Cores do Silêncio : processo criativo do roteiro do primeiro episódio de série audiovisual

Abstract

This Final Undergraduate Project presents the creative process behind the writing of the pilot episode of the miniseries Cores do Silêncio, titled O Som Antes do Silêncio. The narrative follows Marcos, a young architect and poet who, after an accident, begins to live with a frontal lobe injury that triggers an involuntary “involuntary truth-telling” condition, characterized by the loss of the filter between thought and speech. The study describes the script development from the initial concept to the final version, emphasizing drafting and rewriting stages, structural decisions, and narrative adjustments made throughout the process. The project is grounded in bibliographic research and in screenwriting and dramaturgy frameworks used to support choices related to structure, rhythm, and character construction, drawing on authors such as Syd Field, Christopher Vogler, Robert McKee, Luiz Carlos Maciel, and Doc Comparato. In addition, the work mobilizes references on trauma, communication, and behavior to seek both verisimilitude and responsibility in portraying the protagonist’s condition.
