Abstract(s)
Verifica-se, na história do cinema, a utilização repetida de temas e enredos com a
capacidade de chegar aos espectadores. Desde os grandes estúdios ao cinema
independente, é possível identificar a aplicação de uma espécie de fórmula para cada
género narrativo, fazendo com que os indivíduos consumam cada filme e cada história
como se fossem únicos e diferentes. Um destes géneros é o Slasher. Desde a década de
setenta que são produzidos filmes que obedecem a indicadores semelhantes e facilmente
reconhecíveis pelo espectador. O seu sucesso massivo tem permitido não só a criação de
novos títulos, como a reinvenção, mediante a oferta de mash ups e, acima de tudo,
remakes.
Com esta dissertação, pretende-se verificar se existe consistência nos padrões das
narrativas Slashers originais comparativamente aos seus remakes, pelo que foi construída a
seguinte pergunta de partida: “De que modo é que as convenções do subgénero Slasher são
trabalhadas nos remakes?”
Foi elaborada uma grelha composta por indicadores definidos com base nas
características do subgénero Slasher. Para o preenchimento de todos os indicadores, foram
visualizados dez filmes do subgénero Slasher, sendo eles cinco originais e os cinco
respectivos remakes.
A análise dos resultados leva-nos a concluir que os remakes potenciam a alteração
das convenções definidas.
It is found in the history of cinema, the repeated use of themes and plots with the ability to reach viewers. From major studios to independent films, you can identify the application of a kind of formula for each narrative style, making individuals consume each film and each story as if they were unique and different. One of these genres is the Slasher. Since the seventies there are films, which obey to certain indicators easily recognizable by the viewer. Its massive success has allowed not only the creation of new titles, but also the reinvention, by offering mash ups and, above all, remakes. With this dissertation, we intend to investigate if there is consistency in the pattern of the original Slasher narratives compared to their remakes. For that, it was built the following initial question: “In which ways are the Slasher subgenre conventions worked on the remakes?” A grid composed by indicators based on the characteristics of the Slasher subgenre was developed. To fill all indicators, ten films of the Slasher subgenre were visualized - five originals and their respective remakes. The analysis leads us to conclude that the remakes enhance the alteration of defined conventions.
