Comparison Experimental Video

Unit 34: Producing Video and Installation Work


· Task 1.
In this task I will compare these experimental video: the girl chewing gum, Koyaanisqatsi, 1001 Nights, Telling Lies by Simon Ellis and Luc Bourdon the Story of Feniks and Abdullah (1988).

·
Discuss both past and current artists and works (200 words)
Discuss the artists you have looked at comparing general similarities and differences between them. Not your own opinions!


The koyaanisqatsi (October 4, 1982) experimental video was longer than the girl chewing gum as it has been made in1976. The girl chewing gum has lots of narration as the koyaanisgatsi has barely any narration. Compared to the koyaanisgatsi the girl chewing gum was really easy to produce because of the lack that it was made in 1976. The works of Godfrey Reggio express a particular texture and style in his film as a result it did make me feel dizzy like your brains don’t know what’s real. The girl chewing gum had that style of black and white which reflect the history of film when did it begin. Also the girl chewing gum (1976) illustrate in the film with non-diagetic sound even so you could tell where the sound was coming from. The black and white work of John Smith demonstrates lots of camera movement and lots of object in the frame. John Smith was trying to Make the audiences believe that he was telling to the people what do in his Shot. As a result John smith shows how the media can controls people’s life. The koyaanisquatsi work shows the beginning and end of life as well girl chewing gum but koyaanisquatsi had sophisticated shot and speed as you could see object, cars, people and many more things moving faster.

John you need a lot more focus with your writing. You need to rework this sentence "video was more speed up film". Please be careful that you don't make statements without backing them up with facts. I.e that the "film was expensive". How do you know this?
