Arquitetura e cenografia: uma experiência na produção de um curta-metragem

Abstract

Architecture is a very broad area that trains professionals able to act in many different areas. Set design is one of those areas, which by itself it also has an expanded field. In this work the set design will be studied applied to cinema, in view of the scarcity of research in the area and the importance of the theme in the national context, as national productions have been gaining increasing strength and relevance. A professional with a background in architecture and urbanism has an important role in the conception of the visuality of cinematographic scenes. All the knowledge regarding the creation of spaces allows for a unique insight into scenic aesthetics and functionality. That's because, in the audiovisual language, the visuality of the scenes has a fundamental role, since they generate experiences and knowledge through images. The dialogues are important, but the images that make the essence of the narratives. In according to Moletta (2009), it is necessary to learn to “think through images” so that an idea can be conveyed in audiovisual language. According to him, you cannot forget that “cinema is the art of image and not dialogue” (Moletta, 2009, p. 18). Thus, it is intended to analyze the relationships between architecture, cinema and set design, as well as art direction and production design in cinema and audiovisual production techniques. Those knowledge will be fundamental so that, as the final project of this work, can produce a short film that expresses in practice how the architect has an unique vision to tell stories and provide sensations in a non-verbal way.
