  • ObjectivosObjectives
    Acquire knowledge and artistic and technical competences in movement-image through narrative animated digital drawings. Animate forms and characters with digital techniques and methodologies. Develop competences in sequence drawings in non-linear video editing software, and export files. Analyze, interpret, and decode animated sequences through their narrative, moving and visual elements. The exercises and the animation project allow to continuously stimulate the production capacity of audio-visual content, as well as the acquisition of knowledge and skills in the interpretation and exploratory graphic creation of concepts and ideas. The approach to syllabus contents through the development of the project allow the continuous mobilization of technical knowledge and skills and facilitates the acquisition of vocabulary and methodological skills, leading to an easier integration into the labour market and collaborative projects.
