Description:
The aim of this subject is the ability to choose the material we have made and integrate it, cover the basics of editing knowledge, image processing technique, the ability to combine the image with music, etc. The student will be able to possess these skills when he describes his idea, plan its costs, he will realize and set how much more or less the project will last. The student will acquire these skills at the stage of the audiovisual material he has realized. The student will experience that the assembly of the material is sometimes the second 50% success of the film, and that the same material can be assembled in any way to make it a different film genre. The student will learn the secrets of technical work on the image and music, including its composition. The music plays a huge role in the editing of the film, the assembly technique is also important, the fast, efficient is a more commercial story, directed to the impatient recipient, ready for entertainment. However, a calm, elongated assembly is a kind of personal, mostly artistic, personal story. The student learns the types of implementation of shots, types of plans, close plan, American plan, approximation, semi-approximation, etc. He will meet the typical international nomenclature, which makes it easier to communicate with the team during the implementation of scenes and the assembly itself.
Prerequisites:
Student should know techniques of vision realization, he should know the basics of communication and know much about history of tv and cinematography.
