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.

The possibilities of adaptation - Ladislav Fuks
Peroutka, Jan ; VAJCHR, Marek (advisor) ; MRAVCOVÁ, Marie (referee)
In our work we are dealing with analysis of the novel Pasáček z doliny and its film adaptation. We are trying to capture the way how this novel was transferred to the screen. We are finding out how much the filmmakers stuck to the novel and how much they used its opportunities. To this analysis we are using selected aspects of literary work and the method of comparation of film with original literary work. However we are trying to exceed the limits of film and literary science and also provide a preview from the perspective of a film creator, who examines the use or non-use of the potential of literary original. We are taking to the account also the context of the period, wherein Ladislav Fuks's novel was formed and František Vláčil's adaptation and also we are trying to understand these works in context of creation both authors.

Klímová, Blanka ; PETRÁŇ, Tomáš (advisor) ; Brothánek, Adam (referee)
The starting point of my work will be a selection of films about Dracula.In this thesis, I would like to address the evolution in the representations of Dracula, from physical appearance to changes in the character, as well as the character development within the story.I want to look into this subject from a broad scope: Not only from the cinematographic context, but also from the cultural, historical and dramaturgical context. I'm interested in the evolution of the archetype of immortality in different cultural manifestations, from body embalming through sculpture, painting, photography to film.
Furthermore, the thesis will study the reassessment of its symbolism, the phenomena of film remaking and the meaning behind the necessity for repetition and reinterpretation of the myth.This work should also ascertain when the reality becomes myth and why.My sources of information will not be only the selected films, but specialized literature by authors such as M. Eliade, B. Fořt and E.Fromm.

Film interperations of significant works in Czech literature
ŠAUFLEROVÁ, Petra
The aim of this diploma thesis is to discuss film interpretations of major works in Czech literature. At first I discussed with the question of literary work rewritten into a movie, I introduced the basic terminology and analyzed in detail the various elements of literary text. I also mentioned the specifics of literary and cinematic expression, individual adaptation approaches and I briefly stopped by the theory of hot and cold media. The next part of my work is devoted to narrative technologies and the figure of the narrator. There I introduced different opinions of literary theorists on this question. For the practical part of my diploma thesis I chose the representatives of each adaptation approach and then I analyzed them in terms of the credibility of literary text and the figure of the narrator.
