Teoría y práctica del montaje aplicado al documental realista y contemplativo Lira de Oro

Abstract

The final step in movie making where we can provide rhetoric, aesthetic and ethic is in the filmsediting. As we know a director visualizes their ambitions and materializes them in the shooting of amovie, it is only with a conscious planning of the edition, that the intentions of the film areconsolidated.Based on a theoretical and historical study of the cinematographic trends known as Direct Cinema and «contemplative cinema», as well as the nature of nonfictional cinema, this work generates a montage proposal for the documentary film Lira de Oro, making a careful review of practical elements of the film editing such as: strategy and structure; rhythm, duration and time; and film space. The findings of both the bibliographic and filmographic research and the film editing experience are exposed.
