The relationship between a computer game and its audiovisual pattern
Šírová, Tereza ; Šlerka, Josef (advisor) ; Šisler, Vít (referee)
Diploma thesis The Relationship between the Computer Game and its Audiovisual Pattern deals with the similarities and differences between the computer games and audiovisual works. The thesis presents some theories reflecting different points of view to the influence and blending of these media forms. Those theories are the base for a suggestion of typology of games and movies adaptations that were made according to a pattern. In each of three suggested categories, there are mentioned some particular examples of computer games that were inspired by movie or series and also examples of movies that were inspired by computer game. The final chapter is a case study which compares the computer game Lost: Via Domus to its audiovisual pattern - series Lost.

Kulturní průmysly v ČR: Audiovizuální a mediální sektor 2014
Český statistický úřad
Analytický text s názvem Kulturní průmysly v ČR volně navazuje na publikaci Kulturní zařízení v ČR, kterou Český statistický úřad vydával v minulých letech a která se zaměřovala na tradiční kulturní oblasti formou prezentace převzatých dat. Nová publikace nese podtitul Audiovizuální a mediální sektor, jenž více konkretizuje oblast analýzy. Český statistický úřad sbírá každoročně data od poskytovatelů rozhlasového a televizního vysílání v rámci výkazů Kult. Právě myšlenka využití těchto dat a jejich propojení s výstupy z relevantních šetření ČSÚ vedla ke vzniku této publikace. Ta vedle rozhlasového a televizního vysílání sleduje také oblast filmu, hudby, videoher, knih a tisku, tedy oblasti spadající do tzv. kulturního průmyslu, definovaného dle zavedeného trojsektorového vymezení oblasti kultury.

"The Bestseller Effect": Stávají se z úspěšných knih kasovní trháky kin?
Smyčková, Renée ; Stroukal, Dominik (advisor) ; Špecián, Petr (referee)
The thesis investigates a connection between the publishing industry and the film industry. It analyses whether films based on best-selling books have higher revenues and return on investment compared to films based on unsuccessful books or original scripts. Data for years 2009 -- 2015, focusing on the U.S. entertainment industry, show that film adaptations of best-selling books reach higher revenues during their opening weekend of the theatrical release. The Bestseller Effect weakens once the information about film's quality becomes available to the audience. The success of a book plays negligible role in film's returns on investment. The results of analysis also show great positive significant impact of the production budget, the star cast, films quality and sequels on the films'financial performance.

And the winner is... The presence of political slant in the movie production
Selep, Ján ; Stroukal, Dominik (advisor) ; Dušek, Libor (referee)
I study movie studio profit maximization based on an optimization of a political language in the dialogues. I explore the flexibility with which a rational firm slants language of its movies in order to get closer either to a Democratic or a Republican customer. Using computational linguistics I construct vectors of phrase frequency distribution based on a text of almost a decade of U.S. Congress transcripts and 457 randomly chosen movie subtitles. In order to measure distance between the phrase vectors I use chi square statistics and its Monte Carlo approximation. I find no evidence of political slant in movies neither in a movie studio comparison nor for a time-varying comparison of movies in different years. In addition I construct a slant index covering level of political language in a movie. Using the index I find no evidence of impact of political language on movie revenues.
