Resumo: Essa dissertação teve como objetivo estudar os procedimentos técnicos que envolvem o trabalho a interpretação para cinema. Para isso, tivemos como objeto de pesquisa a filmografia do ator Marlon Brando (1924 ¿ 2004), com enfoque nos filmes "Uma Rua Chamada Pecado" (Elia Kazan, 1951), "Sindicato de Ladrões" (Elia Kazan, 1954), "A Face Oculta" (Marlon Brando, 1961), "O Grande Motim" (Lewis Milestone, 1962), "O Poderoso Chefão" (Francis Ford Coppola, 1972) e "Apocalipse Now" (Francis Ford Coppola, 1979). Verificamos, ao longo desses filmes, os procedimentos de construção de cena e personagens apoiados nos escritos de Stella Adler (2002) e Constantin Stanislavski (2001) sobre o trabalho do ator, com enfoque nas ações físicas no uso da imaginação e observação. Além disso, analisamos os temas e personagens recorrentes na filmografia de Brando identificando uma padronização de seu aparecimento na tela. Tal padrão está intimamente ligado à própria personalidade do ator e chega em duas figuras essenciais: o "jovem rebelde", presente nos filmes dos anos 1950 e caracterizado por sua postura contra o sistema vigente e o "padrinho", consolidado nas obras da década de 1970, marcado por sua relação de mentor de um personagem ou grupo de personagens. Para investigarmos essa padronização, utilizamos o conceito de ator-autor proposto por Patrick McGuiligan (1975) e desenvolvido por Luc Moullet (1993) e Pedro Maciel Guimarães (2012), com o qual se analisa a filmografia de um ator em busca de aspectos formais e temáticos que o possam nomeá-lo como co-autor de um filme
Abstract: This dissertation aim was studying the technical procedures of acting in cinema. In order to do this, we took as research material the filmography of the actor Marlon Brando (1924 ¿ 2004), focusing in the films "A Streetcar Named Desire" (Elia Kazan, 1951), "On The Waterfront" (Elia Kazan, 1954), "One-Eyed Jacks" (Marlon Brando, 1961), "Moutiny on the Bouty" (Lewis Milestone, 1962), "The Godfather" (Francis Ford Coppola, 1972) and "Apocalipse Now" (Francis Ford Coppola, 1979). Through those movies, we verified the procedures of creating a scene and a character supported by the writings of Stella Adler (2002) and Constantin Stanislavski (2001) on acting, focusing on physical actions, imagination and observation. Furthermore, we analysed the recurrent themes and characters on Brando¿s filmography investigating a pattern in his appearance on screen which is linked with the personality of the actor himself. Thus, we find two essential figures, the "young rebel", in the movies of the 1950s and characterized by his position against the hegemonic system, and the "godfather", consolidated in the 1970s, characterized by his relation as a mentor of a character or a group of characters. To investigate this standardization, we used the concept of the actor-author, proposed by Patrick McGuiligan (1975) and further developed by Luc Moullet (1993) and Pedro Maciel Guimarães (2012), in which one analyses an actor¿s filmography searching thematic and formal aspects that can categorize the actor as a co-author of a film

Resumo: Esta tese tem como objetivo investigar a trajetória da atriz Eliane Lage, integrante da história do cinema brasileiro dos anos 1950. A eleição e divulgação de um grupo de atrizes - integrando a busca pela implantação de um star system do cinema brasileiro - foram resultantes da tentativa de industrialização do cinema paulista, levada adiante por Franco Zampari e Francisco Matarazzo Sobrinho, por meio da fundação da Companhia Cinematográfica Vera Cruz no ano de 1949. Sendo assim ¿ visto que Eliane Lage foi lançada como atriz por essa Companhia ¿ situo inicialmente a proposta desses estúdios que pretenderam inaugurar no país uma produção em escala e com qualidade técnica, nos moldes do studio system de cinematografias hegemônicas. O Departamento de Publicidade da Vera Cruz desempenhava o papel de eleger e divulgar atrizes (e também atores) que estrelavam seus filmes. Dentre astros e estrelas desse período Eliane Lage é particularmente interessante, pois seguiu a tônica de negar a importância da carreira cinematográfica, conforme analisarei mais detidamente. Assim, uma análise do star system brasileiro se fez necessária. Confluindo três temas principais quais sejam: a Cinematográfica Vera Cruz, o star system brasileiro e atriz Eliane Lage, pretendo lançar nova luz a alguns sensos comuns que envolvem o fim da Vera Cruz e também a fugaz carreira de Eliane Lage. Os mitos que se constituíram em torno da atriz ao longo de décadas, seu comportamento na imprensa e, igualmente, as imagens que prevaleceram ao longo de seu "desaparecimento" da vida pública são alguns dos aspectos analisados na presente tese
Abstract: This thesis aims at investigating the life trajectory of Brazilian actress Eliane Lage, who was part of the history of Brazilian cinema in the 1950s. Choosing and marketing a group of actresses ¿ as an attempt to implement a star system in the Brazilian cinema ¿ resulted from an attempt to create a movie industry in São Paulo, and this was carried out by Franco Zampari and Francisco Matarazzo Sobrinho through the creation of the Vera Cruz Movie Company (Companhia Cinematográfica Vera Cruz) in the year of 1949. Therefore, ¿ seing that Eliane Lage was officially launched as an actress by this Company ¿ I, initially, address the proposal of the studios which aimed at implementing in Brazil quality movie productions in scale mirrored in hegemonic movie studio systems. The Vera Cruz Marketing Department played a role in choosing and marketing the actresses (and actors) that starred their movies. Among all the male and female stars of this period, Eliane Lage is particularly interesting, because she adopted the position of denying the importance of a career in the movie industry as this study will show in more detail. Therefore, we consider an analysis of the Brazilian star system necessary. By bringing together three main topics: the Vera Cruz Movie Company, the Brazilian star system, and actress Eliane Lage, I intend to shed some light on a number of common sense issues concerning the end of the Vera Cruz Company and Eliane Lage¿s ephemeral career. The myths created involving the actress in the past decades, her behavior in the media and, equally, the images that have prevailed during her "disappearance" from public life, are some of the aspects addressed in this thesis

Full textEvery Friday, movie listings fill up with new films seeking to attract as many moviegoers to the cinema as possible, but only a few movies will manage to stay on the big screen for weeks. During the 1980s, many researchers used mathematical models to attempt to determine the factors which help to make a film successful, and so mitigate the high risks involved in the movie business. The main challenge of this study has been to adapt to the Catalan cinema industry the criteria which have been used to analyze other film industries, above all the American industry. Following the work of the researchers consulted, data from 267 new Catalan productions from between 2008 and 2014 was obtained, and a multivariable analysis was carried out to evaluate all the possible factors which might contribute to the success of a film. The results obtained are revealing, and help to clarify the reality of film production in Catalonia, providing scientific evidence to back up the subjective knowledge of the sector. Thus the value of the study lies in employing a statistically proven method to reinforce previously subjective knowledge, and provide security when making key decisions in film-making. To summarize the conclusions obtained in this study, it can be stated that budgetary factors and production company characteristics are the aspects which play the most important role in the success of a Catalan film, followed by the recognition generated by the main awards, the Goyas – and the Gaudi awards in Catalonia – which also have a major impact on the number of moviegoers who choose to see the film. By contrast, movies’ presence at festivals has no influence on the national success of a film but is decisive in its international career. As for artistic factors, it has only been possible to establish a direct relationship between the language in which the film is made and the results at the box office. The rest of the factors introduced in the analysis have been discounted, given that they do not contribute any significant information to the model.
