Class Scriptwriting

The course is part of audiovisual communication and aims to deepen creative mastery in the area. It is a laboratory course in which students research and develop their ideas, share them and discuss them collectively. The aim is to provide knowledge of the languages of different genres of audiovisual and cinematographic artistic production on the contemporary scene. The scripts drawn up during the course can be used as a basis for the Audiovisual Creation Project course in the following semester, where two short films are planned: fiction and documentary, to be presented as part of Multiplex.
