Chuck e Blair: uma análise sobre o uso das cores na construção dos personagens da série Gossip girl

Abstract

The present work has as main objective to understand how the colors act in the construction of the characteristics of the characters of the serial narrative Gossip Girl, from the analysis of three episodes of the series. For this, the work is structured from notions and concepts of authors who have studies related to the research theme, such as Farina's approaches; Perez; Bastos (2011), Guimarães (2004), and Heller (2000) to talk about the composition of colors and the perspectives that Forster (2005) brings about character, both related to what Martin (2005) presents non-specific film elements, which refer to lighting, costumes, and scenery. Therefore, this study seeks to expand research related to colors, but with a focus on audiovisual productions. The research is supported by the moving image analysis methodology proposed by Diane Rose (2002). Through it, it was possible to categorize the scenes and cut the object to map how the use of colors express traces of changes in the characters Chuck Bass and Blair Waldorf throughout the plot, from the frames taken from the Gossip Girl series and present as the non-specific elements of Martin (2005) collaborate in the construction of the characters. Therefore, with this work, we can see that colors alone are not capable of transmitting the entire message of narrative composition, but with the articulation between colors and non-specific film elements, it is possible to create this ambiance, which contributes to the construction of the audiovisual narrative.
