El guionista chileno: análisis cuantitativo sobre el oficio de escribir para cine

Abstract

The study describes the methodology used to construct the script in the Chilean cinema of the last decade. The results come from questionnaires applied to more than sixty filmmakers (screenwriters, directors and producers), and confirm the existence of guidelines or ways of working for writing in the stages of preproduction and editing, noting the coexistence of various creative processes in those involved in the writing, both in the generation of the dramatic idea and in composition. The paths are as varied as filmmakers exist; thus, the script seems to be seen more as a methodology than as a finished text.
