Description


This is an eminently practical subject, with the aim of creating a program of reports. The success of the subject is that the academic works are disseminated through tvmataró, the television of Mataró and Maresme, located in the Bis Lligonya Studies, within the Tecnocampus. This goal requires a standard of professional quality and the students' commitment to work with the rigor and honesty typical of journalistic work for a public media outlet.

The subject revolves around the interests of the students themselves. It includes the entire process of creating a television report, from genesis to impact. This means the conception, both of the form and of the message; production, with the corresponding adaptation to time and available resources; the assembly and, finally, the definition of a program to present the different works.

That is why this is a subject of the third quarter of the fourth year, because it consists of applying all the knowledge acquired with subjects such as History of audiovisuals and video games, Language and audiovisual expression, audiovisual scripting, audiovisual production, television and contemporary television production.

The classroom (physical or virtual) is a safe space, free of sexist, racist, homophobic, transphobic and discriminatory attitudes, either towards students or towards teachers. We trust that together we can create a safe space where we can make mistakes and learn without having to suffer prejudice from others.

  • Linguistic correction

Other issues to consider:

  • Late deliveries will not be accepted
  • Suspended exercises will not be televised
  • To pass the subject, you must pass the reporting exercise
  • Identification of plagiarism is considered a serious circumstance that may result in a failing grade for an activity. In case of detection of plagiarism, the coordination of the degree will be informed so that the corresponding disciplinary measures can be taken.
  • Good practice in the management and use of materials and equipment is essential in any work and learning environment, and in the different subjects of the degree, care is taken to inculcate this good practice. Thus, any breach of the Sermat regulations pending amendment will be considered malpractice with repercussions on the normal development of the subject and its qualification, until its amendment.
