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.
