The aim is for the student to understand and incorporate: the different expressive uses of the body and voice; the differences in time and rhythm; the differences between the camera's gaze and the audience's gaze; memory and concentration on set; emotional and physical management and control in repeated takes; close-ups, the gaze and the ability to dissociate physical actions from emotion; listening, reaction and counter-acting skills; the adaptation of impulse to the frame; creative imagination in building the character and reading scripts; autonomy and responsibility in large teams; physical and mental resistance for the filming process; the ability to analyse the practical process and present alternatives.

Teaching methodologies and assessment
Teaching methodologies and assessment
The student will have a simulated professional experience, focusing on their autonomy and creativity. From the script and character profile on paper, to filming and viewing the scene. The student's individuality is stimulated as well as their knowledge of some emblematic interpretations of excellent actors while incorporating different points of view on the scene and the character and learning to take responsibility for their place in the complex artistic and technical gear of the audio-visual medium.
