Theoretical Module
Knowledge of the fundamental elements of digital language.
Knowledge of the aesthetical transformations of audiovisuals products, caused by the digital age, in both mainstream digital cinema, independent cinema and television.
Knowledge of production and distribution methods of the digital universe.

Knowledge of movie production in the digital era.
Creative use of new "non conventional" digital tools of filmaking (portable devices, gopro, etc.)

Students are not required prior knowledge, only skill in analyzing the media language and creative skills in the practical production.

Theoretical module
Learning will be faced by movie and audiovisual products watching (both complete or shorter clips), this way students will be able to get constant visual feedback of theoretical topics.

The course will focus on analyzing visual products which use, even in different ways, the new digital potential.
Practical module
During the practical course students will directly experiment professional practices tied to the digital filmaking. All the aspects of practical and theoretical cinematography aspects will be studied in depth. Many of the practical activities will take place outside the class, to let students "touch by hand" what digital filmaking means.

Theoretical lesson will take place in the classroom.
Practical lessons will take place both in and outside the classroom .
