O Senhor do Porto: Construção de uma curta-metragem em stop-motion

Abstract

This "travel journal" of a theoretical-practical nature is the result of a harmonious combination of what I know and enjoy doing in the field of architecture and other areas. Following a logic similar to that of an architectural execution project, I explore the production and realization of a short film in all its phases. It is from this idea of developing a architectural work that I present this dissertation. For this purpose, three main themes arise, developed when necessary in two dimensions, the fictitious world and the real world. In the "Characterization Phase" (the only chapter where the dimensions overlap in the "real world"), similar to an urban project or building project, I will explore both the location and the previously chosen time frame where the short film takes place, the narrative theme, as well as understanding the various ways in which it can be conveyed by briefly analyzing 8 films to have a solid foundation on which to base the strategy. The "Strategy Phase," based on the previous chapter, serves to expose the decisions made regarding the narrative, graphic style, execution techniques, materiality, among other issues. It is from this chapter that the fictitious dimension arises.
