Learning Goals
Provide the student with knowledge about the basic fundamentals of video image creation, editing and export,
as well as the tools necessary to perform a critical and conscious reading of all aesthetic and conceptual
elements present in works of art involving this technology.
Skills to be acquired by the student:
- To creatively explore the different technical, aesthetic and conceptual procedures used in the different
phases of pre-production, production and post-production of video creation;
- Know how to understand and use different factors of an expressive and significant nature in the context of
video creation based on the manipulation of basic elements such as sound, text, image, lighting, scenery,
montage, time and rhythm;
- Know how to apply digital video editing tools in basic software;
- Understanding the historical process of video art and its fundamental role in the context of contemporary art,
so that the student develops his sense of critical observation and acquires diverse concepts that will allow him
to create innovative pieces of video.

Contents
1. Brief historical and aesthetic framework of video art: the birth of video art in the 1960s, video art and
political activism, the interrelations between video, performance and conceptual art, the specificities of the
medium such as reflexivity and intimate nature, appropriation and criticism of the mass media, video
installations and the links of this art with the cinema and the World Wide Web in the new millennium;
2. Pre-production - typification of planes, scene, sequence, angles and camera movements, field, time, space,
rhythm. Argument and script drawn schematic or storyboard, and shooting board. In terms of composition,
the importance of force vectors and image formats in the creation of meanings;
3. Production - the camcorder, handling and technical characteristics. Camera control mechanisms such as
lenses, aperture, diaphragm, focal length, depth of field, and zoom ring and focus. The tripods. Lighting and
basic concepts of optics, color mixing and temperature, projectors, reflectors, gels, and light manipulation.
Sound recording and basic concepts of acoustics, microphones, locution and interpretation;
4. Pre-production - the assembly as a producer of meaning in the modeling and modulation of the time: the
cuts between the planes, the transitions, the ink and methods of adjustment and correction of color in the
digital edition in basic software.

Teaching Methods
The programme consists of exercises, theoretical presentations of the content and study visits. Assessment is continuous, taking into account: attendance; commitment; creativity; progress, and mastery of knowledge. There will be continuous assessment tests and a final assessed by a jury made up of the subject teacher and course teachers.
In the NORMAL SEASON, students can opt for Continuous Assessment or Final Assessment. In the APPEAL, SPECIAL and EXTRAORDINARY SEASONS, students are guided by the Final Assessment system.
1. CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT:
a) Class participation: 20%;
b) Work carried out in under the supervision of the teacher and submitted to at least one periodic assessment: 40%;
c) Presentation and defence of work done in class: 40%.
- Final classification: sum of a), b) and c).
2. FINAL ASSESSMENT:
a) Work carried out in under the supervision of the teacher: 40 per cent;
b) Test on the subject content: 60%.
- Final classification: sum of a) and b).
