Course contents:

The aim of the group work is to understand the fundamental principles of film thought, group screenwriting, dramaturgy and directing, their implementation and apply a creatively, together in an organized play.

Considering the amount of time we have at our disposition,we start will be a comprhensive fragment of a story focused on a situation or a character. We do not need to create a film but this possibility is not excluded. Neither do we exclude, that if desired or needed by the students, the material may be developed into a film in Prague. What we expect at Ponešice, is an idea of the final form, supported by an assembly of shots presenting a fragment or fragments of the imagined form, supplemented by a storyboard or photo-script. Therefore, that „form“ develops and is refined during the work. We allow that the idea allows diverse variants.

Extent of the resulting film: 1-3 min. Determined by the artists if it covers a fragment of a fictional story. In any case this covers a completed form revealing a particular rhythm and style.

It is recommended that students, beforehand, consider and propose subject matter which will follow the technical possibilities (video) and potential of the given environment - interiors and exteriors.

Procedure:

1. Selection of proposed subject matter and establishing the crew (according to the number of participants - 5 students) who develop the subject matter.

2. Shooting, photography, proceeding according to the shooting schedule which, considering the evironment is not completely important but is the center of the process allowing work withing the given time layed-out to maintain the imagined proportions.

3. Evaluation of shot material and determining potential for editing (development and refinement of the script)

4. A short shot or correction, if needed or beneficial.

5. Shot assembly, combined with photographs or a storyboard.

6. Presentation of results.

Consultations with the instructor will take plade during all phases of work. The role of the instructor is not to directly interfere with the artists' work but to point out principles and potential which make things easier.

This module methodology requires complete participation by students in all work phases together but not according their study plan. Each participates in the dramaturgy, organization and implementation. This includes scriptwriters, directors, producers and actors with their ideas according to the environment and need.

Considering the conditions in which this exercise takes place, everyone is open to improvisation, which does not mean that we avoid work but that we allow interesting ideas and coincidence.
