changes made to 2,3,4 and 6

2. The use of technology and techniques and styles (100 Words)
How does the use of technology differ think about when they where made was the technology new then.

Koyaaisqatsi was made use footage from library and adding non diegetic music over the top. And used other modern day editing methods and the style has influenced a lot of modern day programs and computer games e.g. the Simpson’s, scrubs and grand theft auto four. But 1001 night used diegetic sound because you can see the where the sound is coming from. Gisele kerosene uses non diegetic sound because it was made use stop animation. The girl chewing gum was film in black and white because colour film was expensive in the 70s and using non-diegetic sound but there is some part of the film that you can see where the sound is coming form. But the sound is added later on. The director is not being hide the camera and telling the people in the shot what to do. He is describing what people and the object are doing. By dubbing his voice over the film. In some part of the film he purposely doesn’t get it right. You can tell when the film where made because of the picture quality is a lot clearer in the film made today dew technology being more advance then one made in the 70s and 80s.


3. Narrative and non-narrative structures (100 Words)
Discuss the story line is it simple structure Begin, middle, end or is there a more complex or different structuring happening?

1001 night has five short stories in the film but they are all about the same topic a female villager out look on war. Each of the five stories has the same sort of begin middle and end. They are all about what the women watching what happen to there village, how they acted to what happened and they overcome the lost of someone important to them the video has a very anti war concept to it and make it clear by use very detailed accounts of war. Gisele Kerosene story line isn’t as series compared to 1001 night. The basic story line is some takes something impotent to a group of people and they chases him throw the town, one by one they crash in to building in the town and in the end the man give the item back he stole form them. 1001 night I think has more of a story line to Gisele kerosene because it gives you an In side to someone life from a different coacher and how they deal with what is going on around them. Where as Gisele kerosene has no mean and is just for entertainment.


4. The use of exhibition space to create meaning (100 Words)
How does the exhibition space change the meaning of the work. To be done later next week.

The space that the video is viewed I thinks make change the meaning of the video. If you where to watch it in a classroom the audience might find it boring and not want to pay attention but if they where to watch it at home the might have a different upon and chooses to watch it again for their own enjoyment. And depending on how many people are in the room could change the meaning of the work. They might be pressured in to saying that they didn’t enjoy it. Also that many change the meaning of the video is how it is view. Weather it viewed on projector or on a t.v screen. With a projector your can have different colour filter a good example of this is “psi girls” by Susan hiller, which use five projector each with a different colour filter and has five different video. The five video change to a different colour filter, this give off a different impression with each filter.


6. Audience, and audience interpretation of the work (200 Words)
was the reaction different within the group? Does this matter? Is it important that we all have one interpretation?

1001 night I think made it audience think about what is going on in Iraq and other places like it And it gives the audience a good inside in to people lives. I notice when we watch it in the lesson every one in the lesson was quite and no one spoke till we where ask to and all the comment about the film where serious. Telling lies I don’t think it was meant to be funny but the audience found it funny because the wording on the screen went what he was saying. And the film Gisele kerosene had the same sort of reaction as telling lies. I think the audience like it because of what happen to the characters in the chase scene. Girl chewing gum I think the audience was confused with the film because of the sound and what was going on to words the end when the director started to talk about the people and where they came from and what they are doing. Doll faces the audience knew what the mean to the video was, which was how everyone try’s to be like the people on t.v and in magazines and some people put them self at risk by doing it. I don’t think it matter if the audience has a different message than what the artist has, as lone as they take something important about what soar away from the after the viewing film.
