Algumas posturas e trajetórias da pesquisa em roteiro

It is difficult to define the audiovisual script as an area of ​​knowledge, as well as difficult to identify the object of script studies. In my book Roadmap: history, theory and practice (2009), I drew the following conclusion about this "object problem: The script is not an "object in any sense: ~a practice and, as such, it uses a set of processes, techniques and devices that are organize in different ways at different times. Although this arrangement relates to what can be seen as an "object - say hands, a script or a film - it is not clear whether it is the script or the film that must be treated as an object in this context: the scripts transform occur throughout the production of films, vary in form and function and according to the different types of cinema production; and the movies are much more than mere products that only exist at the end of the process (Maras, 2009: 11).
