Propuesta escenográfica y evolución dramática del protagonista en el cortometraje “¿Y Amelia?”

Abstract

This research proposes to study the dramatic evolution of the protagonist for the construction of scenographies in terms of props, costumes and atmospheric color palette, which allow setting the conflicts and evolution of the dramatic arc of the protagonist in the short film ¿Y Amelia? For this I will base myself on the concepts of artistic department, pictorial space, filmic space and realization techniques theorized by Mónica Gentile, Rogelio Díaz and Pablo Ferrari in the book Escenografía Cinematográfica (2011). For the color palette and textures I will rely on concepts imposed by Eulalio Ferrer in the book Los languages Del color (1999). To analyze the dramatic evolution of the character, I will analyze the concepts handled by David Corbett in the book The Art of Creating Characters: In Narrative, Film and Television (2018). The methodology will be qualitative, and, specifically, research/creation (Hernández Hernández, 2006, 13, 19 and 29; 2015; Carreño, 2014). Film analysis will be made of the following films: Jojo Rabbit (2019) by Taika Waititi, Sin otoño, sin primavera (2012), by Iván Mora Manzano, and Metropolis (1927) by Fritz Lang. The innovation of my project will try to make the scenographies comply with the visual identity of the short film ¿Y Amelia? The bibliography on film theory and praxis in Ecuador will receive a contribution with our work.
