Course detail
Software prototyping of audiovisual work 2
FaVU-1SPAD2Acad. year: 2023/2024
The course is designed as a series of consecutive lectures and practical exercises using the knowledge acquired in the course Software Prototyping of Audiovisual Works 1. During the individual lessons, students will learn about advanced possibilities of working with data, image, sound and generative principles of visual compositions in 3D space. The course will also focus on learning the principles of finalizing and compiling projects into self-running applications. In the last four classes there will be space for detailed consultations of individual projects. These projects should have the character of a long-term complex work of authorship, the final form of which can be used in the individual presentation of the students or in the presentation of the field of study.

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course
Attendance is compulsory (3 unexcused absences are tolerated). Making up missed classes is done by agreement with the teacher in the form of alternative assignments.
Aims
The course will foster students' ability to work independently to create individual sample patches, so that they can continuously create their own working partial patches.
Another goal is to motivate students to create their own concept and to develop it comprehensively into a presentable audiovisual work using the software tools mentioned above.
Completion of the course will give the students practical experience with the principles of graphic programming and working with data, image and sound in general, which can be applied in their own creative work. In the summer semester, the students will verify in the realization of their own projects all the processes that we test together in class.
