Study Objectives:

Cílem je především včasná volba titulu dlouhometrážní adaptace, která je postupovým úkolem do třetího ročníku. Na konci semestru musí student odevzdat projekt velké adaptace a představit jej fóru celé katedry. Semestrálním úkolem je krátká adaptace. Pedagog zadá povídku, kterou adaptují všichni studenti podle svých schopností a vzájemně si ji pod vedením pedagoga dramaturgují.

Course contents:

The aim of the course is primarily the timely selection of a work for a feature-length adaptation which is the preliminary task of the 3rd year Bachelor's study and must be presented at the end of the semester in a forum before the entire department. The semester assignment is a short adaptation. The instructor assigns a story which all students adapt according to their abilities and under the guidance of the instructor, create the dramaturgy. The course is a moderated discussion about classic adaptations (ex: J. Němec, F. Vláčil), and, primarily, about models and successful and unsuccessful adaptation project which emerged at the Department of Screenwriting and Script-editing in the past and cultivation of short adapation dramaturgy.
