Course content
The course unit Camera 7 has as its main priority to analyze light, the concept of light, the light scene, the changes of light, and its use in film practice. Students analyze light in the open air and try to understand its daily variability. This observation is closely connected with the analysis of the usability of this observation in pictorial dramaturgy. Students solve case studies and in connection with the subject AVP 7 they practically implement them. Students also deepen their knowledge of film analysis with regard to visual dramaturgy. They solve the relationship between the idea / concept and its practical feasibility. They get acquainted with the screenplay of a feature film and, in a close connection, prepare a dramaturgical visual concept, create lighting plans, deal with visual technology, and financial impacts.
