Film as an organism and as a machine
Šindelka, Marek ; DUFEK, Jiří (advisor) ; BERNARD, Jan (referee)
Abstract
The thesis focuses on comparsion of theoretical aproaches of Sergei Eisenstein, Dziga Vertov and Andrei Tarkovsky, as a three completely different positions on a scale between organic and mechanic film. Each of these positions has its own specific temporality, according to editing method used by the artist: Eisenstein's dialectic montage in the mode "human-nature", Vertov's dialectic montage in the mode "eye-material", and Tarkovsky's antidialectic montage of self-generating film structure based on time pressure within the shots.

The Flames of Royal Love
Bokšteflová, Lucie ; BERNARD, Jan (advisor) ; MRAVCOVÁ, Marie (referee)
The subject of this thesis is a project by film director Jan Němec (born 1936) whose intent was to create a film adaptation of the novel The Sufferings of Prince Sternenhoch written in the 1920s by writer and philosopher Ladislav Klíma (1878-1928). The thesis presents individual segments of this project - from the source material to the script and directorial concept created in the '60s, through individual phases of the film's development and production in the '90s to reactions after its release in 1991. Emphasis is placed on the thoughts and attitudes of Němec himself. The thesis' main sources were the archives of Barrandov Studio as well as interviews with Němec, both public and non-public. The goal of the thesis is to convey information about the project as a whole and thus provide a deeper insight into this particular piece of Němec's creative output.

A Director´s Subtle Control
Pimentel, Carla Carolina ; JANEČEK, Vít (advisor) ; DOMINKOVÁ, Petra (referee)
During my directing mentorship I have come to understand how to work in collaboration with most of the different facets of filmmaking that contribute to making successful films. With practical analysis of major films and filmmakers of our history and with the instillment of visual theory, it is clear that filmmaking is never as easy as it looks. My aim is to enlighten some techniques used by the old and new in different variations. My take is directed specifically on how to work with actors. Through exercises, situations, techniques and practical examples, I attempt, with this study, to help developing directors understand the individual variations of working with actors and non-actors. The path of a director is one of countless obstacles, but with intuition and a developed technique the director can be prepared for the unexpected.
