Claroscuros. Análisis de la influencia del tono visual del expresionismo alemán en la escritura del guion cinematográfico

Visual tone is a simple and effective resource that audiovisual filmmakers have used in their works to convey emotions to the viewer through the contrast between light and shadow. However, there was an avant-garde cinematic movement that imbued visual tone with dramatic, narrative, and symbolic connotations that remain relevant to this day. This is German Expressionism, whose long shadow we will trace through the analysis of several scenes from iconic films, placing special emphasis on the impact of light and shadow from the very conception of the script. The intention is to articulate theory, analysis, and practice of audiovisual work through the study of visual tone.
