    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.
  • Blue Kitano

    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.
  • Fictional Truth: Use of Documentary Style to Create Truthfulness in Fiction films

    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.

  • 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.
