Abstract

This project wishes to analyze the sound design and it's unfolding in the mise en scène of three films that compose the "Fontainhas trilogy", directed by the portuguese Pedro Costa, which concern the films Ossos (1997), No Quarto da Vanda (2000) and Juventude em Marcha (2006). Relevant in the contemporary scenario, Costa pictures the claustrophobic world from the Fontainhas district, in Lisbon, by utilizing several of film sound artifices as basic instrument for his esthetic project. We believe that sound, in these films, keep a fundamental relationship with dramatic roots: it's necessary, therefore, a study about the mise en scène and the sounds that compose these films' soundtracks, so that we can conjugate intersectional points and locate, as a consequence, the importance reserved do sound aspect in film signification.
