Objectives

In the curricular unit of Sound and Image Labs we will validate and deepen the knowledge acquired in previous years. Concepts and techniques in the fields of sound and image will be put to the service of the production of audiovisual and multimedia content.

Being an eminently practical discipline, we will explore the aesthetic and creative potential of the technological tools, here regarded as expressive means of a sound and visual discourse. This course will result in the production of linear and non-linear documentaries.
