Course contents

The workshop should accentuate the open form of thinking about film and through the film, namely video and audio, monitor their relationships (not only) with an emphasis on editing and the open-form sequence-shot film.

The workshop is defined space-time in which students receive pedagogical leadership not only in school exercises and work on their studies, but also in the wider framework of their future profession. Based on theoretical and practical reflections on specific topics builds a method of specific „film“ thinking.

We prefer working individually with each student since we believe every student to be a special individual and everyone will be working with a material marked by a different personality of its maker (the director). Therefore, each material presents different problems in its form. Of course, the works presented in the seminars allow for generalizations, f. e. the differences in editing of a documentary or a feature film, the rhythm or pacing, orchestral composition of the audio component, work with music, dramaturgical composion etc. The knowledge of this is valuable to all students regardless of their year of study. To demonstrate, we can use selected video sequences on tapes.

Topics:

•Editing as a means of expression

•Screenplay (script) – analysis, montage – synthesis

•Functions of a camera shot

•Size of a camera shot and its value

•Variability of a shot’s length

•Camera position and floor plan

•Influence of optics on the content of a camera shot

•Line of action – posibilities of its change and orientation rules

•Script of a simple situation with a point, a horizontal projection with a camera position

•Editing composition with regard to the genre: news report, clip, documentary, feature film (differences)
