Content

Bearing in mind that students have studied the Audiovisual Guion of Fiction course, the topics proposed in the temary will focus on the complexity of the production of non-fiction audiovisual scripts. The topics proposed are:

- From the fact to the narration of non-fiction
- The audiovisual material. Production and routines.
- The audio-visual conversation
- The construction of the non-fiction audiovisual narration
- New forms of non-fiction audiovisual expression.

Methodology

This subject has a theoretical-practical component that is reflected in the approach of the temary. The theoretical classes will provide the basic concepts that the students will have to develop in their work project.


This must be used to verify the contents of the subject. The seminars will mainly facilitate the analysis, reflection and debate about the construction processes of the non-fiction audiovisual script.


The proposed teaching methodology and evaluation activities may undergo some modifications depending on the health authorities' attendance restrictions.


The calendar will be available on the first day of class. Students will find all information on the Virtual Campus: the description of the activities, teaching materials, and any necessary information for the proper follow-up of the subject. In case of a change of teaching modality for health reasons, teachers will make readjustments in the schedule and methodologies.
