Cinematic Storytelling in Comics
Saska, Jan ; MAŠEK, Vojtěch (advisor) ; VAJCHR, Marek (referee)
The aim of this work is to point out the similarity of film and comics and thus also the possibility to read some film studies (or analyse films) with an overlap into the medium of comics. The selected method consists of analysing cinematic storytelling techniques and means of expression and their further use in the comics medium. To reach that aim this work uses an image appendix which in main part consists of the first chapter of the Watchmen by Alan Moore.

Auteur Execution of Film Dialogue
Kocábek, Daniel ; KAJÁNKOVÁ, Lucia (advisor) ; VAJCHR, Marek (referee)
This thesis is about auteur execution of film dialogue in screenplays and also in film. By analysing four different feature films, Reservoir Dogs, Chasing Amy, Before Sunset, and Rushmore this work shows how their authors shoot conversational scenes in an innovative manner. The American Independent cinema is briefly introduced as well as the auteur theory. The choice of filmmakers and specific films is explained. The thesis subsequently demonstrates how film dialogue is being viewed by film handbooks and how a conventional dialogue scene looks like. The four analyses are based on all of this information.

What turnes Bluebeard into killer
Jarošová, Andrea ; DUFEK, Jiří (advisor) ; VAJCHR, Marek (referee)
Bluebeard is a killer, whose reason for the killing differs in every adaptation of his story. Along with Bluebeard's motivation for murder is changing not only the degree of his guilt, but also the importance of his existence. He is not even always taken as a real chcaracter, in some interpretations he is understood as a manifestation of destructive processes in the girl's mind. The work deals with the examination and comparison of these different approaches. I am exploring how to build a character in a adaptation, it the story of the character is missing in the original tale.

The possibilities of adaptation - Ladislav Fuks
Peroutka, Jan ; VAJCHR, Marek (advisor) ; MRAVCOVÁ, Marie (referee)
In our work we are dealing with analysis of the novel Pasáček z doliny and its film adaptation. We are trying to capture the way how this novel was transferred to the screen. We are finding out how much the filmmakers stuck to the novel and how much they used its opportunities. To this analysis we are using selected aspects of literary work and the method of comparation of film with original literary work. However we are trying to exceed the limits of film and literary science and also provide a preview from the perspective of a film creator, who examines the use or non-use of the potential of literary original. We are taking to the account also the context of the period, wherein Ladislav Fuks's novel was formed and František Vláčil's adaptation and also we are trying to understand these works in context of creation both authors.

Kolářová, Klára ; BENDOVÁ, Helena (advisor) ; VAJCHR, Marek (referee)
The topic of my bachelor thesis is: The female heroines in Jessica Hausner's feature films. Jessica Hausner (1972) is the Austrian film director and
screenwriter. She has made four feature films - Lovely Rita (2001), Hotel (2004), Lourdes (2009) and Amour fou (2014). I try to analyze whether there are active or passive heroines, whether they decide by themselves or let others to decide for them. I try to identify ways which create this activity (or passivity).

Phantomic character and its impact on a movie structure
Dufková, Kristina ; POZZI, Jaroslav (advisor) ; VAJCHR, Marek (referee)
The thesis is based on the theory of acousmetre and deacoumetrisation which were both defined by Michel Chion in his book Voice in Cinema. This theory closely connected with sound is generalised, the terms phantom and dephantomisation are introduced. The phantom is a character which the director decides to hide from the audience. Dephantomisation is a moment at which the face of a phantom is revealed. The thesis classifies types of stories with phantom based on the time of dephantomisation (the first, middle, or final act) and analyses the effect of the dephantomisation on the rest of the story.

Based on the analysis of the film "Los Muertos" this work tries to keep track of procedures the director is working with while building up the drama in his films. The analysis focuses on viewer's experience of drama and the individual elements of film language creating this experience.
