Perspectivas: a experimentação da flexibilidade na utilização dos gêneros documentais

Abstract

This is the descriptive memorial of the experimental project “Perspectives: The experimentation of flexibility in the use of documentary genres”, intending to detail the stages of production about the experimentation of the use of more than one format of the documentary genre in each episode belonging to a documentary miniseries. Moving from the studied work on documentary formats, the choice of theme, the definition of characters, script production, and subsequent processes to the final product. The experiment carried out for the completion of the Radio, TV, and Internet course at the Federal University of Juiz de Fora, explores the possibilities of using two documentary formats divided into three episodes, approaching stages of the same theme, following the definitions of authors within the documentary world. This choice occurred after descriptions about the use of characteristics of a format within another format, but that there is always a dominant genre. Thus, the pointed object explores the use of two formats as dominant, and the ways of approaching the chosen theme. With the work, the objective goes beyond the use of documentary formats, but also the approach to the theme of life and death and the existing stages between these two parallels connected by a thin line in each individual, and the taboos present and standardized in society regarding the subject.
