Ins and Outs of the Gaze: A Methodological Proposal to Analyze Filmmaking
Abstract
When we think about filmmaking, it is essential to attend to a key question: how to achieve a bigger and better knowledge about the process through which the films are made? This paper takes the methodology of analysis as its subject matter, which can lead to that wider and deeper knowledge. The design and the development of that methodology are built upon these axis: identification of the obstacles which block the correct access to knowledge about filmmaking; the ideological and operational building of the analysis tools; and the tuning of the methodology of analysis after getting in contact with a single case study. The encounter between anthropology and film studies reveals itself as an interesting way of analyzing a practice, usually hidden behind a lot of myths.Downloads
