Description


International Creative Project is an intensive program where Tecnocampus students work on a multidisciplinary audiovisual project with the help of a mixed team of teachers and mentors made up of Tecnocampus teachers and Technische Hochschule Brandenburg (THB) teachers.

During this project the Tecnocampus students will have to coordinate with an international student team. With the aim of developing this audiovisual product, the students will work on the different skills of a project of these characteristics such as: brainstorming techniques and the conception of ideas; the management of teams and professional profiles in an audiovisual project; the selection and use of the technologies and tools necessary to carry out the project;; the management and correct planning of the work flow; the search for audiovisual material on the field; production, editing and post-production and documentation presentation and dissemination of the final material.

The interdisciplinary and international creation of the work teams also creates a unique space for interaction, enriched by the training and cultural activities proposed during the different stays in Mataró and Brandenburg. This cultural meeting is intended to be, based on the ability to analyze the different realities and shared points of view, one of the fundamental thematic axes of the proposals.

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

Evaluation system


The evaluation of the subject is based on a continuous process of project development in its different phases. These mark four installments which will have the objective of making the initial ideas evolve towards a final prototype of them.

Delivery 1. Visual treatment

The visual treatment is a document that aims to be a first approach to the conceptualization of the proposals. It is a document that develops ideas and generates mood boards and visual concepts around the subject, the possible formalizations and the work methodology. It involves working on the analysis of references and generating methods to conceptualize and begin to formalize ideas. The possible variety of project formats will involve adapting to the most suitable methodologies for each one.

The assessment of this delivery is qualitative (moodle).

Delivery 2. Results Stay 1

On the last day of the stay, a presentation of the content produced so far will take place, with the reception of a feedback of a qualitative nature by the teaching staff. At this point the projects will be in the production phase and the feedback it is designed to plan possible changes or aspects to be improved for the following phases.

An individualized report on the experience of the stay and working with the team is also requested in this installment.
