Class Design Language

The Curricular Unit “Designatographic Language” is developed in the context of the image and images, understood as “Scenes” and “Sequences”, in logical associations between shots in the context of dramatic continuity. Images and sequences that group facts, gestures, and events, across places and times, in dynamic frames. Frames that delimit and determine the balance and plastic organization of the images. Framing from a perspective of inclusion of everything present in an image, or in a set of images: settings, characters, props, and actions. Image and sequences of images, understood in the context of a “performance”, which refer to the narrator's point of view, through a particular montage, and to the observer's point of view, through their experience. Finally, image and images, understood in the context of a design language.

In the context of innovative methodologies, this curricular unit aims to recover the gesture and action in the classroom, in a practical dimension that recovers the physical dimension of the output of the exercises and themes.
