A presente dissertação, “Falso documentário: montar entre ficção e facto”,
pretende reflectir sobre a montagem neste subgénero cinematográfico, a partir da
análise e desconstrução da montagem de várias obras denominadas falsos
documentários, como também, dos respectivos géneros que de certa maneira
formam este híbrido audiovisual, a ficção e o documentário, situando-os ainda na
sua aproximação à representação do real.
Deseja-se clarificar os mecanismos de montagem que permitem revelar os
objectivos narrativos e formais inerentes ao falso documentário, assim como
explorar o seu contributo para uma melhor reflexão sobre as preconcepções,
códigos e convenções intimamente ligadas ao documentário. Para isto, servimonos
não apenas de uma pesquisa teórica, mas também de uma aplicação
empírica, traduzida na criação de um projecto prático, “Artur”, um falso
documentário sobre um realizador português, aparentemente desconhecido pelo
público em geral.
“Mock-documentary: editing between fiction and fact” is a thesis that aims an approach to the editing process in this cinematic subgenera, through the editing analysis and deconstruction of some “Mock-documentary” films and the genres that in some way, belong to this audiovisual hybrid - fiction and documentary. This last two genres will be defined also through their approach to the representation of the real. We intend to make clear what kind of editing processes reveal the formal and narrative goals of the “Mock-documentary” films and also explore their contribution to a reflexion about the codes and conventions that are established in the documentary style. We base our research not only in a theoretical way, but also through the criation of a project named “Artur”, a “Mock-documentary” about an unknown portuguese filmmaker.
