Teaching targets and expected learning Outcomes
The course aims to deepen the storytelling transmedia practices that characterize the contemporary media system, both in theoretical and practical terms; the specific objectives concern both the ability to analyze, understand and interpret cross-media phenomena (web, television, digital environment) and to develop real models, with particular focus on the migration of television content into web and social networks. The main object of study will be the cross-media evolution of the contemporary audiovisual segment that explores the hybridization possibilities and development integrated with other media, from the most traditional (publishing, radio and web) to the more growth ones (digital devices, mobile, Social network).

The expected learning outcomes therefore indicate:
knowledge of the contemporary media ecosystem
awareness of the role of the consumer and the media consumer
creative and realizative ability of cross-media texts
cross-media development of the product

The course will cover the theoretical and practical study of the following forms of texts:
- adaptation of narrative texts from one media system to the other (cinema, tv series, comics)
- adaptation of non-fiction formats
- cross-media development of a television product
