Diálogo entre linguagens: uso de storyboards nos processos de criação artística de Ran (1985) e parasita (2019)

Abstract

This research examines the creative process in cinema and audiovisual media, highlighting the influence of pictorial language, particularly in the pre-production stages of filmmaking. It investigates the relationship between cinema, drawing, and painting, with a focus on the analysis of Akira Kurosawa’s Ran (1985) and Bong Joon-ho’s Parasite (2019). Storyboards play a crucial role in this process, visually representing the script and enabling an image-based pre-visualization of the film. The case studies conducted in this research reveal how filmmakers employ pictorial language to address creative challenges, emphasizing both similarities and differences in their approaches. This study draws upon Ran: The Original Screenplay and Storyboards of the Academy Award-winning Film (2020) and Parasite: A Graphic Novel in Storyboards (2020) as primary sources, providing insights into the directors’ creative processes in the analyzed works.
