Profissão Repórter: o repórter cinematográfico como parte importante da construção da notícia

Abstract

Historically, the cinematographic reporter has not received due credit for their work, often seen merely as a technical role within television journalism and not exactly as a journalist in fact. The aim of this study is to demonstrate how this professional is an important part of news construction and to justify the need for valuing the cinematographic reporter, as well as recognizing and understanding the impact their work has on television journalism. The chosen object of study was an edition of the Globo program Profissão Repórter, which stands out for revealing the behind-the-scenes of news, which will be important for understanding the significance of the cinematographic reporter during content production. To conduct the investigation, we will use Analysis of the Audiovisual Materiality as our methodology, which allows us to analyze the audiovisual product without separating the text from other elements such as image, sound, editing, etc. Based on the analysis, it is possible to infer as preliminary results that the decisions made by the cinematographic reporter, such as equipment choices, framing, camera angles used, among others, demonstrate the importance of this professional's work for television journalism.
