La realizacion integral de un documental de autor

Abstract

The following work tries to show the result of the integral realization of a documentary short film in Patagonia. Driven by the experience of audiovisual production in the area since 2009 this Final Degree Work is carried out. It takes as reference the definition of “Integral Realization” of the RDI “Integral Documentary Film Producers” of Argentina. "... those of us who form RDI consider ourselves Integral Filmmakers because we do not conceive the cinematographic production as a separate process from the realization of the film. We consider it a unique act. The material production process defines us as subjects, determines our gaze, establishes how we cut that reality to be portrayed and gives us concrete, tangible elements to develop the creative process. That is why we cannot talk about pre-established forms of production. With each film we establish a production scheme according to the needs of the work, guaranteeing its feasibility with the greatest artistic freedom. For this we set priorities, the realization process first of all needs an indispensable element, according to our point of view, time ... In the figure of Integral Director, we understand, the work of the rigorous researcher who explores through a method to put to test his thesis, with the sensitivity of the artist capable of transmitting the truths that are discovered before his camera, in a critical and emotional way to reach the spectator… ”This path is born with the restlessness and the need to document the different realities that live residents of the "Andean Patagonia" area. Taking the "Andean Patagonic" context as a starting point where there is no solid film industry. Taking into account the budget, technological and human team deficiencies, the need arises to carry out the role of “integral producer” where the production model makes it possible to carry out different tasks to complete the film. In this sense we were forced to plan and produce the work, while developing different roles in technical areas of audiovisual. Investing in the work not only our financial capital and the technical equipment we have, but also all our human capital , creativity, theoretical framework, passion and perseverance. All this forces the filmmaker to have a practical theoretical knowledge of each of the audiovisual areas, this means knowing, scripting, producing, recording sound and image, assembling, post-producing and finally distributing the work.Understanding in this way the Integral realization as an independent audiovisual creation process, we carry out this project. During 2014 we opened the independent production company Patagonia Audiovisual and received the State Support through the “Young With Independent Employment” subsidy that allowed us to buy our edition island, then we received the “Seed Capital” loan that allowed us to buy the camera and other teams, that same year we started with audiovisual production. Within our audiovisual production, one of our first products was “La Comarca Creativa”, a 24-minute Web and TV program that sought to rescue stories from people who were dedicated to creative activities within the Andean Region of parallel 42, the same We held financially through advertising guidelines. The program lasted 3 years and during the course of it we met different places and people, during 2017 in one of the last chapters we met Miguel Angel Annechinni a craftsman of the El Bolsón fair. We performed the program Llao Navarra (camera-production-direction) and Nicolas Avila (camera-sound), during the realization of Miguel's chapter, we were particularly interested in its history, since it was crossed by the cultural emblem of the town, the craft fair . After the realization of his chapter for La Comarca Creativa and already having a first foray with a camera, we proposed to make a documentary short film by the author, which will portray a brief moment of his day, where he will tell us part of his story, Miguel accepted and we began The documentary the next day. The filming process was part-time and thanks to the fact that we were only 2 people recording, an intimate environment was generated where the interviewee did not feel intimidated and let go to tell us his story. Subsequently the editing process was 5 days where we could obtain the final result. Counting the pre-production and management, the short film took us 7 days to produce, make and edit it.
