From the creation to the promotion of the final product and to the management of the content delivery platforms, didactics deals with all the important moments of the story and of the development of the narrative and production moments through workshops, simulations, case studies and on-going tests of the results achieved.
Moreover, in order to develop a higher awareness of the use of the different platforms, theory is integrated with video editing, web editing and game editing practical laboratories, and with the collaboration with representatives of broadcasters and production and distribution 0companies.
The course includes practical exercises and the realization of a final project work launching a movie or a multiplatform audio-visual production.
The course is divided into 10 training modules during which successful case studies will be analysed.

This document describes the project to all the people involved in its realization.
The project will be realized in collaboration with a company working in the field.
