Desse projeto nasceram publicações e participações cien- tífcas várias, das quais a mais expressiva terá sido o livro editado em 2014 com o título “Aprender del cine: narrativa y didáctica”. Agora, e dando continuidade ao objetivo assumido de produzir materiais de rele- vância científca e empírica no âmbito das relações entre Cinema, Didá- tica e Cultura, damos à estampa este novo projeto editorial, intitulado “Ofcios del cine: manual para prácticas cinematográfcas”. Fruto da identifcação de uma falta e de uma necessidade real nos dois países, o livro pretende posicionar-se como um manual de referên- cia para o aprofundamento de um conhecimento transversal e completo sobre como fazer um flme. Desde o desenvolvimento do argumento e da pré-produção até à etapa da pós-produção, distribuição e exibição, o li- vro apresenta um conjunto de textos direcionados para uma epistemolo- gia empírica sobre o que signifca construir um produto cinematográfco, nas suas várias fases e departamentos. Com esta obra pretendemos esta- belecer uma ferramenta de utilidade teórica e prática para estudantes, professores e profssionais de cinema, um guia para deslindar os infndá- veis e complexos processos de criação, desenvolvimento e concretização efcaz de um projeto cinematográfco. A proposta de produção deste livro estabeleceu-se a partir do gru- po de investigação previamente referido, mas não se limitou apenas ao envolvimento dos membros que nele participam. Promoveu e logrou a participação de vários investigadores, docentes e profssionais da sétima arte, especialistas em cada uma das áreas integrantes da produção fíl- mica e procedentes de várias universidades e áreas de atividade fílmica, quer em Portugal quer em Espanha. Apresentando o conteúdo e os participantes deste livro, este ini- cia-se com um texto de Francisco García García (UCM) e Pablo Alonso Colchón (UCM) que contextualiza e relaciona os diferentes “ofícios” do cinema. No campo do argumento, Ana Sofa Pereira (UCP) e Pedro Gómez Martínez (UFV/UCM) abordam o trabalho intrínseco à construção de uma história para cinema, quer a partir de uma ideia original quer utilizan- do uma base de adaptação ou trabalhando relações com outros meios de comunicação. Sobre Produção e Realização, respectivamente, Pedro Alves (UCP) e Ignacio Sacaluga Rodríguez (UEM) detalham os vários processos de cada departamento desde a fase de pré-produção e preparação exaus- tiva da rodagem até às fases de produção e pós-produção do flme. No campo da Direção da Fotografa, Hernando Gómez (UEM) aborda um con- junto de ferramentas conceptuais e metodológicas no que respeita à pla- nifcação e execução do respectivo ofício. Em relação à Direção de Arte, Hugo Barreira (FLUP) apresenta uma refexão histórico-empírica sobre a área, enquanto Eduardo Concorcet (ULHT) detalha vários dos processos inerentes ao trabalho da Direção de Atores. No campo sonoro, Emídio Buchinho (ESTC) e Manuel Gertrudix (URJC) e Felipe Gertrudix (UCLM) incidem sobre a Direção de Som (da pré-produção até à pós-produção) e sobre a composição de música para Cinema. Dentro da fase de pós- -produção, Mario Rajas (URJC) e María Bastida (URJC) referem um con- junto de processos e ferramentas próprios, respectivamente, dos cam- pos da Montagem e da Correção de Cor. No campo da Animação, Sahra Kunz (UCP) e Ricardo Megre (UCP) abordam detalhadamente a História e vários processos de composições e efeitos visuais, enquanto, no âmbito da composição gráfca, Roberto Gamonal Arroyo (UCM) explora as fun- ções e etapas de desenho dos créditos fílmicos. Finalmente, Maria Luísa García Guardia (UCM) e Cristóbal Fernández Muñoz (UCM) abordam o tra- balho de marketing e publicidade associados ao âmbito cinematográfco, enquanto Daniel Ribas (IPB) e Paulo Cunha (UBI) analisam em detalhe as características e a evolução da distribuição e exibição de flmes em Portugal. Não podemos deixar de realçar que os vários textos que compõem o livro são inéditos e de extraordinária atualidade, procedentes de autores que são também protagonistas em cada uma das áreas exploradas (quer a nível científco quer a nível profssional). Isto signifca, para os leito- res, o acesso a um conjunto de perspetivas e direções práticas de inegá- vel relevância e pertinência no que respeita ao que signifca, hoje, uma produção fílmica. Quaisquer que sejam os objetivos, teóricos ou práticos, de cada leitor sobre a produção de Cinema, acreditamos que encontrará neste livro orientações e ideias válidas para um bom trabalho fílmico. Finalmente, queremos expressar a nossa profunda gratidão e o nosso enorme reconhecimento a cada um dos autores dos capítulos deste pro- jeto. Sem a sua disponibilidade, motivação e esforço, este livro nunca teria sido possível. Agradecemos igualmente ao CITCEM e à ICONO14 o apoio fnanceiro e logístico para a concretização de mais um projeto que muito nos satisfaz e que traduz uma vez mais a procura incessante de corresponder a necessidades identifcadas nos campos científcos e empí- ricos contemplados pelo grupo “Cinema, Didática e Cultura”. Ao leitor: obrigado por aventurar-se pelas páginas que preparámos. Desejamos que, pelos caminhos deste livro, encontre orientações úteis para concretizar os seus projetos. Depois disso... luzes, som, câmara e ação!

Desde el punto de vista narrativo, el cine es la conjunción entre his- toria y discurso. Conjunción perfecta que precisa del trabajo productivo signifcante de la producción textual.
