Guidelines for the text of the audiovisual essay

The text must accompany the audiovisual essay and its purpose is to deepen, in a scientific manner, aspects of the piece, such as the theoretical background of the essay or the justification of the analysis. In no case should it be a transcription of the voice-over used in the video essay, and it should avoid reiterating the information seen in the audiovisual essay.

The text should include:

1.Title of the piece (bold).

2.Author and full affiliation

3.Abstract (100-150 words)

4.Keywords (between three and five, arranged in alphabetical order)

5.Text (500-800 words)

6.Bibliography (and filmography)

This text must establish a dialogue with other previous theoretical proposals, so it is necessary to reference the works it is based on. These references should appear as in-text citations and in a bibliography at the end of the text (which does not fall within the 500-800 word limit). It is also pertinent to add a filmography with the titles referred to in the text or used in the audiovisual essay. Thus, works that have not been cited in the body of the text should not appear in the list of references.

It is also advisable to add a filmography with the titles referred to in the text. Both bibliographical and filmographic references must follow the APA rules (7th edition).

Authors who publish an audiovisual essay will have to wait 1 year to publish again.
