Our goal is to reach the comprehension on how a documentary filmmaker turns into a cinematographic author, by analyzing his or her film`s characters. We believe that, in observing the construction of these narrative existents, one can identify some of the processes that lead to the film director’s manifested personal style, guaranteeing him or her a author status. This research`s object is the work of João Moreira Salles, one of Brazil’s most distinguished documentary filmmakers. We will investigate three selected scenes from Nelson Freire (2003), Entreatos (2004) and Futebol`s third chapter (1998). Our major interest in each segment is to observe the main characters and the traits that compose them, is to say, the actions and habits one can perceive on these existents through the narrative structrures. Our approach on the object is modeled by film analysis, following the scene description instruments proposed by Aumont and Marie. Serving as a guide to this observation, three typologies were defined: these are recurrent types that can bring a better comprehension on certain phenomenons connected to the research’s object. The typologies – character, nomadism and authorship – were conceived from a selection of ideas we consider fundamental in the investigation’s purposes and its chosen theme and objects.
