Robinson Crusoe - comparison of animated movie and live action movie
Nováková, Hana ; KUBÍČEK, Jiří (advisor) ; DUTKA, Edgar (referee)
The topic of this bachelor thesis is comparison between screenwriting for animated film and live action film and a search for differences in both types of writing. Specifically, this thesis compares two films based on the book The Life and Strange Surprising Adventures of Robinson Crusoe of York, Mariner, by Daniel Defoe. Using this book I am able to describe the possibilities of both literature and film, and to demonstrate which parts of the book are preferred for film adaptation and why. I also briefly mention the evolution of the story of Robinson Crusoe, and show how animation and live action films deal with these changes. In the final part of my thesis I compare the 1954 live action film Robinson Crusoe, directed byLuis Bunuel with the 1981 Czech puppet film The adventure of Robinson Crusoe of York, mariner, directed by Stanislav Látal. Comparing these two films enabled me to understand and describe specific rules and procedures in scriptwriting for an animated film.

Analyze of imiges from the movie Nocturnal Butterfly
Park, Soyoung ; KUBÍČEK, Jiří (advisor) ; DUTKA, Edgar (referee)
Abstract
"Nocturnal Butterfly" is short animation film which is directed by Raoul Servais. This animation is Servais's homage to Belgian surrealist Paul Delvaux. This paper concerns comparative analysis between the images of Nocturnal Butterfly about male and female, butterfly, mirror, railway station, automaton, last freeze-frame, and motifs of Delvaux's painting.
At first, my research at overall characteristic of surrealism would show that Delvaux's painting shares such characteristic. André Breton who is a key man in surrealism believed that automatism is driving force for artistic creation, so he thought we must look into the unconscious and world of dream to create new aesthetic reality and to comprehend reality just as it is without prejudice caused by reason and rationality. Especially he tried for liberation of the consciousness through automatic drawing, collage and depaysement in surrealistic painting. Delvaux with Magritte used depaysement to give psychological shock to appreciator, so he used mythology as motifs to draw inner landscape unfamiliarly and mysteriously. And though idealized images of women he expressed own desire.
After, I would review other works of Raoul Servais. He has expressed own view in various ways by using new approach for each work. Through criticism at human civilization and mythicism of desire he has utopian attitude even though he has criticized absurdity of actuality circumstance. Nocturnal Butterfly has atmosphere fascinating and mysterious but unfamiliar than clear messages. It seems that the atmosphere of the work considerably results from images taken from Delvaux's painting. And Nocturnal Butterfly shows ambiguous and unfamiliar feeling of surrealism using shooting mode of live action films and photographic images.
Next, I would review images in Nocturnal Butterfly. Delvaux expressed idealized images of male and female as his central figure motives, but Raoul Servais expressed images of male and female as earthly images in Nocturnal Butterfly. Woman with movement in Nocturnal Butterfly is waiting someone and reacting to eyes from man rather than she is idealized being. But She is also mysterious being. She is dancing with another self appeared from mirror as her double, in fantastic and fascinating time. But when train in reality arrives and a man appears, the time is over. The man wearing a hat in Nocturnal Butterfly is like Delvaux?s self-image mixed with scientist and gentleman. The man watches the object of desire, and possesses the object. Delvaux?s painting as last scene in Nocturnal Butterfly seems to be index of photograph image displayed from both surrealism and movie. So it informs that this animation is not over but continues to a piece of reality. The result of analysis of the images in Nocturnal Butterfly shows that Nocturnal Butterfly is the most fascinating and mysterious new animation with weakened completion of narration unlike other works of Raoul Servais.

Hoffová, Michaela ; KUBÍČEK, Jiří (advisor) ; DUTKA, Edgar (referee)
This undergraduate thesis deals with an in-depth analysis of the animated film Ghost in the Shell by Mamoru Oshii. It approaches this film from the most relevant perspectives of its production in relation to the medium in which it was created. This analysis breaks down the relationship of the film to the work, style and national culture of its creator, to the cyberpunk genre and to the theme and philosophy which this film deals with. This thesis enlightens the reader to understand the symbolical meanings of the films imagery and narative structure as well as its technical aspects, regarding both the animation technique, sound, music and voiceover as well as its visual aspects analysed in context with the style and distinctivness of japanese animation. The film, with its thought-out detailed structure is intertwined with symbols and hidden meanings, which do not have to be straightforwardly understandable by the viewer. The aim of this thesis is to explain these meanings not only in the relation to the themes with which it deals, but also in the context of the unique culture and traditions of the country in which it was produced. The final part of this thesis also refers to the legacy and influence of this film on other filmmakers all around the world within the boundaries of the cyberpunk and sci-fi genre.

Michaela Pavlatova
Delgado, Laura Victoria ; Kubíček, Jiří (advisor) ; Dutka, Edgar (referee)
The purpose of this text is to reassess the animation like an aesthetics human practice even out of the cinematographic field. An important resource are the Semir Zeki`s investigations about neuroaesthetics. Im going to review the origin and historic course of animation from the prehistory, bearing in mind the human evolutive process of perception (body-brain) and the human development from childhood that makes possible the existence of the animation.
For that, as example, Im going to put into context the animated Films of the czech filmmaker Michaela Pavlátová. Her live related to animation and the characteristics of her Films will appear as motive(motivation) to expand ideas like how the environment can influence the way to represent the space, or the relations between politic and czech animation, or how works the perception of color in the brain, or the importance of the faces in social relationships, and how that motives appears and becomes art across author hands.
