| Sumario: | This study aims to identifying the formal strategies chosen by the director in the construction of his narrative using the feature-length The History of Eternity (Camilo Cavalcante, 2014) as case study. These choices constitute the mise en scène, that is technical (and aesthetic) procedures that will reinforce the cinematographic narrative. The mise en scène have been intensely studied by filmmakers and scholars since the early decades of cinema, and, currently, these studies still arouse strong interest in theorists such as Bordwell (2013) and Aumont (2011), among others. Through a detailed analysis of the director shots and scenes, we intend to demonstrate that the mise en scène schemes applied in this film, such as long shots, few camera movements and frequent staging in depth of field, are different formal procedures from those present in mainstream films from worldwide cinematography. |
