In this class, students watch films and do their analysis and criticism, according to theoretical principles of editing, composition and rhythm. Students acquire the capacity for critical thinking in the face of narrative visual content. In parallel, the students apply this knowledge in the practical construction of storyboard and animatique, for the production of short animation shorts of mixed technique, where the interest in conducting the audio visual narrative prevails, in terms of framing and rhythms, essential to the construction of a movie.
