Elements Of The Road Movie Genre Focusing On The Theme Of Family In Contemporary Cinematography
Honzková, Aneta ; DUFEK, Jiří (advisor) ; MRAVCOVÁ, Marie (referee)
In the bachelor thesis I am focusing on the modifications and use of the road movie genre focusing on the theme of family.
Road Movies have variety of forms, but they all have one exact rule - moving from point A to point Z. What is going to happen on the road, that is unknown. I will try to demonstrate - on the examples of contemporary road movie - how our generation is losing conslusions, dreams and goals. What do we want, when do we want, why do we want? What are we searching for. Our generation is led to reach the most in the minimum of time. The most as fast as possible.
It only leads to the rebelion, we are becoming the same anti-heroes as we know from the road movies. And we are getting on the road, searching for that "something" that will give us the meaning of our lives.

Dramaturgical overlap of Zdenek Liskas' film music
Voneš, Adam ; SKALL, Vladimír (advisor) ; KOPECKÝ, Pavel (referee)
This bachelor's thesis is a theoretical work of a student of Department Of Sound Design at FAMU. It is not a Zdenek Liska's memoir but the analysis of his film music composed with accent on dramaturgy; the major topic is a look on different functions, which the film music aims for.
The main part of the thesis focuses on analyzing the five most important Czechoslovakian movies' dramaturgy overlaps: The Cremator (dir. Juraj Herz), Marketa Lazarova (dir. František Vláčil), Settlement of Crows (dir. Jan Schmidt), Icarus XB 1 (dir. Jindřich Polák) and The Fabulous World of Jules Verne (dir. Karel Zeman).
The use of music, which is not only musical, is what is called a dramaturgical overlap: it can stand for a cultural reference, it can be carrier of its own meanings, or music can work as foleys, a soundscape or as a dialogue track. Each film discussed is followed by chosen excerpts on enclosed DVD.
The next part is a memoir, not written in a typical biographical way but from a professional's point of view: the topics cover a historical context of film music and Liška's contextualization in it. I discuss Zdenek Liska's cooperation with other crew members such as an editor, a director, other sound designers, musical dramaturge or his work with a symphonic orchestra.His own music composing is in consideration as well, with his very own working processes.
This thesis is for professional public in cinema and music industry.

In this work I deal with analysis of purport of magical characters in Ota Hofman's work.
Hofman is a founder of modern cinematic fairy-tale in Czechoslovakia and his work cinematic and literary is known worldwide. My aim is to describe and categorise his world in its own developmental stages and peripeteia, showing intensity of authorship in his work. Connecting children's psychology with behaviour and motivation of his characters, I would like to show the children's world as seen through Ota Hofman's eyes.

The Flames of Royal Love
Bokšteflová, Lucie ; BERNARD, Jan (advisor) ; MRAVCOVÁ, Marie (referee)
The subject of this thesis is a project by film director Jan Němec (born 1936) whose intent was to create a film adaptation of the novel The Sufferings of Prince Sternenhoch written in the 1920s by writer and philosopher Ladislav Klíma (1878-1928). The thesis presents individual segments of this project - from the source material to the script and directorial concept created in the '60s, through individual phases of the film's development and production in the '90s to reactions after its release in 1991. Emphasis is placed on the thoughts and attitudes of Němec himself. The thesis' main sources were the archives of Barrandov Studio as well as interviews with Němec, both public and non-public. The goal of the thesis is to convey information about the project as a whole and thus provide a deeper insight into this particular piece of Němec's creative output.

Creativity Iin Producing Practise
Mahler, Jakub ; KALLISTA, Jaromír (advisor) ; VLACH, Jiří (referee)
This Baccalaureate thesis aims to examine the creative component of Czech film producers' work: to what extent finished projects match the original ideas and which methods are used to maintain a direction in the development and realization stages of the film production. This work attempts to describe the types, methods, possibilities and tendencies of the producers' creativity, and also examine the creative part of their work in general.
Based on both historical and current analyses, case studies (both published and original ones) of individual films, and interviews of producers and directors, the author explores the producers' approach (choice of the film material, producers' visions, social and artistic ambitions) and their methods at individual production stages (how much freedom they give to the creative professionals and to what extent they intervene with the film's production). The author of this thesis then compares and contrasts the various film production styles and provides a comprehensive synthesis.

ELEVEN FACES OF JAN GOGOL, JR.
Rendl, Jan ; RŮŽIČKOVÁ, Alice (advisor) ; KUBICA, Petr (referee)
Author Jan Rendl in his thesis attempts to look at the world of ideas and educator Jan
Gogola ml. through the eleven chapters in which each chapter somehow characterizes itself by Jan Gogola ml. and each of them somehow determines its creative ideas of it through the metaphor of a football match when Jan Gogola, with its characters, movies himself a teammate, as well as defensively. It gives goals with their situations as well as occasionally digging his opponents ankles.
Jan Gogola ml. thus embodies one stage of the Department of Documentary Film at FAMU, which often stands at the intersection between teaching activities and Karel Vachek among students who applied by them during their seminars psychological methods that work must be peculiarly associated with the author of the film.

Reflection of the personality and works of Franz Kafka in the Czech cinematography
Císařovská, Natálie ; BERNARD, Jan (advisor) ; ADLER, Rudolf (referee)
In my bachelor diploma work I m making a probe, how czech filmakers were reflecting personality and works of famous jewish writer from Prague Franz Kafka. Until 60 s he was forgotten and ignored so it was the generation of the New Wave who has discovered him and was inspirated by his visions. The theme Kafka was allways kind of a mirror of political and social climate in the socialistic Czechoslovakia. In 70 s and 80 s Kafka was forbidden, and we cand find him just in the amateurish movies or in the exile cinematography. Just after the Revolution in 1989 Kafka is back and inspires filmakers with the whole freedom...

Czech Road Movie
Hašek, Václav ; POZZI, Jaroslav (advisor) ; MRAVCOVÁ, Marie (referee)
The thesis focuses on the genre of road movies and its use in the Czech cinema. It develops around the precondition that Czech settings are not convenient for the genre which originates in the specific geographical environment and cultural background of the United States. By analyzing several selected Czech road movies and their use of the rules and features characteristic for the genre, it attempts to prove whether the above precondition holds, or not.
