Music as a Part of the Inner World of film
Šec, František ; BAGDASAROV, Georgy (advisor) ; ČENĚK, Jan (referee)
This thesis deals with the use of music, a factor which strongly affects the viewer's emotions. This is particularly true with respect to its position relative to the image - an important factor affecting its functioning in the film. I start with the theoretical works that analyze the problem, how the viewer in the cinema hears the sounds and what impact it has on their different positions to the image. Principles of film music also influenced the long-term development of cinema. This process was accompanied today's over-use of music. In many cases, the authors ignore the consequences caused by its position. Specific examples of films will help us understand the whole issue. The position of music is not always easily determinable. Work will help us understand the importance of integrating musical part in the film. If music is sophisticated and connected with the world of film, the viewer can concentrate and perceive the film as art.

Film adaptations of theatrical productions in czech film
Hovorková, Barbora ; GREINER, Ladislav (advisor) ; SKALL, Vladimír (referee)
In this theoretical thesis I want to explore the interaction of theater and film. I do not want to be preoccupied with "filmed theater", but only with film adaptations of theatrical productions. Dramatic works became really often template for films, but what leads the creators of the movie to film the specific theatrical productions? How will the filmmakers be affected by existing artwork, and which path to take when theater and film have so many different ways of expression? What has the movie theater to offer, and what the film is able to borrow, take, or transform? And in this case,are there any rules?
