Surfing is a sport that has been booming in the last year or two. The vast majority of
people opt for it, because it is quite unique among sports, mainly because of the
lifestyle that accompanies it. There are many sports that we forget about them that
same moment as we stop practicing and think about them only when we decide to
exercise again. With some others, however, the sport does not end with a completed
training, it's a lot of times transferred to a certain lifestyle. Due to the great flourishing
of sports, with a strong subculture and trends on social networks, many individuals
choose to creatively combine such activities in the form of media. In the theoretical
part, a timeline of film production in surfing was first made and an attempt was made
to find out what, with the rapid development of technology, the future holds. All the
important steps of surf film production were analyzed, from the preparations for filming
to the post-production; all the processes that are essential for creating a visually
stunning products. The experimental part mostly focuses on the individual chapters
that were key to creating the surf film. The results and discussion section lists and
analyzes some screengrabs from the videos we shot for the upcoming film on
Portugese coast through the second half of 2019. Due to the clarity and nature of the
topic of the diploma thesis, it is largely supported by pictorial sources and screenshots
of the project in question.
