N2 - The research work carried out answers the following question, how are the elements of audiovisual language presented in the scenes of the episode “Face Off” of the series Breaking Bad, season 4 (2022)? The objective is to analyze the audiovisual language of the series “Breaking Bad”, the thirteenth episode “Face to Face” of the fourth season, created by Vince Gilligan in 2008. The methodology applied in this research is qualitative, with a phenomenological approach, making use of the method of content analysis and observation sheets to process the data, which resulted in the greater use of open shots and joint shots in almost half of the 63 scenes, where normal angles and the still camera predominate. In addition, the greatest use is made of artificial lights, intangible lights, side, filler and base lights. On the other hand, the images are saturated and with a nuance that leans toward warm, using interior and exterior scenery, both natural and artificial. On the other hand, the use of garments surpasses the use of makeup, performances by non-professional stars, actors and performers. In terms of sound, the use of voices is quite noticeable, while asynchronous, synchronous, spatial and studio sounds appear to a lesser extent. In conclusion, the Breaking Bad series makes correct use of image and sound, generating harmony and dynamism in them.
