The paper presents an analysis of Titãs - a vida até parece uma festa(2009), by Branco Mello e Oscar Rodrigues Alves, a documentary about the history ofBrazilian band Titãs. The analytical model is adopted from Casetti and Di Chio’s proposal(1991), especially for determining the procedures for decomposition and recomposition ofthe film. The elements studied were the beep codes as narrative resources, the plot and theorganization of the work given by cinematic montage for integration between music and film. This film analysis recognizes the assertions proposed by the documentary and seeks tounderstand the film narrative joints through the formal elements adopted. As a theoreticalproposal for understanding the documentary specificities, this article considers the conceptsof the non-fiction film as presented by Ramos (2008) and film editing proposed by Aumont(1994).
