Velocidade e montagem: possibilidades de comunicação do tempo no cinema

Abstract

The objective of this research is to reflect on the possibilities of the asceleration of time in media film products produced after the 90s. The chosen method was film analysis, aplyed to a case study of a brazilian movie, O Invasor, directed by Beto

Brant (2001). The analysis of the editing tactics that articulates the acceleration of time on the movie was done after the organization of four technical categories of

velocity, developed from the arguments of Paul Virilio’s social theory, that indicates the function of technology in the information society, specially the “vision machine”, or

“absolute velocity machine”. Other concepts were also related such as time, velocity an society; definitions of rithm, functions and techniques of editing; and also thecnological principles of optical film editing, electronic video and digital audiovisual techniques that made possible the converging approach to film editing in different audiovisual systems.
