Learning outcomes of the course unit

The course aim is to clarify individual technological steps to the extent that the students will not merely be executors of requests but be able to demonstrate and ability to judge the proposed treatment using their knowledge and ideally provide a different treatment. Examples from personal practis and in the cited literature are used for the clarification of the technological steps.

Mode of study

This course is divided in to 6 lectures, each for 2 instruction hours.

The main topics are: The technological basics of production with an emphasis on the direct relationship of the shooting phase to post-production. The principle: the resulting product is completely defined by all previous steps. Therefore, an understanding of post-production reflects back on the shooting. Without an understanding of the fundamental principles, needs of each element, production cannot be understood and corrected in cases of excessive, egoistic or other overall damaging behaviour of individual crew elements.

Therefore, through the whole, the film lies in the healthy ambitions of the individuals. Overall, I compare American industry practice with European origination tendencies, because production in our environment must be prepared for both and often contrasting methods.

A general knowledge of both methods allow the use of the advantages which those methods offer for achieving various results. Diverse concepts come from the application of European tradition in the music trade, differing from Anglo-Saxon practice where the film is a part of the literary department. I attempt to cover this breadth at the expense of transparency. An awareness of other methods, in my opinion, is important. I, myself,came similarly disenchanted in meeting this practice which prefers the structure and its enthusiasm before personal experience. For production, I think, it is important that the methods which guide the talent and mystery of the enlightened idea become the nature and logic for development of characters and flow of the narrative. Contrary to feeling and sensation, the measurement of audience reaction during editing is controlled by screenings of a target group of viewers on location with a group of friends.

Course contents

This course is divided into six lectures. Each one two class-hours long.

The main topics are: The technological basis of prodution with an emphasis on the direct connection of the shooting phase with the post-production stage. Thesis: The resulting product is completely defined by all previous steps. Therefore an understanding of post production explains the previous shooting. Without and understanding of the basic principles and needs of individual elements the producer cannot comprehend and correct possible excessive, egoistic and other completely damaging mannerisms of individual elements of the crew. Therefore through the whole, the film is put in order by healthy single ambitions. Overall I compare of the American industry practice with the European original tendencies, because production in our environment must be prepare for both, and often contrary methods.

A framework knowledge of both methods allows the use of the advantages of those methods for achieving various results. Differing concepts start in the well seded European tradition of the muses, differing from the Anglo-Saxon practice, where the film is part of the Literature Dept. I attempt to achieve this breadth, consciously and at the risk of less transparency, With an awareness of other methods is, in my opinion, important. I was, myself, similarly disappointed in the meeting of this practice which prefers construction and its festering before personal experience. For production, it is, I think, important that the methods which along with talent and the mystery of enlightening a idea builds a nature and logic in the development of the figure and fall of the narrative. Against feeling and emotions, the measure of the reaction of the public during the editing of a preview screening of a group of viewers in place of a group of friends.

Lecture - production for postproduction
Lecture - Frequent fatal mistakes in shooting
Lecture - Film vs. video
Lecture - take and sequence technology of recording
Lecture - excursion to and off-line editing room - practical examples covered
Lecture - dates, budgets and parallel technological steps. The result as the main sense, the sense of the production.

Study aids: Students receiv a 3 page summary of technological steps of post-production with potential variants, the current verison is available for download in pdf format in Sept. 2005.
