Abstract

To pay special attention to the audiovisual language used in productions aimed at the dissemination of scientific knowledge plays an important role in the processes of knowledge transfer and it is crucial to arouse interest in science. Nowadays, our visual culture is strongly influenced by the audiovisual material created through the entertainment industry, including the powerful video game industry and cinema, both actors in a process of mutual influences full of reciprocal affections.

This work addresses the production of audiovisual material aimed at the dissemination of scientific content, making use of advanced graphic technologies such as 3D modelling and animation. The use of this technology is at the service of a visual grammar inherited from the film industry. The conjunction of both elements is exemplified by an analysis of an audiovisual production for scientific dissemination entitled "The cell. Unit of Life".
