Voto Finale

Knowledge of the forms of audiovisual language and development of the ability to analyse images, audiovisual materials, and filmic and non-filmic archive documents.
The course aims to provide basic knowledge of the lineaments of film and television history and an understanding of the possible forms of representation, documentation and valorisation of the landscape.

The course will alternate a historical path dedicated to the evolution of media, with particular reference to photography, cinema and television, with an analytical path dedicated to the forms of representation of the landscape. Case studies will develop the ability to understand how visual/audiovisual productions in national and international contexts contribute to shaping the imagery of a landscape and constitute an economic driver in an area.
After an introductory part on audiovisual language and a history of the evolution of the media landscape, we will continue with case studies on the forms of representation with particular attention to certain landscapes (urban, seaside...) and finally we will carry out an in-depth study on cine-tourism with reference to regional film commssion policies and as a tool for constructing the tourist experience.

Weeks 1-5 - Introduction to film language. History of Italian cinema and television. Film analysis.
