In-Depth Information
This third option effectively allows the analyst to describe an audiovisual text
shot by shot, subject by subject, in as much detail as he wishes, from different points
of view, etc. It also enables the analyst only to take account of certain segments, or
even just one.
However, both analytical options are approached in the same way - a passage, a
segment of an audiovisual text being a
structural entity
in itself, a
text*
in the same
way as the audiovisual text taken “in its entirety”.

Figure 2.5 shows the main sections offered to the analyst to carry out an analysis
of an audiovisual text in its entirety or of a particular passage (“segment”). They are
grouped together to form the

of analysis distinguished below:

sections make up what we call
the
paratextual analysis*
of an audiovisual text in its entirety or of one of its
segments. Paratextual analysis relates to the description and explicitation of the
identity of an audiovisual text and/or of its different segments. It also includes the
description of aspects relating to intellectual property rights and usage rights of an
audiovisual text (or one of its segments), etc.
