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.

Psychoanalysis like a narative tool
Dvořák, Michal ; MALIMÁNEK, Karel (advisor) ; BROTHÁNEK, Adam (referee)
We see the film like a reality because our perception of the film is like
a reality around us. Movie as a dream and like a dream has unique tools how describe our soul and unconscious processes. This advantage is a crucial for my research, how can be useful for understanding how our unconscious works. C. G. Jung and Joseph Campbell and his work helps me with looking for the answer. How can film speak to us through the psychological layer instead of the narrative layer.

Strejcovský, Jan ; BARTOŠEK, Pavel (advisor) ; PETŘÍČEK, Miroslav (referee)

Statues Also Die and Cinama II: The Time-Image; La Jetée and Bergsonism; Sunless and Proust and Signs.

The Reflection of the Vichy's participation in Shoah in French Cinematography
Rábová, Michaela ; Matějka, Ondřej (advisor) ; Šafařík, Petr (referee)
This bachelor thesis focuses on the difficulties French people meet when dealing with their war history when the Vichy regime collaborated with Nazis on the persecution and deportation of Jewish people. This topic is exclusively examined from the point of view of French cinema between 1945 and 2010. By analyzing the films concentrated on Shoah, the thesis shows the development of portraying Vichy's involvement in the genocide. The main aim is to answer the question on how was this issue shown in French cinema during the second half of the 20th century and to create a new chronology of this topic from 1945 until 2010 based on the analysis of chosen films and secondary literature. The thesis should then approve or disapprove the hypothesis that the intention of French film makers to point out the taboos connected with collaboration and Shoah increased throughout the second half of the last century which was enabled partly by the attitudes of the new post-war generation and partly by the change in the French politics.
