Construction of a gag in the works of Monty Python
Sláma, Matěj ; DUFEK, Jiří (advisor) ; DOLENSKÝ, Martin (referee)
The goal of this thesis is analysis of Monty Python’s comic. I do analyse the functionality from the dramaturgical point of view on the one hand and the formal structure on the other hand, that is slightly different in the film production and in the TV production. I am focusing on the gag structure, following the tradition of the mute slapstick comedy, where you can also see their specific point of view of this film genre. Gag is the smallest part of this genre. In the first part of my thesis, there is an analysis of the gag principle in general, in the second part I compare how is this British humour group working with gag and I illustrate it on the examples from the TV serial and from the movie.
From the analysis, I realized that it’s not the absence of the point, but the distancing effect, what makes Monty Python’s gag so original.

Volek, Jiří ; BLAŽEVIČ, Jasmina (advisor) ; Bojar, Tomáš (referee)
Final thesis reflects the preproduction and production of thesis film with the topic of radical football fans. Work defines the theme of violence in the world of rowdies and film work with them. Further analyzes not only the history of football fans, but their categorization in terms of sociology and their impact on contemporary society. Work is devoted to the history of Czech cinema, working with the motif of the football world. The reasoning at the conclusion of the thesis reflects the impact of the films on this topic at the general audience and selected subculture.

Robinson Crusoe - comparison of animated movie and live action movie
Nováková, Hana ; KUBÍČEK, Jiří (advisor) ; DUTKA, Edgar (referee)
The topic of this bachelor thesis is comparison between screenwriting for animated film and live action film and a search for differences in both types of writing. Specifically, this thesis compares two films based on the book The Life and Strange Surprising Adventures of Robinson Crusoe of York, Mariner, by Daniel Defoe. Using this book I am able to describe the possibilities of both literature and film, and to demonstrate which parts of the book are preferred for film adaptation and why. I also briefly mention the evolution of the story of Robinson Crusoe, and show how animation and live action films deal with these changes. In the final part of my thesis I compare the 1954 live action film Robinson Crusoe, directed byLuis Bunuel with the 1981 Czech puppet film The adventure of Robinson Crusoe of York, mariner, directed by Stanislav Látal. Comparing these two films enabled me to understand and describe specific rules and procedures in scriptwriting for an animated film.

Trans narrative
Machajová, Dana ; BENDOVÁ, Helena (advisor) ; POSPISZYL, Tomáš (referee)
In my thesis I compare various trans* representations in fiction films, documentary films, TV series and video journals on the internet. I assume, that projections of trans* people differ in stories they tell, depending on media in which they are constructed. Most of the visible trans* stories in media are "being reborn to the right body testimonies (in opposition to the wrong body given at birth)". This is connected to the legislative rules one must follow if he/she wants to have his/her gender reassigned. Trans* activists in global context take steps closer to legislative changes that lead to bigger tolerance and freedom of gender expression. In analysis of characters of seven fiction films, three TV series, four documentaries, one reality show and work of three trans* video bloggers, I demonstrate, that the representation of trans* identities in mainstream media space is reductive and works within strict rules. These rules relate to pathological default setting of the trans* status. On the other hand, the more authentic the material is, the wider variety of stories we see..
