Life According To Them
Bendová, Ivana ; Kavka,, Tomáš (referee) ; Klímová, Barbora (advisor)
In the thesis LIFE ACCORDING TO THEM I deal with beauty blogs on YouTube. I use my own pieces of work, especially video recordings of performances for the camera or for the audience, which were created during the entire master’s degree study. Their further processing together with ideas and experiences leads to an audio-visual collage, that will accompany the final performative lecture. The aforementioned collage may also exist as a separate video-essay expressing my experiences with the topic of blogging.

Viewers Motivations for Watching Beauty Videos on You Tube
Jiroušková, Dominika ; Křížková, Alena (advisor) ; Švelch, Jaroslav (referee)
The diploma thesis focuses on motivations for watching beauty videos on YouTube. The aim is to clarify why viewers watch amateur videos that communicate topics related to physical appearance. Assuming the audience as an active actor of media communication the thesis is based on uses and gratification theory. Viewers watch beauty videos consciously to meet their individual needs. Based on an analysis of eleven interviews with regular viewers of beauty videos this thesis reveals five categories of motivation. Beauty videos represent the source of information, the source of entertainment, the platform for communication with individuals with shared theme of interest and the tool for self-education. These motivations are not specific for this specific type of media and can motivate viewers to watch amateur beauty videos and professional beauty shows equally. The key motivation for watching beauty videos on YouTube is the interest of videobloggers. Authors of beauty videos disclose parts of their privacy, show their imperfections and interact with their audience. Using these practices videobloggers evoke the illusion of a close relationship between them and their viewers. Viewers have the opportunity the create strong social ties to videobloggers.

Vlogs as part of journalism
Klíma, Štěpán ; Láb, Filip (advisor) ; Géla, František (referee)
The thesis focuses on the increasing use of video format in journalism, particularly in blogosphere. In the first part, I have looked at the historical context of interpersonal communication and tried to find a link between a society where people communicated orally only and between the contemporary one. I have subsequently extended the historical aspects with the psychological level of communication. I have sought to find out how visual communication, even when mediated through video, affects us and how different it can be compared to communication through text. In the second part of my thesis I verified my theoretical findings in practice through a case study. During several interviews with DVTV Internet television channel makers and a visit at the studio I was finding out how the content is prepared and what technical solutions they use for it. I was particularly interested in the progress that has been made from the time first episodes were created until the current form.
