Course content
Examples presented during the seminars help students to understand problematics of atmosphere creation with help of camera expressive means. Students learn about the problematics of image processing in an electronic camera, they learn terms such as coding, container, compression, and decompression. Problematics of distribution and image processing in relation to distribution media will be explained, colour space and colour image processing will be analysed. Theoretical part of the lectures will cover basics of image post-production and film special effects, space will be analysed together with its potential for utilisation in dramaturgy. Students are professionally informed about possible ways of utilisation of film lighting equipment. They analyse its utilisation and in the connection with scene lighting, they can recognise its photometric measures and usable characteristics. Students analyse and get engaged with space architecture and ways of its lighting. They examine the light ratio and its influence on the light atmosphere, analyse a 5-point lighting, create various light atmospheres. In a close connection to practical exercises course participants aim at a basic interrelation of a literary source, visual concept and its practical realisation in relation to dramaturgy. A master handling of lighting a film scene is completed with an introduction to CLRS Berger - Bertelsbach system of lighting and its practical utilisation in lighting space.
