everything turns by matt hattler

everything turns is a good video because it tells us about time , life and death which are three important things in life. the concept is not very modern, it is pretty basic but like i said the installtion piece is very effective because it tells us about important things in life. i think that the craft is stop motion even though the video was very short. but i beleive that this is clever becasue the creator puts his point across that time is runnig out. the film shows us about the harsh realties in real life and we can see this in the video. in one scene we can see a man turn to dust and when his dust is gone a tombstone appears.

MUTO - a wall painted animation by BLU

i personally think that MUTO is a brilliant animation and the concept and craft in this video is high. MUTO is wall painted animation by BLU and it is in stop frame animation, it is made up of 25 frames a second of wall painted art. in the end it is all put together in photographs to create an animation. the makers of this film had to work very hard because the craft is very high and it looks like it is done without a high budget production. i believe that the concept behind this video is rebirth and you can see this throughout all the scenes. a brilliant exaple of this is when insects come out of the creatures mouth and then they eat the creature. this shows the audience that after producing these insects the creature dies but the insects are now born. this is scene throughout all the scenes in different methods.

telling lies by simon ellis

telling lies is a brilliant experimental video, although it does not have a great craft behind it the concept is brilliant. the film shows a black screen throughout the whole video while picking out a couple of phone conversation about a drunken night out. the film is brilliant because rather than telling us what the characters where saying they where telling us what they where actually thinking. i think this video has is superb becasue it shows that people are'nt always truthful and a brilliant exaple of this is when the main characters mum call her son and she askes him what wrong he tells her that his girlfrind and him have just split up however on the screen he is thinking it is none of her business. this continues throughout the whole film and it shows that people dont actually speak about what really on thier mind. the concept to this film is brillaint because we can relate to it and because the craft is low rather than us thinking of the video we read the words on the screen instead.

Gisele Kerozene by jan kounen

Gisele kerozene is a short experimental film which is most likely a comic video. it does not have an obvious concept however it has a lot of craft and skill which makes it a good video. the video is based a a modern day city with 3 characters, each of these characters resemble witches are on the hunt for this small bird statue which is stolen by a fourth person. the 3 characters chase him on there brooms that have been modified. as they give chase through the streets the character who has stole the statue tries to kill off or escape the witches who are chasing him by zooming in and out of the city. the scenes have a brillaint technique as they are using stop frame animation which makes it look more comical. the audience do not get the concpet however it makes up for it with the craft and comedy. i think that this video shows that even though there is not a great concept behind this video it is still a good experimental film. i think that the concept is a little hard to get but it may have been that some poeple are greedy and they will do anything to have what they want. the sounds in the film where brillaint because it brought out the comcial side to the video.

chapter 3 narrative and non-narrative structures

a narrative structure is not always important but it also depends in which context the film is viewed. For example in a cinema,people are expected to sit throughout the whole film a narrative structure is important, so the audience can see that there is a clear beginning and end. this helps in a big way because the viewers can tell what the film is about and they can relate to the characters. non- narrative film structures are very useful in a place such as gallery or some public spaces. this is so people can walk into the film at whatever point and still be able to understand the concept and the story. for example in the Tate museum there was a film with no narrative structure called material gestures by Paul McCarthy and the film kept repeating itself on a television and it was played constantly. films with a narrative structure tend to emphasise the concept. both of these structures are really important.
