______________________________________

„The book project“ /Prague´s city centres/ a documentary book.

Prague now is changing rapidly.Apart from Wenceslaus square we find equally important spots elsewhere. Prague has become a more cosmopolitan and dynamic city. We see many juxtapossitions around us. Especially the eyes of a newcomer from abroad /often our student at FAMU!/ can discover this and thus successfully record much of that on the film. Your task is to choose one of the contemporary Prague´s locations and produce a documentary book on it.

The creative process is following:

1/make your choice after consultation with your teacher

2/ write down an outline of a project

3/ start photographing and continually deliver contact sheets,proof prints for editing

4/ select 25-30 prints

5/ make a book dummy first

6/ deadline - June 2008

„Student directed portfolio (exhibition series)“/main task of 2nd year- individual supervision/

A set of 8-12 well printed or even mounted photographs in paspartoos which represent the skill of our student that he or she learned during the two years at FAMU. These photographs are meant as the final exhibition series for the commission at the end of the school year. Such work is for some time consulted with and supervised by deliberately chosen teacher.

The creative process is following:

1/ consultations with chosen teacher

2/ evaluationof contact sheets and proof prints

3/ selection and printing of 8-12 photographs of 30x40cm or 50x60cm size

4/ deadline - June 2008
