Learning Goals
At the end of this course students should have acquired skills to identify the features that must be taken care of
in an audiovisual production in order to enhance the use of post-production technologies and special effects
both in the image and sound, as well as their creation and operation through the tools available.

Teaching Methods
The methodologies proposed to teach the post-production and special effects course are mainly based on practical and interactive approaches. Learning will be project-based (PBL) and problem-based, and the "learn by doing" method. These strategies are complemented with case studies, aiming to provide students with an immersive and market-relevant learning experience.
The emphasis is on the practical application of knowledge, using professional equipment and software in situations that simulate real challenges of the audiovisual industry. Collaborative work is encouraged to replicate the professional environment, while continuous feedback and the integration of modern technologies are utilized to enhance the learning process. These methodologies aim not only to impart technical knowledge, but also to develop creative and problem-solving skills essential for success in the field.
