Obsah kurzu:

A practical introduction to dramaturgy of a short film - the primary elements, structure, and rules of the structure of a film, including the structural-dramaturgical specifics of individual film genres, taking into account the model definition of a story, as practised in American cinematography, and the seeming dramaturgical „open-endedness“ of auteur and independent film.

Topics:

- reality and film (references, plausibility etc.) and principles of expression in film

- story and its necessary elements, film – pyramid, differences between a story and a way of storytelling

- storyteller, relationship storyteller–listener (viewer), ways of representation (depiction) of the storyteller

- narrative structures and their comparison, structure of tragedy according to Aristotle

- dramatic situation of drama

- prologue, epilogue, exposition, „hook“, difference between prologue and exposition

- three-act structure, difference between „plot point one“, „plot point two“ and dramatic situation of drama

- genre and its functions

- plot and character, ostension

- character, elements of character, „timeline“ and „recent past“ of character

Each theoretical section is supplemented with film samples in which students can see how their creators – now often successful filmmakers – dealt with specific „dramaturgic situations“ and which form they used to create functional parts of their films' structure. The diversity and balance of various types, focus, genres and time of creation of these films ensure that each student will find his or hers „cup of tea“ and their high quality in given parameters must allow for learning even in areas that are not favored by the given student.
