Deception of people who appear in documentary films
Abramjan, Andran ; RŮŽIČKOVÁ, Alice (advisor) ; KLUSÁK, Vít (referee)
The thesis aims on how deception of people, who appear in documentaries, helps to reveal knowledge and issues, and how epistemic and dramatic potential of deception is handled by filmmakers. The epistemic aspect is discussed on the case of Milgram Obedience experiment and the dramatic one on the case of television entertainment (Candid Camera, Derren Brown: The Experiments). Four feature-length documentaries (The Advertisement, Czech Dream, The Yes Men Fix the World, The Ambassador) are then analysed, regarding the relation of both of the aspects of deception, as well as the information value of the films, language of film and limits caused by individual approaches. The question of ethics is discussed in the end.

Workbook for film-maker before debut
Klusák, Vít ; Vachek, Karel (advisor) ; Kokolia, Vladimír (referee)
I subordinated the choise of tasks to the development of my own film-making method. The basic rule for the generation of my text was for mw being driven to go through new experiences and not only writing out what I know or copiling texts from other authors. From practical overlaps I appreciated e.g. the film inventions that I constructed for my work. The "2 in 1" device enables simultaneous projetion of both the person in front of the camera and documentarist behind it.
