Learning outcomes
The aim of the course is to familiarize students with the possibilities of using audiovisual media for documenting and presenting research, with distribution options, and with trends in the development of new technologies. During the course, students will learn practical technical skills in working with image and sound technology. They will also put their skills into practice by completing individual camera exercises.
Students will be able to use the digital camera as well as the basic post-production processes - edition, sound mix, and the final media procession. They will familiarise themselves with the film language as well as with the basic communication during shooting.
