The news in 35 mm

approach to the production and realization of “Filmed History”

Abstract

The main idea of this article is to propose in what form and with what objectives cinematographic news programs were created in Uruguay between 1940 and 1950. With special emphasis on the comparison with similar experiences at regional and international level, a brief panorama of the relationship between the Uruguayans and the cinematographic production and the insertion of cinematographic news programs in it is offered. Finally, the article tries to bring some elements of technical consideration of the production of newsreels, both from the point of view of the materials used and of the people who carried them out.
