Imaginary in film: viewer's perception of the film
Remešová, Iveta ; Řehořová, Irena (advisor) ; Borecký, Felix (referee)
This thesis deals with the film in the psycho-semiotics' meaning. We focus on the viewer's perception of the film and we emphasize the concept of imaginary that is to be explained as mere image (imago) in comparison with the reality of actual gestures and movements and such image is not usually realized by the viewer. The aim of the thesis is to analyze the film from the perspective of the viewer's perception of the film and to apply acquired knowledge to the reception of Kill Bill Vol. 1 and 2 film. We want to find out whether and under what conditions the viewer becomes aware of the imaginary that is ubiquitous in the film. We're looking for viewer's semiotic and cognitive attitudes to the film art. We also try to describe the influence of elements, which have some effects on the viewer during watching a movie, such as emotions, movement, connotative meanings in the film or positive and negative characters etc.
