Anotace

The subject occupies a significant place among the compulsory subjects, as it is the basic entry into the world of sustainable communication through/with the help of audiovisuals. It focuses on interpretation as a principle of viewing the world, emphasizing the link between the creator-audiovisual media-receiver, where both the creator and the receiver are "interpreters".
This course is followed by a section of compulsory-optional subjects with the topic of audiovisual.
Lectures provide approaches in relationship between "objective" reality and "author´s subjectivity". Thesis are demonstrated by excerpts of classic and contemporary documentary films. A lecturer apply also his filmmaker´s point of view at a process of creativity.
