Theory teacher: Fran Pinel
Internship teacher: Adrià Olea
E5_Design and make an audiovisual product (consisting of still or moving images), taking into account both its technical and artistic aspects, in all its components
E7_Postproduce video using the basic tools of audiovisual editing programs (titling, color and exposure retouching, speeds, masks ...) and how to insert them into the editing process by adding digital effects
The subject focuses on video post-production processes.
The classes combine three areas: theoretical explanation of concepts related to post-production, with special attention to technology, analysis of audiovisual works from the point of view of post-production, and applied post-production practice.
It is intended that the student understands all the necessary post-production stages and the most important technical aspects related to each of them. On the other hand, it is intended that the student knows and performs practically all the processes in each of the facets to complete an audiovisual work with the highest quality and in any format.
The subject mainly addresses concepts of digital composition, related to the post-production of audiovisual fiction content. In its theoretical part, it covers different composition techniques, such as keying, tracking and rotoscoping, as well as an introduction to the world of VFX. In the laboratory, the work focuses on color treatment processes. The supporting software for the course contents are After Effects and DaVinci Resolve.
Through the various theoretical and practical knowledge acquired in the subject, the student will be able to understand and use the necessary elements of the different processes that make up the video post-production.

The evaluation of the subject is divided between the evaluation activities of Theory (55%) and Practices (45%).
In particular:
The Internship part has 45%, distributed as follows:
Activity 1 (Balancing shots of a film sequence): 10%
Activity 2 (Advanced color correction and viewer focus in a film sequence): 10%
Activity 3 (Recreating the visual style of a film): 15%
Activity 4 (Exam / practice): 10%
The part of Theory counts 55%, distributed of the following way:
Activity 5 (Keying): 10%
Activity 6 (Integration with tracking): 10%
Activity 7 (Composition of a sequence): 15%
Activity 8 (Theory exam): 20%
Rules for evaluation:
The subject evaluates theoretical and practical knowledge. In this sense, to make an average, both the theoretical part (exam and work) and the practical part (exam, and practices) will be taken into account.
It is necessary to obtain a minimum of 5 in the theoretical part and a minimum of 5 in the practical part to be able to realize the final average. It is necessary to deliver all the practical activities to be able to average the practical part.
It is necessary to attend a minimum of 80% of the practical sessions so that the deliveries related to the practical part of the subject average.
Recovery:
There is no recovery of the practical activities and exercises of the subject, except for Activity 5 (Practice exam), which will consist of a similar test.
As for the theoretical part, only Activity 8 (Final theory exam) can be retaken, and the retake test will consist, again, of an exam on all the theoretical content of the subject.
Information regarding plagiarism:
Identification of plagiarism is considered a serious circumstance that may lead to a failing grade in the subject. In case of detection of plagiarism, the coordination of the degree will be informed so that the corresponding disciplinary measures can be taken.
