Ryan by Chris Landreth
Šafus, Martin ; PIXA, Libor (advisor) ; Horáček, Pavel (referee)
The thesis synthetizes traceable information about Chris Landreth’s partly biographical film Ryan, as well as summarizes events preceding and concerning its creation. In the second part of the thesis I analyze especially psychorealism that links to the personality of Chris Landreth, but lacks clearly formulated definition. The first part emphasizes information quality about the author Ryan Lrkin and understanding of circumstances of the film creation. In the second part I put the film through analysis and then search for analogies with other episodes. Using subsequent synthesis I search for new evidence. It results in an attempt to define psychorealism. In order to familiarize with artistic movements and their means it is essential to describe them theoretically and psychorealism waved spluttered in void. I intent to change it with this thesis.

Nguyen, Cam Van ; VANDAS, Martin (advisor) ; DĚCKÁ, Eliška (referee)
Animated documentary film is relatively a new genre, which is presently growing and becoming more popular. Simple definition of this genre is animated film with standard elements taken from documentary films. There is true confession, emotional strength, and unlimited borders, which animation provides. This growing sub-genre of animated film is asking existential questions. How does this kind of animated documentary film usually look? Almost everytime it is a topic of the stories from the real world, for example: topics of human rights, topics exceptional but also universal, which can be very easy to identify. This thesis is specifically focuses on the topic of personal confessions, that tell their own story. I also had to deal with this topic when I was doing my bachelor animated documentary film and at the end of it I summarize it with my personal evaluation and experiences.

ASMR
Stejskalová, Bára Anna ; POSPISZYL, Tomáš (advisor) ; PAVLÁTOVÁ, Michaela (referee)
ASMR is a phenomena, which tries to induce a feeling of a physical touch in the viewer. It is spread mostly on the Youtube platform. His creators are primarily amateurs, who pushed this sector from the most simple videos to the half-professional level through using professional technology (very sensitive microphones, 360° shooting, using googles for virtual reality). Elicit the physical response through flm could enrich the viewer´s experience from the piece. Yet, the ASMR remains in the underground. The goal of this thesis is to describe and analyse ASMR, compare it to audio-visual media production and ask a question, whenever it is possible to induce the physical responce, with the same principals, in the animation.

Erotica in a puppet animated film
Žák, Vojtěch ; DĚCKÁ, Eliška (advisor) ; Vaněček, Matěj (referee)
Eroticism and pornography in animated puppet film is a niche genre. Nevertheless, it deserves attention for its unique means of expression. The subject matter of this thesis is a reflection on the relationship between corporeality and the puppet in film. It also includes selected auteur independent films and their analysis, in which sexual behavior is the prevalent topic or which contain explicit erotic scenes.
The puppet functions as a representation of human body; specifically, within the context of this thesis, of the body in erotic situations. The body of the puppet becomes a representation of our own body. With the emergence of new technologies, we can become a representation of the puppet, which in turn becomes a puppeteer, an animator. The principle of identification with the main protagonist is essential for interpretation of the role and function of the puppet in film. One of the key instruments of interpretation of the role of the puppet in film and understanding its function in film. The chosen theme is accompanied by definitions of key terms and a brief overview of legislation concerning pornographic animated film.

Stylization of characters in animation
Sekela, Stanislav ; KLOS, Jan (advisor) ; KLIMT, Aurel (referee)
Abstraction (in meaning of simplification) and realism are opposites, which involve
certain specifics in the comprehensibility. Both directions have their options in
terms of dramatic clarity.
In this work I want to research the possibilities of character animation in relation
to the degree of descriptiveness of characters, from simple hyper-realistic.
Furthermore, in the context of the visual forms, what enables different kinds and
where are conversely its pitfalls.
In conclusion, I will specify my own approach to this problem and which direction
I prefer.
