This article focuses on the relationship between a cinematographic corpus and a music structure in. This discussion is followed by the introduction of the concept of ‘film symphony’ [‘sinfonia fílmica’] as well as its viability related to ‘Sal de Prata’. Carlos Gerbase’s ‘Sal de Prata’ (2005) is a film organized through narrative intertitles that refer to a symphonic structure through their semantic content. This text discusses the notion of structure in music and movies, including the concept of film editing. The discussion is complemented by anchorage, concept proposed by Barthes (1964) to designate one of the functions of the linguistic message on the iconic message. This article aims at a reflection on the multifaceted usage of music in the cinematographic complex, contributing to the construction of this interdisciplinary area of study.
Key words: cinema, music, film music, film symphony, ‘Sal de Prata’ (film).
