Obsah kurzu:

The spring term will focus 1/ on sound, often neglected aspect of film style, and 2/ on narration. During the sessions students will watch films in their entirety and short extracts illustrating particular topics. Discussion is important part of each lesson. Mutual exchange of ideas and artistic experiences enables the students to gain as much inspiration as possible. Students should ask anything that is not clear enough, bring their own ideas and participate actively in the whole course. (The course partially covers the topics for CDM final exam.)

Hodnoticí metody a kritéria:

Mid-term essay: 1 000 words

Due date: 28 March 2014

Students themselves will choose the topic for the paper. Papers have to be typed. Due date is not flexible. If a student must request an extension, she/he has to do it before the paper is due. All sources (films, books, articles, interviews, websites etc) have to be cited: any time student quotes or paraphrases someone else?s work she/he has to give her/him credit, otherwise it is understood as plagiarism, that is unaceptable and will cause student?s failing from the assignmnet and may lead to failing from the overall course as well.

Final essay:

Students will write in class essay about the short film(s) that will be shown on the spot. That is, the film will be shown and students will write a paper in the class, immediately after the screening. The focus should be on sound and/or narration.

Grading will be based on three aspects:
