The script writing´s methods about new religious movement charismatic leader
Miška, Jaroslav ; DUFEK, Jiří (advisor) ; VAJCHR, Marek (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with the principles of finding a story from the environment of a new religious movement. He carefully analyzes the character of charismatic leader and the characters of his successors. The final result of this thesis, if possible, is going to raise awareness of new religious movements as part of the film's story. In addition, the work deals with the theme of apostate, the nature of the ritual, or the fight against an external enemy. Furthermore, he interprets the way of working with the community space and, last but not least, the process of denomination or, on the contrary, the demonization of the religious movement in the film work.

Workers of Ken Loach
Pata, Václav ; MRAVCOVÁ, Marie (advisor) ; VAJCHR, Marek (referee)
Ken Loach have been creating films of social realism for more than fifty yers. He walked a long way to I, Daniel Blake (2016) since Cathy Come Home (1966).
I'm focused on a topic of labourers/workers in Loach's films in my thesis.
Labourer/Worker is defined as an adult person, which makes his living with his own hand or he/she were if the system would allow it. The chosen theme and selection of films, which I'm focused on, caused that I'm giving the same space both political and social sides of the class inequality. Films, I tried to analyse from the given point of view are Riff-Raff (1991), The Navigators (2001) and I, Daniel Blake (2016). Also, I briefly take a look at Days of Hope (1975) and the award-winning film Kes (1969).

Tennessee Williams: Night of the Iguana
Semler, David ; MRAVCOVÁ, Marie (advisor) ; VAJCHR, Marek (referee)
The Bachelor's Thesis compares the short story and the play, both entitled Night of the Iguana and both written by Tennessee Williams. The Thesis also deals with the adaptation of the play to the form of a film production directed by American director John Huston. Although both the characters and the events of the short story differ from the play, both literal works share the themes and motives they deal with: loneliness, anxiety, non-freedom, contrast between chastity and obscenity, loss of faith in God, the desire for unity with another person and the belief in the power of spiritual contact between two people. The film Night of the Iguana is a successful adaptation, in which most of the changes to the original play are only formal. The film is more epic, the unity of time, place and space is broken, dialogues are truncated, while the characters are more profound. There is less of the symbolic and the philosophical questions in the movie, as well as there is not so much of Williams’s absurd sense of humour and the overall approach of the director is more realistic. However, the main theme, the story and the characters stay true to the original Williams’s play.

The Coming Out Process of Queer Male Teenagers in Contemporary European Cinema
Hosenseidl, Radek ; BENDOVÁ, Helena (advisor) ; VAJCHR, Marek (referee)
This thesis discusses the similarities in coming-out depictions in
contemporary European cinema focusing on teenage and coming-of-age queer
male characters. While based on understanding the coming out as a sociological
phenomenon with strereotypical development, it allows for deviations both in
reality and in film. The thesis further aims to identify common elements in films
with coming-out narratives: repetitive narrative techniques, themes, characters
and motives. Using the analyses of three films, the thesis also examines the
importance of coming-out stories in broader film narrative.

Pathos as a Natural Aspect of Film Narration
Soukupová, Irena ; VAJCHR, Marek (advisor) ; MRAVCOVÁ, Marie (referee)
In my work I deal with a phenomenon that has been discussed widely but still remains elusive pathos.
Pathos bears significances for current society that are not always positive. That is why I am going to try to define it, as well as categorize it. I am going to describe the usage and exploitation of pathos in cinema. I am also going to think of pathos criteria or what it determines - is it still pathos or so called sentiment? Unlike sentiment, pathos has its historical background.
Based on particular films and scenes analysis, I will clearly demonstrate how to work with pathos. I will also show how to create pathos itself altogether with pathetically tuned scenes by means of particular devices of film language.

Cinematic Storytelling in Comics
Saska, Jan ; MAŠEK, Vojtěch (advisor) ; VAJCHR, Marek (referee)
The aim of this work is to point out the similarity of film and comics and thus also the possibility to read some film studies (or analyse films) with an overlap into the medium of comics. The selected method consists of analysing cinematic storytelling techniques and means of expression and their further use in the comics medium. To reach that aim this work uses an image appendix which in main part consists of the first chapter of the Watchmen by Alan Moore.

Auteur Execution of Film Dialogue
Kocábek, Daniel ; KAJÁNKOVÁ, Lucia (advisor) ; VAJCHR, Marek (referee)
This thesis is about auteur execution of film dialogue in screenplays and also in film. By analysing four different feature films, Reservoir Dogs, Chasing Amy, Before Sunset, and Rushmore this work shows how their authors shoot conversational scenes in an innovative manner. The American Independent cinema is briefly introduced as well as the auteur theory. The choice of filmmakers and specific films is explained. The thesis subsequently demonstrates how film dialogue is being viewed by film handbooks and how a conventional dialogue scene looks like. The four analyses are based on all of this information.
