A estilística do roteiro no drama seriado contemporâneo

Abstract

This paper aims to analyze the scripts Chicanery, from the Better Call Saul series, and The entire history of you, from the Black Mirror series, both works of contemporary serial dramaturgy. To this end, we seek the historization of scripts (PRICE, 2013; MARAS, 2009) to understand the basic formation and construction of an orthodox writing model (MACDONALD, 2013). This orthodox model together with the sense of television serialization (ADORNO, 1954; WILLIAMS, 2016; ELLIS, 1982) boosted script writing from the evolution of television style (BUTTLER, 2010) and narrative complexity (MITTEL, 2012), which led to the development of a stylistic model that seeks to establish a sense of presence and atmosphere (GUMBRECHT, 2010 and 2014). To understand this stylistic we observe how unusual elements script orthodoxy help in building presence and atmosphere, and how these elements are analyzed in their translation to the filmic work (SILVA, 2016). Thus, we observe a new concept of script stylism that brings it closer to literature, without losing its productive structure.
