A verticalização do cinema : um panorama sobre tendências

Abstract

This Final Course Work aims to understand the current market and social trend towards vertical cinema. To this end, the importance of new media, social networks (especially Tiktok) and technologies for the popularization and dissemination of this audiovisual style, based on experimentation and the propensity to use the vertical screen as a guide, is reiterated. By investigating the history of cinema with its screen formats and the emergence of instruments that made it possible to produce this content, in a practical and fast way, in the contemporary scenario, the aim is to understand the uses, as well as the points of reflection raised in the viewer and the director of the work. The work also contains an analysis of the role of the vertical format in cinematographic language, in the successes and failures of this filming mode. Towards the end, there is the presentation of an authorial fictional script entitled "Blackout Screen", used as a practical example of the concepts addressed, understanding the success of this style and where it can be achieved with a change in the positioning of the screen, from horizontal to vertical.
