The training allows the appropriation of these new languages, technologies and practices, in a perspective of professional construction: discover, experiment and appropriate tools, strategies, creative techniques, based on solid conceptual foundations. The goal is to equip oneself to be able to build the future of the audiovisual field in a concrete, open, innovative and economically viable way.
