The presentation of projects using moving pictures gains more and more importance, at the university but also in working life. The lecture provides an introduction into the production of films for a vivid and individual presentation of architecture. Target of the course is to teach programs and techniques which are needed to produce film features. Different working steps of the production of a filmic documentation are exemplified and worked on concrete movies. It spans from the general preparation, the introduction into the recording of pictures and sound, to the editing of the material, the design of 3d-animations, cutting, editing of the text, to finally the design and the compilation of a ready to publish multilingual DVD. Depending on the interests of the group the result of the lecture may be short films, features or even a longer documentary film.
An important part of scientific work is the publishing of its results. Multimedia techniques provide useful tools to present themes understandable. Within a movie it is possible to show much information in a short period of time. Very important is to develop a coherent form of expression to provide the researched topics to the general public, which is not familiar with this kind of information. It is very important to look intensive into the subject and to be aware of the possibilities to use moving pictures and animations to express and transport information. Efficiently used the instruments of language and images can provide a view into scientific work, which is not possible in just printed form.
The main topic of the course for the summer term 2015 are the castles of Burgenland (the most eastern country of Austria).
Aim of the work is to analyse the architecture of the buildings, their embedding and interrelation with the landscape, theri impact on neighbouring villages (if applicaple) and / or a critical analysis of architectural interventions constructed to attract and serve visitors.
