Imaging styles of American Cameramen in the 1960’s and 70‘s in the 20th century
Chajewski, Jan ; BRABEC, Jaroslav (advisor) ; SMUTNÝ, Vladimír (referee)
An analysis of the changes in style in cinematography during the „New Hollywood“ or „American New Wave“ of the 1960’s and 70‘s is the intent of this thesis. The main context for this analysis is the influence the French New Wave had on American Cinema. We try to look at specific aspects of American visual culture and the progress made in that culture as a result of American cinematographer’s reaction to new cinematic ideas. As a result of new thinking in cinema Hollywood cameramen began making “mistakes” acceptable and using them as visual tools, that their older colleagues where forbidden to use. Bonnie and Clyde was the first widely successful “New Hollywood” film, so in comparison to Jules and Jim, its French equivalent, we can look at the way visual language changed and how differently the same cinematic thought can be brought to life in two very different cinematic cultures.
The main contribution of this thesis is the analysis of the new visual tools that American cameramen brought to world cinema. These tools can be observed when watching almost any audiovisual product made after 1967, when Bonnie and Clyde had its premiere. For future cinematographers the knowledge of the historical context of these visual tools can be beneficial for more informed viewing.

Rustic and acoustic. Editor's work on an audiovisual field
Pospíšil, Matěj ; ČIHÁK, Martin (advisor) ; BROTHÁNEK, Adam (referee)
This paper focuses on sound as an essential structural element in the creation
of an audiovisual work in the editing room. It describes the basic physical, physiological
and psychological effects of sound waves on the human being-editor (and subsequently
on the viewer). It further examines the relationship between sound and image based on a few key concepts developed by theoretician Michel Chion. Examples of a precise and meaningful work with sound are drawn from the analysis of various excerpts of Miroslav Janek's film Chačipe, edited by Tonička Janková.

The light atmosphere in the film and the visual image
Hubač, Jan ; BRABEC, Jaroslav (advisor) ; KOBLOVSKÝ, Petr (referee)
In my diploma thesis I?m attempting to understand light in its various forms. The main goal of this thesis is to explore particular connections, but also differences within the framework of atmospheric lighting construction in film and art images. The first part of the text provides a summary of information about light itself, its perception, dispersion and its influence on the human psyche. It also addresses light and the construction of atmospheric lighting in several historical periods of fine art and cinematography.
The following chapters focus on light composition construction as viewed by camera-men. An analysis of a selection of films is used to present specific cinematographic methods, especially those dealing with light. The final part of this thesis explores the work of film artists who were inspired by paintings in which the determining feature was the original artist?s usage of light and atmospheric lighting.
