Course contents

A practical introduction to dramaturgy of a feature 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.

1] Through the analysis of feature films, the following principles are examined and explained: three act story structure, plot points, the function of exposition, the catalyst, rising action, crisis, climax, culmination, resolution; idea, theme, as well as ability to create smaller parts of a movie - sequences and internal scene structure.

2] Most importantly, students will learn to analyze films according the sequence method, and to employ it in their own creative work and filmmaking.
