Chapter Five - Experimental video ideas

My video idea is to film me fishing with the calm and tranquil scene but then as soon as i catch to see and hear the busy scene of the rods screeching off, and keep repeating it.
The concept behind this idea is the contrast between quiet and loud/busy like the calmness of the lake with the birds flying around and the odd fish jumping out of the lake then when i catch a fish the bite alarms go off and the reels are letting out a load of line.

My idea was inspired by the film koyaanisqatsi because i quite like the way there is no acting.

Koyaanisqatsi review

Visual Images
To start there is tribal paintings on cave walls with non diagetic chanting of koyaanisqatsi. Throughout the film there is big explosions of buildings.
There is very slow motion camera shots and very fast shots aswell.
When it shows the grand canyon and then the big cities, it is trying to show the difference between two things.

Audio
The music is all non diagetic, either soundtracks with good beats or a man chanting "koyaanisqatsi". The music ties in with the images like when it's slow motion then you have got slow music.

Concept
The concept is a big balance of opposites and contrast e.g. Violent but with calm music, New and old people and buildings, fast and slow camera shots.

My Thoughts
My thoughts of the film is that it's very boring and i would not buy it because there was no acting and just images with a little bit of background music it's not exciting in any way.

Chapter 4 - The use of space creates meaning.

Where a piece of art is shown can change the meaning of that particular piece, the actual art hasn't changed but the importance has. For example a piece by Vincent Van Gogh is placed in an art gallery you feel differently about it if it was placed in the street because it has lost its importance and could be seen as irrelevent.

When i was at the tate modern art gallery there was a piece of "art" by Paul Mc Carthy called Material Gestures in a dark room with a sign out side saying that there is sexual images inside which made us aware and curious of what is inside. Every one watching the sick videos was quiet but their reactions once leaving the room looked disgusted and surprised. The room it's self was only lit by the projectors used to show the videos, they were shown on three of the four walls with only a little space for people to see the "art".

Doll Face - Andy Huang

The concept of Doll Face is that the audience watching the t.v. are trying to copy the person on tele by wearing the same make up as them, this could be like the doll is getting more confidence the more make up she puts on and comes further out of the box. The craft of this video is that it's a computer animated short film. When the t.v. moves too far away she crashes and dies because her dreams were shattered.
