The Gray Man
Haraším, Richard ; Záhora, Zdeněk (referee) ; Vaněk, Vojtěch (advisor)
I focus on developing original digital game The Gray Man in the point & click adventure genre from the position of a indie developer, creating all segments of the game on my own. Primarily by seeking a synthesis of the serial killer personality from first-person view and the gameplay experience, which is mediated by the transfer of 3D space into a 2D closed world where, despite the various limitations of player movement, game mechanics and interactivity by simply clicking the mouse, I strive for a specific design of the main character's movement and associated controls. The main objective of this thesis is to convey these new approaches in interaction with the environment and the theme of the game itself. A parallel goal is also produce a fully playable version of the game.

The representation of American serial killers of the 1970s in a film
Michal, Jan ; Bednařík, Petr (advisor) ; Štoll, Martin (referee)
This thesis primarily focuses on the analysis of film adaptations of selected serial killer cases which have taken place in the USA in the 1970s (The Zodiac Killer, Ted Bundy, John Wayne Gacy, David Berkowitz and Jeffrey Dahmer). Its main aim is to delineate the presentation of this pathological phenomenon, which especially came to prominence in the 1970s, through a classification built on the findings of narratology/literary theory. The presentation is then further realised through the comparison of the five sets of selected film adaptations with an emphasis on recording their differences and common features on the level of genre and themes, in the perspective of the narration (focalisation), in explicitness, in the capability of storytelling through images, and in the reconstruction of fictional worlds. A theoretical section, which defines basic terminology of the researched area and contains the case studies of the aforementioned five cases, also containing their realities, is an inherent component of the thesis. Through this method, it is possible to record movements of fictional worlds away from reality more effectively. With the use of the described analyses, a typology of film presentation of this phenomena was assembled, and the studies of relevant databases resulted in the description of...

Adámková, Denisa ; Marešová, Alena (advisor) ; Zoubková, Ivana (referee)
The Issue of an Offender's Personality in Criminology Serial killers The cardinal topic of this diploma thesis is an analysis of an offender's personality and the major focus is given on serial killers. Although the serial killer's personality is the main topic of the thesis, a significant part deals with a criminological, forensic psychological and legal theory, involving the explanation of the relevant legal terms. This diploma thesis aims to provide the reader a comprehensive overview of serial killers. The main goal of the thesis is not only to offer probable profile of the serial killer, but to introduce Czech and foreign expert findings into the context with the Czech law and jurisprudence as well. Also, the thesis aims to help the reader to perceive differences among serial killers, mass killers and spree killers, as these multiple killers are often confused. I present some real cases for better illustration of the issue. From the huge amount of serial killers, I have chosen the most interesting or the most recent ones. In the first chapter I explain the term offender. I distinguish the legal and criminological point of view. The cardinal topic of the second chapter is the offender's personality. The first part of this chapter is focused psychologically, nevertheless in the introduction I...
