„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
