APPROACH
Theoretical/project based

This course introduces the students to the knowledge and design of multimedia installations, or of the use of new technologies for audiovisual productions (VR, virtual production, XR). All technical and theoretical tools will be provided for the students to manage different media at the same time, with a focus on audiovisual performance as well as on immersive and interactive storytelling, also using real-time systems.

This course is made of a single module of 6 CFA credits = 6 ECTS

Successful students will be able to:

• Define and analyse the features of an existing multimedia system: media, languages, goals, action and reaction dynamics, technology (hardware/software)

• Create simple interactive multimedia prototypes

On the course, the students will learn the basis of multimedia design in space (exhibitions, theatres, public spaces)

In the second stage, practical exercise will support the theoretical and professional learning of the multimedia design foundations (sound, visual and spatial)

This is a theoretical/project based course.

Over the course, the students will carry out the following didactic activities, which may vary depending on the themes that will be developed. 

• Front lectures

• Use of tutorials, videos or other media tools

• Exercises and revisions
