Content

The topics proposed are:

- Non-fiction and journalistic genres
- Production and routines
- The construction of non-fiction audiovisual narration: non-fiction formats
- New forms of non-fiction audiovisual expression
- Female references in the non-fiction audiovisual
Methodology
The agenda is organized by theoretical-practical components. The theoretical classes will provide a review of the journalistic genres present in the development of a non-fiction product and references, currents and audiovisual formats will be exposed in which the diversity and complexity of non-fiction narratives are expressed. The product that the students develop must reflect, on the one hand, the good use of journalistic practices (choice of a topic with a social impact, selection of reliable sources, journalistic treatment of the information) and, on the other, a creative narrative proposal. The seminars will mainly facilitate the analysis, reflection and debate around the processes of elaboration of the non-fiction audiovisual script.
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.
Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.
