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.

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.

A film poem of the ordinairy
Hálová, Nicole ; Brdečková, Tereza (advisor) ; DOLENSKÝ, Martin (referee)
,,Every work is issued from a script that the artist projects onto culture, considered the framework of a narrative that in turn projects new possible scripts, endlessly."
The thesis focuses on the reception of the film "Brief encounter" (1945) in it's historical context, as well as on different approaches to film specific storytelling techniques, and film narration itself, through analysing different adaptations of Noël Cowards one-act play "Still life".
The referential framework would be the reception of this film in post-war Czechoslovakia, where the film was thoroughly analysed by film critics. The opinions of the reviewers to the film at this time, when they were calling for a more "filmic" cinematography, were often divided. The same can be said about the somehow disconcerted reception of the audience.
By comparing the various sources available from the specified period of
time and taking the cultural and social context into account, I would like to
come to an understanding not only of the general stance of the film critique in
Czechoslovakia at the time, but also the audience, their relationship to this
critique and to film in general.
I would especially like to use the reviews of Jiří Brdečka, whose texts reflected
films and the cultural background in the time of the nationalized cinema.
I will not be focusing on the narrative alone, but on its cultural and social relations, which is reflected on the transformation of the story into film language.
By comparing the original theater screenplay and the film script then translated to film language, I will try to analyze the specific dramaturgic methods used, focusing especially on the subjective monologue, which acts as an essential storytelling technique in Leans adaptation. Further on I compare David Leans adaptation to the "Brief encounter" remake by Alan Bridges.
This analysis should help understanding how the film was accepted at its time and should reveal what the audience and reviewers expected from such a film, may it be regarding the narrative, the formal side of the film, choice of actors and the theme itself.
The main goal of the reviewers of the time was to help the audience understand film. The goal of my thesis is to also understand the audience, to which these critiques where addressed.
