The aim of the course is to explore and understand the languages of multimedia, through the study of the techniques involved in the design of different types of audiovisual works: films, music videos and advertisements. The main focus is on the methodological and process approach, following the steps from design to final execution. The course emphasises the integration of theory, tools and creative techniques for the production of a work in different contexts, while also analysing, from a practical perspective, functional sustainability and the overall relationships and roles within the working group.
