Learning outcomes of the course unit

Introduction of previously acquired student knowledge in the master's study to a wider scope of relationships with knowledge from other courses and introduce some other phenomena and inherent laws of wavelength optics (coherent) which have a close relationship to the creative process in cinematography and television images and significant influence on their quality.

Mode of study


Prerequisites and co-requisites

Completion of FAMU Camera dept. basic study (or comparable study at another higher institute.)

Course contents

Course description (Lectures)

The task of the course is to expand theory knowledge of Film and TV Camera in „Applied Optics.“ Students completed the basic study Optics 1, which provided fundamental knowledge, mainly in geometric optics and related disciplines. In Optics II students have the opportunity to use earlier acquired in a wider context with knowledge from studies. In particular, students are introduced to concepts, phenomena and the inherent rules of wave (coherent) optices and quantum optics and their close relationships in the cinematic and television image creation process which have a fundamental influence on quality. This course is taught through normal methods: lectures - discussions - consultations - exams. Addtionally, consultations allow interested students to focus on some special area and are an introduction to their separate study, or master's thesis preparations.

(Special assignments are not given to the stduents, nor are there any tests or final papers.)

Presumed knowledge: Optics I and other theory courses of basic study.
