1. International trends in television programming.
2. Trends in radio programming and new sound expressions.
3. Trends in audiovisual journalism.
4. Trends in advertising formats and TV insertion strategies.
5. Trends in film fiction in the digital age.

Activities and Methodology
| Title | Hours | ECTS | Learning Outcomes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Type: Directed | |||
| Seminars | 75 | 3 | 1, 2, 11, 5, 7 |
| Type: Supervised | |||
| Personal study | 50 | 2 | 1, 6, 3, 7, 4, 13 |
| Type: Autonomous | |||
| Lectures | 150 | 6 | 6, 9, 12, 5, 7, 4, 13 |
The methodology is a combination of lectures and seminars, in which it introduces case resolution. The interaction with the student from the reading of articles and / or industry reports, watching and auditions is the key to the development of the module.
A detailed schedule outlining the content of each session will be presented on the first day of the course and will be available on the course’s Virtual Campus, where students will find all teaching materials and necessary information for effective course monitoring. Should the teaching modality change for reasons of force majeure according to the competent authorities, the teaching staff will inform students of any modifications to the course schedule and teaching 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.
Assessment
Continous Assessment Activities
| Title | Weighting | Hours | ECTS | Learning Outcomes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Seminars | 10% | 2.5 | 0.1 | 1, 6, 3, 11, 12, 10, 8 |
| Test/Written work | 90% | 22.5 | 0.9 | 1, 6, 2, 3, 11, 9, 12, 5, 7, 10, 8, 4, 13 |
Students should carry out an individual exploratory work on a trend in the field of audiovisual and advertising content based on a practical case study. This must be contextualized in relation to the ecosystem and the programmatic genre to which it is ascribed. It is essential to define the variables that show a tendency.
In the event that the student performs any irregularity that may lead to a significant variation of an evaluation act, this evaluation act will be graded with 0, regardless of the disciplinary process that could be instructed. In the event, that several irregularities occur in the evaluation acts of the same subject, the final grade for this subject will be 0.
This subject doesn't provide for the single assessment system.
Students will receive a grade of "Not Evaluable" for this course if they fail to submit their individual project by the established deadline following the conclusion of the course.
The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies in this course is permitted only for those tasks and activities explicitly specified by each instructor during their sessions. Students must clearly identify any parts generated with these technologies, specify the tools used, and include a critical reflection on how AI has influenced the process and final outcome of the assignment. Failure to disclose the use of AI in this assessed activity will be considered a breach of academic integrity and may result in a partial or total penalty to the assignment grade, or more serious sanctions in severe cases.
