This practice will allow to carry out several control sessions: presentation of a first version of the work in class; delivery of a more elaborate version to be evaluated by the participants in the subject; and a final delivery of the video. c) Film tour in Madrid. One of the class sessions will be replaced by an excursion (3 hours long) to learn about the relationship between the city and fictional audiovisual productions.
