O uso das técnicas de edição de vídeos em campanhas de desinformação

Abstract

This dissertation aimed to investigate the use of audiovisual editing techniques in disinformation campaigns, considering this as a factor that directly interferes with the exercise of citizenship in contemporary times. We started from the issue of the significant use of audiovisual support as a tool in the dissemination of ideas and narratives, where we recognize that its use in disinformation campaigns can be quite problematic. The scenario of the advance of the extreme right in democratic elections and the use of fake/misleading news about SARS-CoV-2, during the pandemic, motivated us to defend the development of one of the many skills that the new generations must have to deal with this problem in a more responsible and autonomous way, generating an audiovisual literacy that is directly related to the way in which individuals inform themselves in times of networked society. This theoretical research has the main objective of demonstrating how editing techniques are used in disinformation campaigns. To this end, we used authors from different areas of knowledge, with emphasis on Nelson Pretto and Guillermo Orozco who deal with the use of technologies and media in the area of ​​Education; Massimo Di Felice and Egle Muller Spinelli in the approach to the ideas of digital citizenship in the area of Communication; and Walter Murch in what concerns the theory of audiovisual editing. This work demonstrates how editing techniques are used to misinform and that the practice of video editing is one of the possible paths to audiovisual literacy, which will strengthen more critical citizen action in confronting disinformation campaigns.
