THE PROCESS OF CREATING THE DOCUMENTARY FILM KAMNICA

Film production is a combination of several different disciplines, such as creating project documentation, writing the screenplay, filming, directing and editing. The disciplines differ from one another and require expertise, but it is possible for a single person to perform multiple tasks simultaneously. In the thesis, he will attempt to determine whether the production was efficient, how much the film is worth and how he would ensure its distribution. His thinking about the project assignment is also described in detail; where he drew ideas from, how he overcame obstacles and what he learnt whilst working.

Problem

Film production is a combination of several different disciplines, such as creating project documentation, writing the screenplay, filming, directing and editing. The disciplines differ from one another and require expertise, but it is possible for a single person to perform multiple tasks simultaneously. This often happens when creating documentary films, where the author frequently also takes on the role of screenwriter or director.

The documentary film Kamnica is a 10-minute film about a place near Maribor. The film was created as a project assignment for the module Project Work – Video Production, which they had in the 2nd year of the Media Production programme. The authors of the project were fellow student Nejc Sorko and myself, and our mentor was mag.

Irena Bedrač. The diploma thesis is a presentation of this project assignment and an analysis of the process of creating the documentary film.

In the thesis, he will attempt to determine whether the production was efficient, how much the film is worth and how he would ensure its distribution. His thinking about the project assignment is also described in detail; where he drew ideas from, how he overcame obstacles and what he learnt whilst working.
