The graduation paper is devoted to the creation of a video project about Viennese waltz. The film, created as part of the thesis, aims to provide a comprehensive explanation of the Viennese waltz through temporal, spatial, and socio-cultural contexts. The research focused on historical knowledge of the development of the infotainment style, as well as contemporary scriptwriting and directing techniques of infotainment. During the project, scriptwriting, directing, and thematic references were examined. Special attention was given to the legal aspects of film production: the legal status of the project, information and legal risks, and methods for their minimization. The project was commissioned by the World Dance Council and represents a pilot episode of an infotainment-style video project.
