In the first phase: A study of the screenplay, consultations with the Sound Dept. instructor, preparations for shooting snd the shooting itself in a defined environment (studio, exterior or on location).

In the explication, the student should demonstrate that along with talent for creative activities, an ability for a rational view of professional issues.

- to demonstrate an analysis of the assignement that the student understands the purpos and particular importance of the task.

- to consider potential variations and substantiate the sound dramaturgy and implemented treatment selected

- to describe the applied technology, technical equipment used and manner of work including precise data about technical adjustments, etc.

- to comment on the environment that influenced the implementation, (influence of the surroundings, crew collaboration...),

- evaluate the results of the work and derive general conclusions, and analyse reasons for deficiencies and suggest better alternative treatments.

- to demonstrate the ability of good stylized writing of a professional text - in standard language without slang and grammar errors.
