Parody of Czech Television in the series Dobré ráno, Brno! as a modern form of television entertainment
Straka, Tomáš ; Kruml, Milan (advisor) ; Štoll, Martin (referee)
This thesis deals with the analysis of the television series "Dobré ráno, Brno!" produced by Czech Television. The series serves as a parody of the original show "Dobré ráno", which is broadcast on weekdays and aims to provide "a morning dose of information and music, accompanied by interesting guests and tips". Czech Television has created a series that daringly parodies not only itself as a significant institution, including its employees, but also the television industry as a whole. The series allows for the analysis of key concepts of television entertainment, such as the use of parody, satire, humour, and hyperbole. The aim of this thesis is to determine the nature of parody in the series "Dobré ráno, Brno!" in relation to Czech Television and to examine how the series contributes to a greater genre diversity in television entertainment, particularly in the areas of parody, satire, and humour. The research method selected for this study is semiotic analysis, with an emphasis on the analysis of meanings on the level of denotation and connotation following the approach of Roland Barthes. The detailed semiotic analysis includes analysis of dialogues and verbal signs, examination of sound design, and the overall mise-en-scène analysis, including the analysis of individual characters, costumes,...
The interpretation of film narrative in the works of Alejandro González Iňárritu
Juřenová, Nikola ; Klabíková Rábová, Tereza (advisor) ; Štoll, Martin (referee)
The presented master thesis explores the interpretation of film narrative in the works of the Mexican film director Alejandro González Iñárritu. Through a narrative analysis of seven feature films, including Amores Perros, Babel, and Bardo - False Chronicle of Handful of Truths, I will explore the director's distinctive approach to the construction of film narrative. The analysis includes aspects of narrative logic and temporal manipulation to identify recurring patterns and narrative devices used in Iñárritu's works. The theoretical part briefly introduces the director and anchors his position in the context of modern Mexican cinema. The methodological part of the work is based on the film theories of David Bordwell and Seymour Chatman. These are later supplemented by the theories of Charles Ramírez Berg and other authors, focusing on complicated narratives. The analytical part of the thesis examines the use of narrative technique, thematic motives, and socio-political contexts present in his films. Since the non-linear form of the story is not the only specific element of his work, I will also focus on a chronological examination of his filmography and artistic development in the time period 1983-2023. The findings of this analysis contribute to a deeper understanding of Iñárritu's directorial...
