We are heading towards utopia, brother!
Bušta, Jan ; Fila, Kamil (advisor) ; Marek, Petr (referee)
The film director is from the core of his work and his inner foundation permanently confronted with ?worlds, that don?t exist?, ?utopias?, that he must authentically (?lifely?) construct for his audience.
That?s the central proposition on which these three essays are based on. The papers try to confront the implied ?brother-director? ? who is perceived as an all-encompassing author, both of the audio-visual and the intellectual concept of the cinematic work - with the necessity to cope with the theme of the ?utopian community?, utopia as such.
Technocratic dreamer, brother director, is in the five films dealt with - Lost Horizon (Frank Capra), Muž z prvního století (Man in Outer Space; Oldřich Lipský), Avatar (James Cameron), The Village (M. Night Shyamalan) a The Mosquito Coast (Peter Weir) placed into a situation where he must ?represent the unrepresentable?. He must with all the potentials of the cinematic expression at his disposal materialize ?realized utopian world?.
The wide dispersion of the essayistic style then allows to the author of the paper ? who considers himself to be a film director as well ? to float freely in his topic and jump from ?the light? through ? the time? to the construction of ?the space? or ?the character?. This all with the possible generalization of the author?s propositions and metaphors in mind.

Death Note - Separate Output Media Analysis
Doležálková, Klára ; Pospiszyl, Tomáš (advisor) ; Fila, Kamil (referee)
My thesis analyses one of the japanese popular comicses ? manga ? Death Note (written by Takeshi Obata and
illustrated by Tsugumi Ohba) and its other media incarnations,
which means animated tv series and a feature film consisting
of two parts. I put an effort to compare them considering the
camera work, editing, size of the angle and the story itself.
Their relationship to the contemporary japanese visual culture
is mentioned too. To describe the visual character of japanese
commercials and the phenomenon of "superflat" I chose to use
the broader frame of Japan proper. Furthermore, I made a
research on the social group of japanese teenagers called
otaku, prodigy and last but not least the media technologies
appearing often in Death Note. Finally I included the chapter
about the origin of a picture, or, rather: how it is impossible
to perceive a picture in its purity, when every single picture
is derived nowadays.
My thesis is mostly based on the english-written literature,
but I gained a lot of information online and from a Živel issue
about Japan.
