Koutesh, Marek ; Bláhová, Jindřiška (advisor) ; Přádná, Stanislava (referee)
The aim of this thesis was to analyze the film Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter? by the director Frank Tashlin. The initial hypothesis was that this film goes beyond the contemporary Hollywood production and uses highly self-reflexive practices. For the analysis of the film, the approach of neoformalist analysis was chosen, which methodology was defined by Kristin Thompson in the publication Breaking the Glass Armor: Neoformalist Film Analysis. The first section provides a theoretical and methodological reflection of the tools of neoformalist analysis. Following on from this, the methodological approach to film history is reflected, based on the concept of the classical Hollywood cinema and on the book by Robert C. Allen and Douglas Gomery Film History: Theory and Practice. The next chapter summarizes the historical context and influences that have contributed to the shape of the artistic work. In the analytical part, the exposure of popculture structures is described as the central principle of the movie, and with the help of the tools of neoformalist analysis, the author tries to demonstrate how it manifests itself in the different components.

Artistic film style of Alexandr Petrov in animated short films
Něudačina, Natalija ; Svatoňová, Kateřina (advisor) ; Přádná, Stanislava (referee)
The aim of the bachelor thesis Artistic film style of Alexandr Petrov in animated short films is to apply different tools of neoformalist analysis to five short animated films (specifically to films The Cow, The Dream of a ridiculous man, Mermaid, The Old man and the Sea and My Love), which were created by a russian director Alexandr Petrov, who uses one of the most difficult animation techniques - paint on glass. After summarizing basic concepts of the theoretical framework I am going to put Petrov's filmography into appropriate historical and sociocultural context. The analysis will be based on neoformalist terms, defined by David Bordwell and Kristin Thompson. Adaptation of analytical methods to the film material itself will allow us to describe, what kind of narrative and stylistic devices distinguish Petrovs' films. Another objective of this analysis is to prove that the main dominant, which influences the usage of all structural devices, is constant balancing between subjective and real world of the main character in the diegesis.

Sedláčková, Dagmar ; Čeněk, David (advisor) ; Svatoňová, Kateřina (referee)
(in English): The subject of this bachelor thesis is the neoformalist analysis of the film "I love you, I love you" by the French director Alain Resnais. The main aim is to show through neoformalist analysis how the film works with the concept of memory, recollections, and non-chronological narrative. The key element of this approach is the recognition of the dominant element of the film, which in the case of "I love you, I love you" is Bergson's concept of time and memory. The thesis consists of two parts; the first section is focused on cultural and economical context, the major part is a neformalist analysis. !
