In groups, students develop scripts and complete three fiction exercises. With the instructor’s guidance, they go through pre-production, filming and post-production to experience team dynamics and make a short film in each exercise.  

An introduction to the language of non-fiction through references, themes and styles. Students look for a topic, develop the script and make a documentary piece, taking on the processes of pre-production, filming, editing and post-production. 

Analysis, preparation and direction of scenes based on the texts, proposals and games. Space, light, decorative elements, sound and audiovisual resources are explored to condense a process of representation into a brief mise-en-scène.

Design and set construction for a set based on a script. Includes documentation, technical script, storyboard, plans and presentation of the project, taking into account production constraints, location, construction, set design and filming. 

Introduction to the complete process of an audiovisual work, from the idea to the screen. Departments, roles and working relationships are studied, along with planning, organisation, materials and equipment management, and shoot production. 

A theoretical and practical workshop on filming techniques, aesthetics and visual storytelling. Through exercises and screenings, students develop their visual eye and create an individual photo-novel project with its own cinematic concept and style. 

Exploration of animation techniques and principles, from the idea to the animatic and filming. Includes character, background and props design, a stop-motion short film, and an introduction to Premiere, Photoshop, After Effects and output formats.

Practice filming and projection in 16 mm, in-camera and celluloid editing, and photochemical development in black and white. The workshop also explores the manual intervention on film and the creative possibilities of experimental cinema. 

An overview of the history and the expressive possibilities of the cut, from invisible editing to experimental editing. Topics include structure, counterpoint, mash-ups and emotional devices, with a practical introduction to Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve.

Fundamentals of screenwriting through exercises and challenges. The structures of short films, the dramatic construction of scenes, the character arc and conflict are explored to create coherent stories with rhythm and narrative purpose.

Introduction to technical concepts and sound equipment. Through listening and conceptualisation exercises, students explore spaces, create soundscapes and sonically transform given environments to understand sound as a narrative resource.

Historical and narrative study of music in cinema, basic concepts of rhythm and harmony and introduction to DAWs and MIDI. Includes practical use of the recording studio and the development of music applied to a scene. 

Theoretical and practical classes that explore specific topics in audiovisual disciplines, taught with the guidance of working professionals and linked to practical exercises. 

Practical sessions with a defined production objective. Students apply narrative, technical and creative knowledge, experiment with tools and processes, and analyse the results. 

Sessions focused on preparing for production, producing and completing the course projects. They bring together knowledge from different subjects and recreate the stages and basic dynamics of an audiovisual production.

Assessment is based on active participation in workshops, seminars and projects, as well as on applying theoretical and practical content in assignments set by each instructor. Each subject sets a submission or final project linked to its objectives. The process, commitment, acquisition of skills, quality of the evidence presented, and ability to work individually and as part of a team are assessed. To obtain the certified qualification, students must pass the assessable subjects and comply with the academic regulations.
