This subject is an immersive journey into the world of television creation, an opportunity to transform ideas into tangible projects, to imagine new stories and give them form and rhythm until they become a viable format for the audiovisual sector. Thus, it is aimed at those students who want to delve deeper into the narrative and expressive mechanisms of television, taking the knowledge acquired in the second and third year Television subjects further. Here this knowledge will be put into practice with a clear objective: to develop an original proposal and turn it into a solid project capable of seducing the industry.

The culmination of this process will be the presentation of the proposals to the audiovisual pitching organized by the Audiovisual Cluster of Catalonia in the framework of the Audiovisual Talent Week. This is a real scenario where ideas can become professional opportunities. Throughout the term, the student will experience the complete process of developing a television format: from the conception of the initial idea to the preparation of a professional dossier, including the creation of a pilot episode that tests the viability of the project. Teamwork will become essential, as will the ability to adapt to the dynamics of production and the challenges inherent to the television medium.

This is not a subject for passive spectators. It is a space for experimentation and active learning, where students will have the opportunity to build a unique proposal. Effort, involvement and passion for the medium will be the keys to making the most of this experience.

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.

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.
