The Specifics of Depicting Christianity in the Cinematography of Andrei Tarkovsky
Ruzyak, Pavel ; Vogel, Jiří (advisor) ; Kolář, Pavel (referee)
in English The thesis examines historical and aesthetic development of cinematography from the point of view of spirituality. It takes into account church's dogmatic and iconographic perspective of the relationship between art and Christianity. Emphasis is placed on reviewing the meaning and goals of cinema from an Orthodox perspective. As a result of such research, cinema appears as a form capable of transmitting the spirituality of the Church, even though it is accomplished through specific stylistic and narrative means that are characteristic for spiritual cinema. Especially nowadays, the language of film needs a lot of internal (thematic and stylistic) and external work (church's and production) in order for valuable films to emerge from the environment of the church to continue the original tradition of spiritual cinema.
Key sequence in the films of directors who work with long sequence shots and with stylization
Ruzyak, Pavel ; BERNARD, Jan (advisor) ; KLEPIKOV, Milan (referee)
This thesis wants to explore long shots alongside with stylization in cinema. Through three directors are explored possibility and problematic of cinematographic expression through long shots and stylization. Stylisation is connected mainly with mis-en-scène and particular aspects of it – acting, film decoration/props, film space, film sound,... The terms stylisation and long shot (plan-séquence) are analysed and explored on its own and in the films of the chosen directors. The main analysed directors are Andrei Tarkovsky, Carl Th. Dreyer and Béla Tarr and their three films (in the same order) - Sacrifice, Gertrud and Satantango. The chosen directors are from my point of view the best example of the use of stylisation and long shots due to their artistic clarity and coherence. I try to base this work mostly on my own analysis and thoughts about long shots and stylisation based on the literature, films and my own film works, although I also use quotations from directors/authors and quotations from theoretical works. The thesis in its form is closest to the analytic and essay study.
