Presentation
This course aims to expand an understanding of the importance and potential of photography and film in contemporary design practice, studying its potential as a research tool. Challenge common definitions of photography and cinema while maintaining the disciplinary integrity of these practices. Students will participate in a critical dialogue with lecturers and fellow students with a view to developing, experimenting with and conceptualising projects that connect both disciplines. They will work in traditional and contemporary genres and processes in an expansive mode, including commercial, performative, documentary, installation and multiplatform images. Studios, black and white darkrooms and analogue and digital film processing facilities, lighting systems, state-of-the-art printers, computers and photographic and filming equipment are available to students.

Objectives
Objectives
Photography and Film II fosters the production of autonomous projects, research, methodological approaches, and the articulation of conceptual ideas through group critiques, practical work, and public presentations. The course aims to develop understanding and use of photography and film within communication design, drawing on a broad range of techniques and concepts from these media. It provides rigorous training in photography and moving image, exploring their intersections as a strategy that contributes to broader disciplinary formation. It also promotes an environment that stimulates creativity, intellectual curiosity, freedom of expression, and critical thinking. The programme includes the analysis of situations in which photography and film interact, encouraging reflection on the possibilities and limitations of each medium, as well as the study of their connections to real-world experience through the fundamentals of point of view, framing, sequence, and editing.

Teaching methodologies and assessment
Teaching methodologies and assessment
This course invests in the teaching–learning process through DIY technologies, which can be developed without relying on sophisticated image reproduction technology. It seeks inventive, low-cost approaches that enable the production and capture of images with high aesthetic and formal quality, using low-fi equipment. The search for alternative workspaces beyond the traditional photography studio also represents an important component in the processual innovation of this course.
