- Abstract
Director Pedro Almodóvar's concern for aesthetic elements of his films is one of the features that defines his career and reaches the design of the credit titles as a cover letter of his productions. From this premise, the research has focused on photography as an element that contributes to its graphic design. To address this issue, three specific objectives are set: To determine the formulas used by this filmmaker to include photographic images in the graphic design of the credit titles to compare the opening and closing credits and to establish their characteristic features based on the visual content they use and their relationship with the characters and cinematographic narration in Mujeres al borde de un ataque de nervios (1988), Tacones Lejanos (1991) and La mala educación (2004). Methodologically, the qualitative version of the content analysis was used where, from the complete filmography of Pedro Almodóvar, a delimited sample based on the credit titles that have photographic images was selected. To determine the categories, a self-made classification was developed that starts from Inceer and Vanoye for the study of visual elements, from Laibag for the relationship between the credit titles and the film narration and from Dubois and Parejo for the form of insertion of the credits. The results show four formulas that reveal the presence of photography in the credit titles: the Time-lapse, the profilmic, the frozen image and the insertion of photographs. The latter refers to real objects whose most recurrent visual motifs correspond to collage, fragmentation, artificial chromaticism, repetition of content, symmetry and visual metaphor (which marks the relationship of the credits with the characters and the film narration).
