Obsah

The course will focus on the film style and form (FALL 2022: mise-en-scène, cinematography, editing; SPRING 2023: sound, narration) partly based on the readings of the book Film Art: An Introduction by David Bordwell and Kristin Thompson. We will discuss the means of film style and form and how they present themselves in a dozen of films from various epochs and countries. Disclosure of possible meanings and interpretation of them is the aim of the course.

During the sessions will be screened short extracts illustrating particular topics. Also, the students will watch the films in their entirety on their own. The discussions in which we can exchange the ideas and experiences are the important part of each lesson. Students should ask anything that is not clear enough, bring their own ideas and participate actively in the whole course.

NB “Film Form and Style” will be open also in Spring 2023, however, the focus of Spring term will be on sound and narration, therefore, the students may take the class both terms.
