Intended Audience

The Advanced Documentary audiovisual storytelling course is aimed at teachers and educators from across the country who have completed Begginer and are interested in learning another format that can be implemented in the classroom, to explore new forms of audiovisual storytelling.

Methodology

The course content will be developed based on the curricular structure: 

  • Learning by doing, learning through your own ideas and mistakes. 
  • Project-based learning. 

Practical and technical classes will be taught, designed for individual and group exercises. The practical classes will be complemented by technical classes in photography, camera, editing, sound, directing actors and actresses, and art direction. In addition, several complete short-film projects will be produced. Students will be supported throughout by Cinebase teachers, ESCAC graduates. 

Classroom attendance

Teachers who have completed the workshop will gain access to the Classroom Support programme. This involves the active participation of teachers trained in the Audiovisual Storytelling Course, with support from Cinebase in the classroom, studying, proposing and supervising specific workshop and project proposals for different schools that want to incorporate audiovisual storytelling into their curriculum.

More information 

Storytelling Handbook

Teachers who have completed the workshop will gain access to the Storytelling Handbook, a guide to practical exercises for use in the classroom. It will help teachers recreate the exercises from the workshop with their students in a practical and fun way. It contains more than 100 practical exercises organised in a simple database, where they can be filtered by complexity, duration, specialism, etc.

Frequently asked questions

Recognition Attendance Access Campus
  • I work outside Catalonia. Could the courses be officially recognised?
    • We offer recognition by the Departament d’Ensenyament of the Generalitat de Catalunya. Once you have completed the course, however, you can request a certificate from us to seek recognition in other autonomous communities.

  • I won’t be able to attend one of the course days. Can I still enrol?
    • Yes. The minimum attendance required for recognition is 80%.

  • I have technical knowledge of audiovisual media, but I’ve never studied with Cinebase. Which course should I enrol in?
    • Our courses for teachers aim to bring Audiovisual Storytelling into the classroom; they do not focus on technical audiovisual knowledge. Therefore, despite having prior knowledge, given how the courses are structured, we always recommend starting with Beginner.
