Objectives
The course focuses on the analysis of theories of digital audiovisuals, starting with cinema and television and ending with social media. the objectives are: a) to develop in students an awareness of the complexity of the mediascape in which we live; b) to develop an awareness of the importance of the knowledge and application of theories of digital audiovisuals, processes and practices in contemporary society and different professional contexts; c) to develop a critical capacity to analyse and elaborate the principles, forms, practices and modes of expression of digital audiovisuals, from comics to cinema, television and social media.
