In my thesis, I explored theoretical perspectives on pure and impure film, with a special
emphasis on the issue of film realism.
In the theoretical part, I delved into the works What is Cinema? (Bazin) and Notes on
Cinematography (Bresson), I analyzed their key aesthetic and philosophical emphases. The
central research question was focused on examining how to approach realism in film in practice
and in which cases the approaches of both directions are most justified or effective. I paid special
attention to the issues of framing, frame duration, use of cuts, and the level of manipulation in
post-production. On this basis, I concluded that Bazin and Bresson, despite their apparent
differences, are not necessarily in opposition, but rather develop different but complementary
visions of film realism.
In the practical part, I presented the entire production process of my short film Noesis; from the
initial idea and script creation, through the creation of the storyboard, the choice of framing and
filming, to the creation of the sound image and the final editing. Analyzing my own practice
allowed me to reflect and verify theoretical starting points throughout the creative process.
