Objectives

- Understanding the visual grammar in photography and in film;

- Analyze the representation space and its meaning from compelling projects in the history of photography and film;

- Purchasing a visual discourse that presents itself as a field of exchange between communication experiences related to the image;

- Mastering visual skills to broaden knowledge capable of stimulating the relationship between photography and cinema.

Learning outcomes and competences

Acquire theoretical and practical knowledge that enables students to understand the importance of image in art projects.

Working method

Presencial

Program

Acquire knowledge and skills that relate to the production of still images and moving images. The content structuring that characterizes this course is divided between the exploitation of technological support, inseparable from the image capture, and the methods of research, experimentation and reflection used in the construction of specific projects.

Calculation formula of final grade

Upon delivery of each project the students will be placed in alphabetical scale from A to F, which make up a split between the articulation of concepts (theoretical foundation) and the materialization of the project (technical field capacity). At the end of each project evaluations will be published so that the student is aware of their classification throughout the semester. In addition to projects developed to assess teacher attendance, curiosity in science and technology, the use of technical language and concepts appropriate, the participation and involvement of students in school activities beyond the classroom context. Projects that have not been properly monitored during the course of the semester will not be reason for evaluation.
