This Community is based on a course that serves as an introduction to the creation and production of television programmes and audio-visual new formats in general. Fundamentals of Television Direction focuses on the concept of the global television sphere as an agent in shaping the values of democracy, diversity, social responsibility, citizen participation, collective knowledge and creativity applied to media, arts and culture. All these values introduce the concept of “quality television”, which is approached in a theoretical and practical way. In order to offer valuable insights and firm criteria for understanding this subject, the community deals with the notion of television and audio visual “formats” from a technical, narrative and aesthetic point of view, but also from a conceptual content-driven approach, including a variety of perspectives as communication and media studies, discourse analysis, media literacy, postcolonial theories, cross-cultural studies, social and political sciences. The community aims to analyse and understand the dimension of television, but also to learn how producing television and new audio-visual formats serve as a tool to build a more functional society.
