Berdych's Case in Czech Film: From Reality and Newspaper/TV News to Film and Film Reviews
Robotková, Martina ; Novotný, David Jan (advisor) ; Doležal, Aleš (referee)
The bachelor's thesis entitled "The Berdych case in Czech film: from reality and newspaper/TV news to film treatment to film reviews" deals with an organized criminal group that formed around David Berdych, the bouncer from Discoland Sylvia, in the early 1990s. The specificity of the Berdych's case lies in the fact that detectives from the Department for Combating Organized Crime (OBOZ) were part of the criminal gang and they were covering up the criminal activities of the gang over the years. The Berdych's gang committed kidnappings, thefts and robberies until 2004, when two detectives from OBOZ, Helena Kahnová and Tomáš Gregor, managed to uncover the gang. The thesis focuses on the media portrayal of the Berdych's case, using selected Czech news websites and news programmes. The Berdych's gang later inspired the TV Nova series Expozitura and the documentary film Zákon Helena by filmmaker Petra Nesvačilová. The thesis deals with the specifics of the TV series and the documentary film, analysis of these film works and reviews of film critics and the public. The aim of the work was to present a comprehensive picture of the Berdych's case, which has gone down in history as the biggest case of organised crime intertwined with the police in our history.

Stars, points, percentage: the influence of critics reviews on the Czech cinema attendance
Karlíčková, Iva ; Křeček, Jan (advisor) ; Kruml, Milan (referee)
Diploma thesis Stars, points, percentage: the influence of critics reviews on the Czech cinema attendance aims to verify whether reviews and critics in printed and electronic media affect how many viewers see the movie in the cinema. Besides this main question, this study is also focused on other hypotheses associated with the general notion that a professional film critic, as an expert, has higher demands on audiovisual works, and therefore films rated in professional journals have a lower rating than when they are evaluated in the media intended for the general public. The theoretical framework of the thesis briefly deals with the definition and historical development of criticism at first in general and then with the critics and reviews of film. It also outlines the evolution of cinematography and film as media and art. In addition, some other factors that may affect cinema attendance are mentioned. The last passage summarizes the current foreign and domestic studies and works dealing with similar topics. In the research part, all the films that premiered in our country from 2006 to 2015 were analyzed by the quantitative method.

Roháčková, Kristina ; Štoll, Martin (advisor) ; Lokšík, Martin (referee)
The emergence of the Internet and digital media has irreversibly erased the differences between media producers and their consumers.

Master's thesis titled Film Video Review as a Format of Online Journalism deals with the phenomenon of video reviews - i.e. videos in which one or more film critics introduce and review a film that is currently premiering in the cinemas - whose popularity is directly related to the worldwide reach and communal function of said social media. The aim of this thesis is to define the film video review as a separate format of online journalism based on the comparison of selected video reviewers that represent both Czech and foreign media, as well as platforms of participative journalism. The first chapter provides a general overview of what requirements film reviews and film criticism should meet, the second then summarises expert views on the crisis of film criticism and the alleged death of the film critic. The last chapter of the theoretical part then presents basic findings on video reviews and the related format of video essay. Subsequently, the fourth chapter introduces the reader to a...
