized. A case study was used to investigate how an archival institution view the remainingdata carriers and what becomes of them today when the information they carry is available on another format.The fragility of the recording was of importance for the study, because it means that it is not possible to play iton an analogue play back device without damaging it, and its status as an archival document can be questioned.The archive which this thesis investigated consisted of the Institute for Languages and Folklore in Uppsala,Sweden, which houses a great deal of old and fragile sound recordings which were collected on a phonograph asearly as 1896. This makes these recordings the oldest ones in Sweden that has been collected for recordkeepingpurposes. By examining the role, function and value of the recordings, this study investigated whether they holdan importance for the archive as historical objects, or as functional documents. The study consisted of a triangulationmethod, where interviews, a document analysis as well as an object biography method were combined tocompare and analyze the empirical findings in conjunction with each other. The results indicated that althoughsome documental properties still existed, the old sound recordings kept in the archive were mostly seen as historicalobjects. However, a theoretical analysis indicated that the recordings could be seen as a hybrid of both documentand artefact. This is a two years master’s thesis in Archival Science.

Kandidatuppsatsens syfte är att genom arkivstudie utföra en historiserande kontextuell analys av Utvandrarna (1971) och Nybyggarna (1972) med produktionsstudie som metod. Filmerna gjordes samtidigt och hade en inflationsjusterad budget på sjuttiofyra miljoner kronor, vilket gör inspelningen till den största satsningen inom svensk film på hela 1900-talet. Hur planerades och genomfördes en produktion av sådan storlek? Ända från de tidigaste idéerna kartläggs processen i syfte att dra slutsatser kring dåtidens svenska kulturklimat, filmsamhälle och tekniska utveckling. Arkivmaterialet hämtas från Svenska Filminstitutets biblioteksarkiv och delas in trefaldigt: Manussamlingen, Bengt Forslunds personarkiv och Bildarkivet. Utifrån detta material återges händelseförloppet i detalj, kompletterat med senare vittnesmål från skådespelare och filmteam. Produktionen värdesatte framför allt verklighetstrogenhet och i stort sett alla scener filmades på plats vid historiska kvarlämningar eller ute i naturen, ofta med lokala amatörskådespelare i de mindre rollerna. Dessutom studeras Jan Troells roll som regissör, fotograf och klippare utifrån Bill Nichols teori om dokumentära representationsperspektiv, med fokus på Troells användande av drag från observerande och deltagande dokumentärfilm för att öka verklighetsintrycket. Slutsatsen blir att filmerna å ena sidan har en tydlig bakgrund i den svenska guldålderns litterära tradition, å andra sidan estetiskt och produktionsmässigt i mångt och mycket tillhör det sena 60-talets nyskapande kulturella våg. / The aim of the bachelor's thesis is to contextualize and historicize the production of The Emigrants (1971) and The New Land (1972), through arhival material. The films were made simultaneously and had a budget of 74 million Swedish Krona, adjusted for inflation, making them the Swedish film industry's biggest investment of the 20th century. How was a production of such scope planned and executed? The process is mapped out in order to draw conclusions around Sweden's cultural climate at the time, its film world and its technological developments. The archival material is taken from Svenska Filminstitutets biblioteksarkiv (The Swedish Film Institute's Library archive) and can be divided threefold:  Manussamlingen (the script collection), Bengt Forslund's personal archive, och Bildarkivet (the image archive). Using this material the events of the production are narrated in detail, completed by additional oral history given by the films' cast and crew. The production valued fidelity to reality above all and almost all scenes were shot on location, at historical sites or in nature, often with local amateur actors playing the minor parts. In addition, Jan Troell's role as director, photographer and editor is studied through Bill Nichols' theory of documentary modes, focusing on Troell's use of traits from the observational and participatory documentary modes to strengthen the impression of reality. In conclusion, the thesis finds that while the films are evidently a part of the literary tradition that goes back to the Swedish Golden Age, their aesthetics and means of production are closely tied to the innovative cultural wave of the late 60s.
