Corpo, tempo e espaço: um estudo da voz como matéria-prima de linguagem cinematográfica em Era uma vez Brasília

Abstract

Body, time and space In this work we propose a study of the voice as a sensitive subject in the film Era uma vez Brasilia (Adirley Queirós, 2017). Based mainly on theoretical concepts by Michel Chion, the voice is highlighted as an element of study, in its particularities such as timbre, intensity, rhythm, personality, etc. to produce analyzes of its role in the audiovisual composition and in the production of narrative and dramatic meanings in Era uma vez Brasilia . The film is presented initially from some critical publications that raise questions about its form, language and film classification, about which we comment briefly. The analyzes with clipping in the sound manifestation of the voice in this film are produced from the relationships established between the lines and the other elements of the soundtrack and the visual image, in a vertical relation, that is, that occur in layers of temporal juxtaposition. The concepts generated from these analyzes are related to the film as a whole to conclude that the voice as the raw material of the cinematographic language adds to the film senses beyond those that present the speech as text. Concepts such as the psychological and emotional depth of characters through the voice, the social places established by the speech, the voice as the bearer of memory and history, the relations of the voice with the filmic language from the concepts of synchronicity, acusmatic, rarefaction etc. and finally, the relations between these elements as a generation of possible meanings in the film. Keywords: sound, voice, sound design. Era uma vez Brasilia, Chion
