  • A director´s subtle control with different approaches for getting ac tors into the moment

    V průběhu mého studia režie jsem pochopila, jak pracovat ve spolupráci a vzájemném propojení různých aspektů a složek filmové tvorby, jež společně přispívají k vytváření úspěšných filmů. Po důkladné praktické analýze významných filmů a práce jejich tvůrců, s použitím vštípených znalostí vizuálních teorií, se jasně ukazuje, že filmová tvorba není zcela tak snadná, jak se na první pohled může zdát. Mým cílem je objasnit několik starších i současných technik režie v několika různých podobách. Konkrétně jsem se zaměřila na práci s hercem. Touto prací se pokouším prostřednictvým příkladů cvičení, popisů situací a různých technik, stejně tak jako praktických příkladů a jejich užití, pomoci režisérům s pochopením odlišných přístupů v práci s herci i neherci. Režisérova kariéra je provázena nespočtem překážek, ale za pomoci intuice a rozvinuté kvalitní techniky, může být režisér kvalitně připraven i na nečekané překážky.

    This thesis proposes to explore the ways in which Takeshi Kitano, a Japanese director and actor revealed in the 1990s with a golden lion for "Hanabi" in 1998, employs the motif of the sea as a poetic space in his cinema. The collapse of the Japanese studio system has led to the emergence of new kinds of authors, individuals with different, unconventional training, such as Kitano Takeshi. Born in an impoverished district of Tokyo, Kitano was the son of a house painter and a housewife. Successively, Kitano became a liftboy, a stand-up comedian, an actor, a man of television, and then moved on to directing in 1989 with Violent Cop. Although his films develop personal themes, aesthetics and a sense of editing, the author nevertheless inscribes himself in the continuity of Japanese cinema. The sea, as a foundational element of Japanese culture - Japanese mythologies make the sea the birthplace of its humankind - asserts itself as both the theater and the acting subject of his stories. By exploring the relationships he weaves between his cinema and extra-film elements (biographical elements, cultural paratexts), this thesis intends to demonstrate that the sea, far from being a simple decor for the plot, participates in a poetics of space specific to its author. By blending burlesque and drama, under the influence of the sea and the powers of his daydreams, Kitano exposes the vanity, inadaptibility and loneliness of a man cut off from his origins, from his childhood. Obsessive element of his plots, this relentless escape from the city to the sea gives the Kitanian hero an Sisyphean air. By blurring the boundaries between burlesque and drama, filmic and extra-filmic elements, Kitano interweaves this quest for origins with a return to childhood. This thesis intends to demonstrate that by acting in this way, Kitano weaves a continuous mesh that binds the subject to his environment, the artist to his land, the man in the sea. The importance of the milieu, of geography participates in the poetics of the artist and contributes to his formation.
  • Constructing Meaning: Metaphorical Frameworks in Cinema

    This thesis investigates how metaphor contributes to the thematic depth and viewer's understanding of cinema through a mixed methodology based on Aristotle's definition of metaphor. The study focuses on motion pictures by Hayao Miyazaki, Andrei Tarkovsky, and Béla Tarr concerning metaphorical concepts from Paul Ricoeur, theories of unconscious and dreams from Carl Jung, and interpretation of space by Gaston Bachelard. The results reveal that metaphor in cinema functions beyond semantic or systematic ornamentation. Metaphor is a transformative tool during the creative process, beginning with the filmmaker's preceding observation. Then, the viewer experiences metaphor through the perception of time and space within a film. As a result, new and broader meanings emerge as a moment of exchange between the filmmaker and the audience.
  • Fictional Truth: Use of Documentary Style to Create Truthfulness in Fiction films
    Gudrúnardóttir, Elísabet Elma
    (Akademie múzických umění v Praze.Filmová a televizní fakulta, 2021)

    This thesis examines the influence of documentary style on the truthfulness of two fiction films of the late 90s – The Celebration (1998) of Danish director Thomas Vinterberg and Rosetta (1999) or Belgian brothers Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne. These two films can be explored through their amount of realism in various form, whether realism is their specified goal or not. To shed light on the realistic tendencies of these films they will be analysed trough story content, acting, directing, cinematography, mise-en-scène, location choices, budget size, sound and editing. In addition, it is important to look at the chief points of the technological developments in documentary films and important earlier cinema movements to which these films share a resemblance. The Celebration was the first result of a movement, Dogma95, announced 3 years prior to the film’s release. Rosetta is a product of ‘Dardennian’ style developed from the directors’ move from documentary to fiction. Both films will be analysed through their dedication to their respective movements, Dogma and ‘Dardennian’ style, and both the films and the movements in accordance with documentary tradition.
  • Intertextuality in Jim Jarmusch’s Only Lovers Left Alive and Paterson

    The thesis is a study of intertextual relations between Jim Jarmusch’ films and other works of cinema and literature. The aim of the thesis is to analyze referential and typological intertextuality in two of Jarmusch’s movies, Only lovers left alive (2013) and Paterson (2016), by exploring direct and indirect connections to other texts. Jarmusch’s films are very dense with intertextuality, including allusions, quotations, calque and parody of genre clichés, which is done intentionally in order to influence and enrich an audience's interpretation of the ideas expressed in his films. I argue that exploring intertextuality in Jarmusch’s movies can contribute to better understanding of his messages to audience, especially his social commentaries, expressed in deep layers of the films.
  • The Finale in the Films of Bruno Dumont

    The thesis’s focus will be on the endings in the films of the French filmmaker Bruno Dumont. Dumont’s films throughout the years have had mixed reactions by audiences. This is partly due to the fact that in some ways his films tend to go against common expectations of narrative cinema. While discussing his thoughts on the relationship between his films and the audience, as well as the role of the spectator, Dumont stated that he does “not finish his own films”. Drawing from that statement the aim of this thesis is to explore how and why his films often end with an unresolved plot, unanswered questions or without an obvious dramatic resolution. Firstly by discussing classical theories of dramatic storytelling and how endings function within a dramatic structure. Following that it will move on to compare the way in which Dumont follows classical conventions of storytelling to the way he breaks away from those conventions, a way in which this thesis will argue lies mainly in the finales of his films. It will analyse reappearing elements in the endings of Dumont’s films, elements that substitute a more traditional resolution and can serve as a key for an interpretation of his films.

    This thesis seeks to analyze the representation of the youth in Lebanese cinema by exploring the sub-themes of different coming-of-age films made in Lebanon from the last decade and exploring how they are immediately connected to the country’s socio-political situation. It also explores the evolution of these coming-of-age films and stories over the years, because of the introduction of new shifts in Lebanese society. Finally, the thesis aims to paint an overall picture of the Lebanese youth and analyze the differences it has with the Western young generation.
