Demonstration of the syllabus coherence with the UC intended learning outcomes

In order to adapt the production of a content to the various media, it is necessary to develop analytical and understanding skills that allow an effective form of communication.

In order to understand television genres, it is essential to identify the genesis in cinematographic language and the metamorphic experience in a language specific to the television medium, creating an autonomous and common grammar with the cinema that, in this lateral relation, also takes its new mutations.
Understanding these autonomies and contaminations helps to identify gender, and the set of coordinates and strategies that determine it.

Knowing the publics, the markets, the new platforms, the distribution circuits, the new habits of consumption of audiovisual products, as well as the different processes of production of the various audiovisual genres allows to identify trends, adopt strategies and new approaches.

Teaching methodologies

Oral presentation supported by audiovisual content (cinematographic works, television programs, publications, video clips, self-promotions), theoretical-practical classes of discussion and analysis; field trips.
In this C.U. The student is invited to deconstruct various audiovisual products in their form and content, to distinguish the identifying markers and a replica them in style exercises.

Demonstration of the teaching methodologies coherence with the curricular unit's intended learning outcomes

In this Curricular Unit the student is expected to take a critical look and acquire analytical skills in the visualization of audiovisual contents, identifying the technical and creative requirements that intervene in the construction of the narrative and expressive discourse of audiovisual language.
