Assistência de roteiro em salas de roteiristas no Brasil.

Abstract

This research seeks to understand the role of the script assistant in brazilian writer’s rooms. First, we sought to make a theoretical foundation in order to understand the universe of research at the national level, presenting concepts about script and screenwriters, as well as a brief historical recapitulation of the last two decades in brazilian audiovisual. Then, based on the author’s experience as an assistant in a writer’s room and also from the interview with 10 Brazilian screenwriters, the research presents the work of an assistant in a writer’s room, from his arrival in a room, passing through the functions performed in each stage of development of a tv show, until the final delivery of the scripts to the channels. The objective of this research is to find a definition for the role of screenwriting assistant, exploring the characteristics necessary to perform the work, the tasks and attributions within a writer’s room and the perspectives for those who want to perform the role.
