Internet Televisions with Original Professional Online Video Captures
Bajgarová, Barbora ; MORAVEC, Václav (advisor) ; Horák, Petr (referee)
With the beginning of this millennium, the fast progress of digital technologies and increasing possibilities of on-line distribution of content have substantially changed the character of the audio-visual production. Next to professional film and television content, where the border between producers and consumers is strictly divided, the new direction of “user videos” has developed due to the reduction of costs and easy access to the production and distribution of audio-visual content to the wide public. With their increasing popularity, these videos started to be more professional and commercialized in their turn, which lead to the creation of internet-only televisions financed by advertising.
In this diploma thesis, I will analyse internet televisions with original professional video content in the context of Czech market. What did they develop from? Which aspects are specific for the Czech context? What is specific for particular programs, and what problems could arise in the future?

The study is devoted to the use of leisure, its position and importance in the general time framework of a day. There is also a discussion of the trends and shifts in society associated with broader cultural and institutional processes (transformation of the labour market, globalisation, individualisation, differentiation, post-communist transformation, and the gender question). In addition, the study empirically examines the importance and potential of leisure activities for the formation of place attachment and associated processes of the creation of social capital, contact networks and knowledge transfer. Through these effects, leisure can contribute to the endogenous development of distinct types of area. In fact, attention is focused on two ways of leisure time activities with a considerable local tie and potential for the creation of social capital.
