Course content
Education will clarify the process of dramaturgy approach to texts, starting from a director's work with actors to a coordination of director's components and sound components that help with a creation of a spatial illusion and depth and thus co-create drama and plasticity mode of the dubbed work. The course unit is based on a theoretical lecture on history of voice dubbing in Czechoslovakia and the Czech Republic (dubbing practiced, dubbing consumed). Next, the course contents cover: technology of processing of records, changing translations into dubbing sheets where an original English spoken excerpt is used for a demonstration, translation and its professional adjustment. Students do practical modifications and create their own dialogue sheets, they work with standardised marking for pausing, timecodes, MO, VO. Actual introduction to voice dubbing is done in a simulated studio. Director's work in dubbing, work with a microphone, image and voice continuity is demonstrated. Students try to practice real dubbing in pairs while using their prepared dubbing sheets. Based on the preparations, they finally carry out a 5-min drama dialogue. Personal dubbing ambitions are evaluated.
