Audiovisual Production belongs to the Production and Editing subject, within the Audiovisual Projects module. The subjects of this module provide specific knowledge on audiovisual production, design, directing, post-production and editing, content, therefore, essential for the communication professional. Students will acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to execute an audiovisual project and ultimately turn it into a market product. It is therefore a strategic subject in the study plan as it provides the student with training in audiovisual production techniques from the project's origin to its completion. Audiovisual Production seeks to delve into the notions learned in Audiovisual Narrative, through practical exercises focused on solving small stagings.

8. Evaluation criteria and Grading System

Evaluation System	Continuous assessment	Non-continuous evaluation *	Description
Fieldwork assessment	66.00%	60.00%	Alternative exercises will be created to perform individually for the extraordinary call
Final test	20.00%	40.00%	Mixed test.
Practicum and practical activities reports assessment	14.00%	0.00%	The attitude and ability to resolve during the practice in class. (or as homework)
Total:	100.00%	100.00%

According to art. 4 of the UCLM Student Evaluation Regulations, it must be provided to students who cannot regularly attend face-to-face training activities the passing of the subject, having the right (art. 12.2) to be globally graded, in 2 annual calls per subject , an ordinary and an extraordinary one (evaluating 100% of the competences).

Evaluation criteria for the final exam:

Continuous assessment:

The final grade will result from the weighted average of the different grades obtained in each of the assessable activities.

Any student may change to the non-continuous assessment mode as long as she has not participated during the class teaching period in assessable activities that together account for at least 50% of the total assessment of the subject.
If a student has reached that 50% of assessable activities or if, in any case, the class period has ended, she will be considered in continuous evaluation without the possibility of changing the evaluation modality.

To pass the subject through the Continuous Assessment model, it is necessary to pass each of its parts separately with a minimum of 4, and as long as the average between the practical part and the theoretical part is equal to or greater than 5.

This planning may be adapted and undergo slight modifications in the event that any extraordinary measure related to the health pandemic of COVID-19 is undertaken. However, even in an unforeseen scenario, an attempt will be made to maintain the evaluation percentages with the maximum fidelity to what is indicated in this guide.
Non-continuous evaluation:

It will conform to the same tests and evaluation criteria as continuous evaluation. Adapting the type of exercises so that they can be developed individually. It is important to contact the teacher in advance of the final test, the deliveries of the audiovisual exercises should be done in parallel to those proposed in continuous evaluation. A final joint delivery can be negotiated ... but requires communication with the teacher to inform them about these exercises in advance.

This planning may be adapted and undergo slight modifications in the event that any extraordinary measure related to the health pandemic of COVID-19 is undertaken. However, even in an unforeseen scenario, an attempt will be made to maintain the evaluation percentages with the maximum fidelity to what is indicated in this guide.

Specifications for the resit/retake exam:

All compulsory training activities will be recoverable.
For this, in the extraordinary call the same tests will be carried out as in the ordinary call with the same evaluation criteria. That is to say: elaboration of a series of audiovisual exercises, which test skill and knowledge of the medium together with the necessary documents for its previous execution and communication with teams. And a final test, according to the percentages provided for in the ordinary.

In case of suspension, and if any of the parties have been approved, the note of the approved party will be kept for the Extraordinary Call.

Specifications for the second resit / retake exam:

The same as in the ordinary call, taking into account that it will be an individual work.
