Jump cut, the cut jumping about conventions of continuity editing
Kozáková, Tereza ; BROTHÁNEK, Adam (advisor) ; ČIHÁK, Martin (referee)
This bachelor thesis examines the discontinuous editing process - jump cut in the theoretical-historical context, as well as in the three film analyzes, both practical and meaningful.
The theoretical part of this work serves to realize the basic principles of shearing composition and, in particular, defines the circumstances that are behind the successful binding of shots in general. The next part of the text is devoted to the technical aspects of the jump cut and the related aspects that are decisive for its composite quality. This part also explores the historical origin of the jump cut on film examples, where it appears first and / or consciously. To a large extent, how much and how the popular film criticism has contributed to its popularization.
Finally, the analysis of the three selected films examine both the useful jump cut and the occasions when it is not. Analysis are specifically intended to characterize the importance of jump cut and its impact on the viewer in the story of the analyzed works and whether, under what circumstances the jump cut contributed to the resulting whole or not of the work.

Audience expectations in relation with film authenticity
Jelínek, Jakub ; BAGDASAROV, Georgy (advisor) ; Kratochvíl, Jaroslav (referee)
This study aims to examine the cosmos of mock-documentary films, that are trying to fool its audience throughout the acceptance of the form of real documentary films. By using the same stylistic elements they try to deprive the audience of its critical approach and make it believe. Through the analysis of those fictional mock-documentaries, we are going to reveal procedures used by many directors all over the world to create something what we call the illusion of the real. On the specific examples of "mockumentary" films, propaganda films and some conspiracy theory films, we will explore whether all of those film forms use the same procedures to convince their audience since they are all trying to achieve the same result – to create an ultimate vision of the real throughout the acceptance of visual and formal appearance of documentary film.

TIME LOOP NARRATIVE IN GROUNDHOG DAY, RUN LOLA RUN, AND TIMECRIMES
Ortiz Cordero, Edgar Josue ; DAŇHEL, Jan (advisor) ; Brothánek, Adam (referee)
A time loop narrative is a type of non-linear narrative structure where the story centers on the repetition of either a series of events, i.e., the robbery of a store, a single day, 90 minutes. Characters are often trapped within this machination, doomed to experience a recurrence of events until they find an exit or solution. It is a widely used narrative technique that reminisces of Nietzsche’s “eternal return," the Greek myth of Sisyphus, theWheel of Dharma of Buddhism and the Chinese legend of Wu Gang. This thesis is a study on contemporary time loop films. It discusses the specifics of this type of film and analyzes in-depth a selection of three representative works. Through this analysis, it aims to deconstruct the films into their narrative, and thematic components to find the similarities and differences between them. At the same time, it seeks to give particular attention the elements of film language used in these films.

The image of a violent woman
Chalupová, Barbora ; Klusáková, Veronika (advisor) ; ŘEZNÍČEK, Martin (referee)
In my bachelor´s thesis I deal with the ways of depicting of violence caused by female characters in the context of last year´s (2017) film fiction in the western culture. I´m describing particular instances of woman violence on the background of the tendencies of power and gender in the society. I´m dealing with strong female characters from several points of view, i.e. on the basis of the motivation for violence, sophistication of the characters and possible social impact regarding redefinition of attitudes towards the questions of gender. In conclusion I´m offering my own solution in the form of certain manifesto. I´m introducing my idea of overcoming the dilemma of an attempt of showing strong/violent and still credible characters, liberated from the burden of stereotypical anticipation.

Between life and death
Veljanoski, Antonio ; MALIMÁNEK, Karel (advisor) ; TRAJKOV, Ivo (referee)
This diploma thesis is focused on film scenes or sequences in which the main characters move from life to death (i.e. they die) and from death to life. The thesis contains a summary and analysis of these scenes from editorial and psychological point of view, as well as from formal point of view. This thesis presents only the most basic examples of the world cinematography. Sequence selection includes a variety of cases that differ from one another. The aim is to analyse the different variations of the examples, which enables the readers of this thesis to understand the importance of editing and film dramaturgy during the creation of film, and it shows how they affect the behavior of the characters from a psychological point of view. Some of the films that deal with this subject are not covered by this diploma thesis because they contain the tools already used in another film that was made earlier and has already been analysed in the text. The thesis focuses mainly on feature films, not on animated ones. This thesis includes a DVD, which contains almost all the analyzed scenes.

"Hliník moved to Humpolec". Cult film (not only) in the Czech context.
TRUBKA, Jiří
The diploma thesis focuses on the phenomenon of cult film, its theoretical definition, its history from the beginning to the present days, in world vide and Czech context. Another topic is the typology of cult films, selected cult directors. The other aim are fan activities, which are essential for the acquisition of the cult status of the film. The aim of this work is to reflect the phenomenon of cult film and to analyse selected Czech films in order to find out whether these films meet the cult film criteria according to the characteristics of selected theoreticians. The resulting analysis will confirm or will rebut my hypothesis and will show whether the use of the term cult film is accidental and has its backing in the Czech environment.
