Summary/Abstract: Light Video Production Studios started its shootings for a documentary of anthropological analysis on an old Romanian dance (Căluş). This article presents a case study on the pre-writing the script. The documentary involves several steps: documentation, setting the approach, selecting the dominant themes, selection of specialists, development of questionnaires etc. A dance of horses, Căluş is a solar dance, with bellicose meanings and in the same time catabasic, using more symbols, such as muteness, the magical flight, the horse, the magic plants, death and rebirth. Therefore, we propose five thematic approach angles. Between image types we have chosen the Mystical image, as Gilbert Durand deemed to have a great capacity for sensory suggestion.
