Representación del duelo y la evasión de la realidad a través de cambios de formatos cinematográficos.

Abstract

This thesis work addresses the pre-production, production and post-production process of Fina, a fictional short film of the black comedy genre that tells the story of Julie, a young woman with avoidance behaviors who comes to the peculiar conclusion that the death of her cat is a premeditated murder and her main suspect is her strange neighbor across the street. The introspective journey that the protagonist makes escapes from the ordinary and enters a fiction created by herself where she believes she is a detective referencing various periods of cinema. Throughout the document, key points of the short film are explained in detail, such as the artistic direction proposal, photography proposal, list of references, production style, financing and marketing plan, sound design and post-production style; these sections support the premise of the short film, which is to represent the grieving process of the protagonist through changes in formats that are mainly reflected in the visual narrative and the staging, referencing cinematographic works from different periods such as Sherlock Jr. (1924), The Maltese Falcon (1941), The Rear Window (1954) and Seven (1995).
