Between Sound Schools: the influence of the United States and French Schools on the sound of Brazilian Cinema.
Cinema and history; Aesthetics and audiovisual culture; Location Sound; Brazilian cinema.
The thesis aims to investigate, in the field of sound studies, how the standards that distinguish and classify the American and French sound schools were formed and to reflect on their influences /interferences (and where we
can identify them), in the sound of Brazilian cinema. Reflect on the concept of sound school and how it can be applied to cinematographic sound; to analyze the genesis of a sound school, how this classification was constructed, and which historical (and power) contexts made possible the markedly American and French reference; question the possibilities of the existence of other schools, and/or the formatting of an extremely westernized listening, and what would have favored this dualistic classification. In addition, to problematize the influences of the two sound schools in Brazilian films, trying to draw a corpus of films that have the mark of these sounds.
