Objectives
The web offers countless opportunities for the production and distribution of content. The reportage and documentary find in it a suitable place to generate new creative dynamics of interrelation with the receiver. In addition, it offers the possibility for the author-scriptwriter himself to become a producer of his own projects. In the digital age, the integration of the public in the very process of creation, production and dissemination of content forces us to review the evolution of the relationship between the medium and audience-users. Knowing the origins of this media logic will allow the student to understand the limits and possibilities of the new interactive formulas present in current audiovisual practices. Likewise, the growing prominence of mobile devices poses a challenge for the formulation of innovative narratives and the development of their own language that adapts to the new socio-technological context. From the theoretical knowledge acquired throughout the first sessions, the student will be able to generate proposals of an experimental nature in which the generation of interactive and immersive materials acquires a special role.
