T2_That students have the ability to work as members of an interdisciplinary team either as one more member, or performing management tasks in order to contribute to developing projects with pragmatism and a sense of responsibility, making commitments taking into account the available resources
The subject belongs to the field of image, technique and content creation.
The various topics covered in the course are designed to train students to learn and deepen the audiovisual narrative with a fixed camera or with movement either in dialogues with various characters or with follow-up.
The subject enables them to work in groups, solve problems with initiative, create their own content according to an audiovisual narrative and know how to work with a professional video camera.

• LO1: Identify the concepts of audiovisual language. [linked to E.5., G.5.]
• LO2: Make a small digital video production according to a pre-established script. [linked to E.5.]
• LO3: Carry out a basic video post-production to assess the understanding of the fundamental aspects of an audiovisual production with moving images. [linked to E.5.]
• LO4: Define a basic film project (literary adaptation, work team, economic study, ...) [linked to E.5., T.2., G.5.]
• LO5: Understand video camera technology and the digital environment. [linked to E.5.]
• LO6: Work professionally on video techniques based on the characteristics of the recording. [linked to E.5., T.2. , G.5.]
• LO7: Have the ability to evaluate technical and creative resources when dealing with different types of recording. [linked to E.5., T.2., G.5.]
LO8: Acquire theoretical and practical knowledge of the different technological and narrative tools when recording an audiovisual product. [linked to E.5., G.5.]
• LO9: Know how to work in a team and fulfill a specific role within the group that allows them to manage with maximum efficiency [linked to T.2.]
• LO10: Understand the different narrative elements of film editing [linked to E.5., G.5.]
• LO11: Encourage the study and analysis of the audiovisual as a narrative language with the intention that the student develops his / her critical and stylistic capacity when developing a project or valuing others. [linked to E.5., G.5.]
Complementary:
• RAC1: Understand and identify the different mechanisms of staging [linked to E.5., G.5.]
• RAC2: Assimilate notions related to the direction of actors [linked to E.5., G.5.]
The theoretical concepts will be presented in class by the teacher. In the same way, practical exercises will be solved that illustrate the theory to generate a debate in the classroom with the participation of the students.
In the practical activities the manipulation of the audiovisual material will be carried out. Practices are a fundamental part of the classes, as they serve to show in a tangible and direct way the theoretical concepts taught in class. The internships will increase their level of complexity and consequently, the requirement in their quality and in their delivery time will be affected. Therefore, the commitment on the part of the students when delivering the audiovisual materials on time is basic.

1. Practical classes:
Activities will take place on both sets. The TCM as well as the M1TV. You will be informed of the rules to follow and the terms to carry them out. It is necessary to be punctual during the Practices in set. Lack of punctuality will not be allowed. Audiovisual projects will be delivered via e-mail with a Vimeo link on the day of delivery marked by the teacher. The emails will always have the title of the internship in addition to the components that make up the working group sorted alphabetically by their last name and the project report. Any Activity that does not comply with these rules or that is delivered outside the marked date will obtain a 0 regardless of the reason for not presenting it.
The activities written individually will take into account the spelling. A serious misconduct or several minor ones will mean not being able to get more than a 5 of maximum mark in the exercise or even to suspend it. In the works a fault will discount 0,5 points, whereas in the examination will discount 0,25. Under no circumstances will an exercise outside the delivery date set by the teacher be accepted, regardless of the student's justification. The individual activities will be delivered in paper format, or through the Moodle platform. Activities without a name or without following the established presentation delivery format will not be evaluated, and the numerical grade will be 0.

The evaluation of the subject is separated between theoretical content, taught in class, and practice in the laboratory (set).
The theoretical content will be evaluated in a test (Final Exam) that will suppose 40% of the final note of the asignatura. There will also be practical theoretical work. The work will be related to issues of staging and narrative language and will take place during one of the theoretical sessions. The sum of the grade for this work will be 10% of the final grade.
The practices will be scored as follows: Activity 0 will be worth 5% of the final grade; activity 1 will be worth 10% of the final grade; Activity 2 will be worth another 10% of the final grade of the subject; and finally the 3 25%. An undelivered Activity will be equivalent to a 0 of numerical mark. In the latter case, 15% will be evaluated by the internship teacher and 10% by the theory teacher (the theoretical part could consist of the piece + a presentation of the students explaining its characteristics with respect to the staging).
Apart from the activities mentioned, there will be a voluntary option that will consist of presenting a project at the Calella Film Festival. Those who participate in the contest will receive an extra 5% on their grade. There may also be several voluntary activities in the theoretical classes that will mean an extra 1% in the final grade.
To be able to average, the mark of the theoretical exam must be at least a 5.
To be able to average, the mark of the set of the three practices will have to be at least of a 5.
In case of failing the theoretical exam, the recovery will consist of a theoretical exam of all the content of the subject that will average with the average mark of the practices (if these are approved) and with the marks of the rest of activities. Only those students who have taken the final exam can apply for recovery (all those students "not presented" in the first call do not have the option to take the recovery). The minimum mark to pass this exam will also be a 5, otherwise the subject will be suspended.
In case of suspending the practical part of the subject, the student will have to realize an individual activity of recovery that will equivalent to 40% of the practical percentage of the subject. The minimum grade to pass this test will also be a 5, otherwise the subject will be suspended.
Those students who have not presented themselves in the internships during the term will not be able to access this recovery practice and their grade will include a Not Presented. The internship grade will not be saved from one course to another.
Summing up:
Activity 0 (Scenario): 5% of the grade
Activity 1 (Dialogue 2 characters): 10% of the grade.
Activity 2 (Dialogue 3 characters): 10% of the grade.
Activity 3 (Pursuit): 25% of the grade (= 15% practice + 10% theory)
Activity 4 (Work in the theoretical class): 10% of the mark.
Activity 5 (Final Exam): 40% of the mark.
Activity 6 (Calella Film Festival): + 5% extra
Total: 5%+10%+10%+25%+10%+40%=100% (+5%)
