Kulturní průmysly v ČR: Audiovizuální a mediální sektor 2014
Odbor statistik rozvoje společnosti
Analytický text s názvem Kulturní průmysly v ČR volně navazuje na publikaci Kulturní zařízení v ČR, kterou Český statistický úřad vydával v minulých letech a která se zaměřovala na tradiční kulturní oblasti formou prezentace převzatých dat. Nová publikace nese podtitul Audiovizuální a mediální sektor, jenž více konkretizuje oblast analýzy. Český statistický úřad sbírá každoročně data od poskytovatelů rozhlasového a televizního vysílání v rámci výkazů Kult. Právě myšlenka využití těchto dat a jejich propojení s výstupy z relevantních šetření ČSÚ vedla ke vzniku této publikace. Ta vedle rozhlasového a televizního vysílání sleduje také oblast filmu, hudby, videoher, knih a tisku, tedy oblasti spadající do tzv. kulturního průmyslu, definovaného dle zavedeného trojsektorového vymezení oblasti kultury.

"The Bestseller Effect": Stávají se z úspěšných knih kasovní trháky kin?
Smyčková, Renée ; Stroukal, Dominik (advisor) ; Špecián, Petr (referee)
The thesis investigates a connection between the publishing industry and the film industry. It analyses whether films based on best-selling books have higher revenues and return on investment compared to films based on unsuccessful books or original scripts. Data for years 2009 -- 2015, focusing on the U.S. entertainment industry, show that film adaptations of best-selling books reach higher revenues during their opening weekend of the theatrical release. The Bestseller Effect weakens once the information about film's quality becomes available to the audience. The success of a book plays negligible role in film's returns on investment. The results of analysis also show great positive significant impact of the production budget, the star cast, films quality and sequels on the films'financial performance.

And the winner is... The presence of political slant in the movie production
Selep, Ján ; Stroukal, Dominik (advisor) ; Dušek, Libor (referee)
I study movie studio profit maximization based on an optimization of a political language in the dialogues. I explore the flexibility with which a rational firm slants language of its movies in order to get closer either to a Democratic or a Republican customer. Using computational linguistics I construct vectors of phrase frequency distribution based on a text of almost a decade of U.S. Congress transcripts and 457 randomly chosen movie subtitles. In order to measure distance between the phrase vectors I use chi square statistics and its Monte Carlo approximation. I find no evidence of political slant in movies neither in a movie studio comparison nor for a time-varying comparison of movies in different years. In addition I construct a slant index covering level of political language in a movie. Using the index I find no evidence of impact of political language on movie revenues.

To heat the silence, there must be heard the noise first
Březina, Jan ; Valak, Radim (advisor) ; Marek, Petr (referee)
In this paper I tried to cover existing body of work of French film director Bruno Dumont. In his five feature films I tried to find common motives to examine the specificity of his work. What are the film tools he uses to address the spectator and what is the purpose. I identified the dominant motives as four philosophical categories: body, territory, awaken one self, guilt.

Lesson Švankmajer
Kim, Eun Sue ; Ulver, Stanislav (advisor) ; Kubíček, Jiří (referee)
Jan Svankmajer has been repeatedly derived images of people who repress freedom of individuals and the oppressed people from several literary works and writings in his films.
In this regard, 'Lunacy' is one of the representative works.
This paper analyzes his perspective on freedom focusing on his film 'Lunacy' which crammed with motifs and symbols of freedom and repression, insanity and punishment.
Perhaps people of our current era may find something in common with the oppressed characters in the old novels.
It is a search for the answer of the abstract question, 'What is freedom?' borrowing and sharing an individual, Jan Svankmajer's vision.
