Rampal Dzurenko, Viktória ; BERNARD, Jan (advisor) ; ŠPAČEK, Radim (referee)
Indian Parallel Cinema is the mixture of Contemporary, Experimental and Art Cinema of India and always consist of low budget. Indian Cinema had started with its first silent film "Raja Harishchandra" in 1912. Indian cinema is often defined as Bollywood or Masala Films of India, since it is also the popular form with its ritual of song, dances and over-the-top melodrama. However, the 60s and early 70s were time of experimentation in the format of storytelling and form in Indian Cinema. Indian Parallel Cinema is a specific genre of Indian cinema which is known for its serious content, realism and naturalism, which reflected social and politics topics during those times.

Narration and characterization of figure in the movie's of David Lynch with sound
Dolejší, Dominik ; DOLENSKÝ, Martin (advisor) ; HART, Marek (referee)
The basis of this work is to look at the development of sound dramaturgy across the work of David Lynch. I work mainly on the principle of the screening of scenes and their operations from the broader perspective of the film. In the film, I analyze two films "Mulholland Dr." and "The Elephant Man", which became milestones for my work in the creation of David Lynch. It follows that the nature of my work: the author is not telling just limited to painting, as it is still going on, which is a testament not only to Czech films, but also in the world. Development work demonstrates the analysis of all components of sound films.

Audio-visual interpretation of a musical work
Kršáková, Leticia ; SKALL, Vladimír (advisor) ; KOPECKÝ, Pavel (referee)
Abstract
This thesis deals with an audio-visual interpretation of a musical work. It is an extensive issue because audio-visualisation of music accumulates in itself a range of art disciplines and it works with their resources. The general idea of a development line is captured in the general part of the thesis which is dedicated to music and dance and film as its transformations. The second part of the thesis presents the basic forms of such adaptations and some film music genres with theirs specific features and there are also described some typical and unusual authors' procedures and the functionality of their approach is evaluated from a viewer's-listener's side. The theoretical support for the conclusions presented in the thesis are drawn from available resources and domestic and foreign scientific literature. The conclusions of a general assessment of possibilities and difficulties of audio-visual interpretation are based primarily on the analysis and comparison of musical and visual components in the selected audio-visual works.

Trans narrative
Machajová, Dana ; BENDOVÁ, Helena (advisor) ; POSPISZYL, Tomáš (referee)
In my thesis I compare various trans* representations in fiction films, documentary films, TV series and video journals on the internet. I assume, that projections of trans* people differ in stories they tell, depending on media in which they are constructed. Most of the visible trans* stories in media are "being reborn to the right body testimonies (in opposition to the wrong body given at birth)". This is connected to the legislative rules one must follow if he/she wants to have his/her gender reassigned. Trans* activists in global context take steps closer to legislative changes that lead to bigger tolerance and freedom of gender expression. In analysis of characters of seven fiction films, three TV series, four documentaries, one reality show and work of three trans* video bloggers, I demonstrate, that the representation of trans* identities in mainstream media space is reductive and works within strict rules. These rules relate to pathological default setting of the trans* status. On the other hand, the more authentic the material is, the wider variety of stories we see..

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.

Erotics in Jane Campions films
Nedvědová, Kristina ; DUFEK, Jiří (advisor) ; MRAVCOVÁ, Marie (referee)
In b.a. work, I would like to analyze look healthy feminist view of the author's creation of director Jane Campion, who openly admits female desire, but it is still about erotica, not porn. I want to describe the author's style, which in my opinion, poetry beautifully balances the female perception of the world, as well as his "darker" exciting, often neglected page. The analysis will be based on the literature of authors such as Laura Mulvey, Visual and other pleasures, visual pleasure and narrative film)
Roland Barthes - Pleasure of the Text
Witold Gombrowicz - Our erotic drama
Peter Hanáková - Pandora's Box
