Contents
The content of the semestral course is to introduce students to film trickery and post-production editing of film images. The student, in collaboration with the teacher, chooses a particular decoration from his/her term project for which a film trick is to be used. Based on the consultation with the teacher, the student develops a proposal for a technical solution for this decoration using a film trick. It is therefore an introduction of the student to the film trick and the work of the film crew. During the seminars, different types of film tricks are discussed with examples, both classic ones, which are created during the filming process, and digital ones, which are created in the post-production phase of the film.
Learning outcomes
The result of the work during the semester is a mastery of the conceptual design of a film set using a film trick, supplemented in some cases by a storyboard of the selected scene.
