Geoparque Quarta Colônia: entre trilhas e rochas

Abstract

The Appsérie Between Trails and Rocks is a product developed about the Quarta Colônia Geopark as an experimental project for the Final Course Project in the Journalism program at the Universidade Federal do Pampa (Unipampa). Its objective is to present the Geopark through short videos published on TikTok, on the profile (@entre.trilhas.e.r). The theme was chosen due to the limited knowledge people have regarding the Quarta Colônia Geopark, which is an area of international importance, recognized as a UNESCO Global Geopark. The methodology applied was pre-production, production, and post-production (Puccini, 2007). For the production of the material, we constructed the scripts before the recordings, as visits needed to be made to some of the cities where the Geopark is located to collect images. In total, four episodes were produced: one presenting the work done, the second introducing the Quarta Colônia Geopark, the third focusing on local culture and gastronomy, and the fourth highlighting the waterfalls.
