This subject consists in an introduction to the digital color and the composition. Its manly objective is to acquire different techniques and procedures of the professional composition with general knowledge of digital color. It is about encouraging reflection on some of the competences that build a good practice of composition. At the end of this course, the student will have to be able to combine their reflections with composition practices establishing the conceptual bases that will allow them to assimilate and structure a coherent and reasoned methodology of the composition: prior stage (definition and formats), execution phase (creativity, accuracy, optimization) and subsequent phase (revision and quality control QC). Internationalization of students through learning by doing with terminologie, comments and experiencies.

It works through different active teaching methodologies and project-based learning. Although there are Master Classes, the demonstrative and practical ones predominate. These are carried out by the students individually with the continuous supervision of the teacher.
At certain moments of the syllabus, learning based on problems and exercises is applied, so that the student has to face situations that make him leave his comfort zone. In this process, the student has to think about solving more complex situations by merging various techniques and applying the theory.
At the beginning of each session, any doubts that resulted from the previous practice or session are resolved. Afterwards, the theoretical-practical part is discussed so that students have the knowledge and tools necessary to develop the approaches and achieve the new goals
Didactic activities are offered with specific audiovisual material to become familiar with the technical vocabulary and develop their professional growth through practice and experience.
At the beginning of the course, the exercises that make up the continuous assessment of the entire semester and the route to follow to achieve the purpose of the subject are presented.
At the beginning of the most important practices, there is a reception of preparation, and at the end, a closing to draw conclusions and learn from mistakes.
Throughout the course, the student receives individual and group feedback to evolve and have the opportunity to correct, improve their work and have constant growth in their learning.
To assess whether the student has achieved an adequate degree of the objectives pursued by the subject, different continuous assessment activities are used, with an approximate weekly frequency.
Extraordinary recovery in July:
All works with a grade lower than 4 will be retaken or those works suspended if the average is suspended.
Deliveries that do not meet all the delivery requirements (render resolution, ACES, etc.) will also be suspended.
If there are deliveries with an NP rating, they will be evaluated to extraordinary, directly.
It will be necessary to re-submit the indicated works to recover in the extraordinary call in July.
The maximum grade of the subject in extraordinary is 5.
If more than half of deliveries have the grade of NP, it will be considered that the subject cannot be recovered and will have to be repeated the following course.
Students who do not attend, without justification, 70% of the classes of a subject will lose the right to the final evaluation and the recovery of July. In this case, the subject must be repeated the following year.
