How to write a story?
Mašinová, Milada ; VAJCHR, Marek (advisor) ; DUFEK, Jiří (referee)
In my thesis I focus on screenwriting literature. I decided to scrutinize two very different titles: Robert McKee's Story: Substance, Structure, Style and the Principles of Screenwriting and Blake Snyder's Save the cat! The Last Book on Screenwriting You'll Ever Need.
Literature approaching this subject is not very common in Czech environment which is the reason I concentrate on two foreign publications. I am not only introducing the books themselves, I also present their authors, I examine the chapters on characters and on structure, I apply McKees's and Snyder's principles on two selected feature films. Lastly I summarise pros and cons of both of the books and the value they could bring to potential readers.

Giallo and the moment of existence
Pokorná, Dagmar ; POZZI, Jaroslav (advisor) ; VAJCHR, Marek (referee)
During the second half of the twentieth century the Italian filmmakers have synthesized a new type of film genre: giallo. It incorporates components from horror films, thrillers and detective stories with a touch of mystery. This thesis confronts the selected examples of gialli films with some fundamental ideas of existentialism in hopes of proving that even in the conventional structure of film genre an original and distinctive philosophy can be found.

Constructing Artificial Chaos
Hakl, Vilém ; VAJCHR, Marek (advisor) ; ŠERÝ, Ladislav (referee)
This work is about works of art which imitate chaos in terms of their structure. The focus of this work is POETICS OF CHAOS, in other words: specific techniques used to construct artificial chaos. The poetics of chaos is also explored through narration, the grotesque anti-myth about Eris, the Goddess of Chaos, and Paris, the prince of Troy, and his horrifying masturbation phantasy. The main field of this work is literature and film, but music and painting are also explored. The analysis of SPAS (a novel by Ivan Matousek) and ASTHENIC SYNDROME (a film by Kira Muratova) are included, because the structure of these masterpieces is brilliantly chaotic.

True Legends of Bathory and Jánošík
Lévyová, Lívia ; VAJCHR, Marek (advisor) ; MRAVCOVÁ, Marie (referee)
The thesis focuses on two contemporary films that were created around the same period of time and both involve legendary topics. They both aspire to become central European epics. It situates them within the context of global cinema but simultaneously tries to analyze each as a unique work of art. They share many similarities as well as differences.

The Castle
Škampová, Alexandra ; Mravcová, Marie (advisor) ; Vajchr, Marek (referee)
The aim of this theoretical work is to evaluate the possibilities and ways of a new adaptation on the base of comparing critical resources and analysis of former films.
I tried to collect maximum of resources without the necessity of interpretation of Kafka´s work. I aimed to compare complementary and contradictory resources at the same time.
