Poetica narațiunii în filmul documentar de eveniment
The poetics of narrative in the event documentary film

Summary/Abstract: The novelty of the present scientific study resides in the complex analysis of the ways of conceiving and making the event documentary film, which, as far as we know, has only rarely been under the analytical eye of specialists in the field. In this context, a theoretical framing of the circulating notions: event, event documentary, poetics, narratology and narrative strategies, was undertaken. Usually, the writing of the verbal discourse of a documentary is done after the montage (editing) operation, when the selected images are compiled into an attractive and coherent story. The narrator’s comments strengthen the suggestive potential of the images (a sequence of real events) and represent the final stage of the creative process. The narrative text ensures the transition between ideas; a matter more difficult to achieve only through visual material. As for the narrative strategies (the set of media discourse construction techniques), we will show that the classical poetics, often linear, which exactly observes the moments of the subject (introduction, plot, unfolding of the action, climax, denouement and conclusion) is replaced by modern compositions in which dilemma situations, spatial-temporal reversals, subtle comments predominate, so that the revelation of meanings occurs gradually, through fine accumulations of relevant facts.
