Everything Turns - Max Hattler


http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/filmnetwork/A30031048

This is an experimental video which is a stop frame animation piece. It was made in 2004, it is a non dialogue piece and it is 1 minute long.

The concept of this video is that life makes your head spin, and before you know it, it's over. It is just about life and death. And anything that can happen can end it.

The video was inspired by Durs Grubein's poem Vertigo

Motto: "Unrelenting Bleakness" which means dazed and confused.

Eulogy for things left unsaid - Rob Chiu

http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/filmnetwork/A46701650
This experimental video is an emotional piece about the lose of something, reminiscing, regretting, the life you never lived and emptyness.
The concept of this video is what you did when you were younger as now that you are older you cannot go back to the places you've played, been to or what you use to call home. Everything has changed and all the regrets you had have changed and are now all in the past but you cannot forget.

Muto by Blu was made in 2006 it is a stop frame animation piece of work, it is a piece of street animation created by Graffiti. The use of stop frame gives the piece more of an effect as it flows well together.
The concept of the piece is the stages of life and death together and reincarnation. It shows this by moving images coming out of older drawings which are left on there and it shows how they can use each piece of the work to give an effect on the concept itself.


Khoda - Reza Dolatabadi

Chapter Six

When people look at a piece of art, every person that See's it all have a different reaction to it because they see it in different ways depending if they like the look of it. Different reactions can vary from people seeing it in a good way and looking at it and analysing it. But with other reactions it can depend on the mood of the person because you could look at it then be bored after 60 seconds and move onto another piece.

If the art was placed in a different place rather than a gallery such as the Tate Modern and it was in a place such as Tesco's it would not attracted people like a normal gallery would, also if it was in tesco's the reaction would be that the piece of art is in a weird place, or shouldnt even be there because its in a shopping store.

A reaction to a piece of does matter because people that see it in a good way will say to people that enjoying seeing art that it is a piece worth going to look at which like promotes the piece to earn more reputation in the art world.

I think that it is important that the audience have one interpretation because it shows that people see in art in a different way to others. If everyone had the same interpretation it wouldnt make the art what it is because art is meant to have an effect on different people not just the same effect everytime someone looks at it.

Chapter Two

The use of technology nowadays has increased so much over the past 20 years, because of the use of computers, gaming consoles and video camera's it has increased the ways we create stuff in the world today and how to work things around the globe. Technology years ago was no where near as complex and high tech as it its now.

The use of technology when it was first brought in properly such as computers and high tech camera's in 1980's, Film and Media started to become so much more popular than it was back in the 1930's, when the first revolution of film was ever made. Technology comparing from now to atleast the 1930's is used differently and the way people use it, such as techniques used now are editing, using special effects and adding sounds.

Technology to people back in the 1980's was new because they had never seen a proper computer screen and used it to search the internet, or played on a proper games console with graphics they would of believed amazing. In the 1920's/30's technology also would of been new because seeing a piece of film which they had never seen before would of caught the eye of most people that were in the world at that time.

Chapter Three

In a narrative piece of art there is a more simple structure because you are getting told the beginning, middle and end. The simple structure of a narrative can get quite repetitive because knowing what is going on too much can ruin it for the person who is trying to figure out the plot/story of the piece.

In an Non-Narrative structure it is more complex and knowing what you think about it not what someone is saying about it. The non-narrative structure is different to a normal beginning, middle and end because you don't know when that is you figure it out yourself which makes the art more interesting.

With a Non-Narrative you can just look at it for a minute and see what is happening then move onto the next piece but with a Narrative piece you have to keep watching to know what is happening so sitting there and watching when you could be wanting to see another piece of art.

Chapter One

The Two videos that we watched were Doll Face and Girl Chewing Gum. The two of these videos have different similarities from each other.

Doll Face created by Andy Huang the video showed a blank face with no make up or anything to show it was a normal human which was controlled by a robotic box in a jack in the box style. A tv shows up and shows a face like a normal girl/woman with make up. The robotic doll copies exactly how the television looks. Then the tv moves further back and the robot pushes itself to get that far and it does and copies the face again but with different make up on and has eyes. The last part shows the television which keeps changing channel and the doll trys to reach and copy it but its too far for it to go because the robotic part of it can not move any further so the doll cannot copy what the t.v shows. The doll trys as hard as it can but doesnt succeed and the robotic arm falls to pieces. The video is to show that beauty becomes naturally not what someone else looks like.

Girl Chewing Gum by John Smith is a video which is post narration but you dont know that until the end of the piece of video. This video has alot of craft but hardly no concept because its just a pre-recorded piece of film but he has narrated over it. The craft in the piece is that he says everything at exactly the same time as the people that show on the screen to act as if he is there and knowing exactly hat they are going to do. The context of this piece is that you think he is just speaking to them as a director but then he admites hes 15miles away in a field.

My Experimental Video (Chapter 5)

An idea for my video that i think i will be confident with will be me doing football tricks and mixing tricks from fifa 10 a football game on the xbox 360. This is to show the realism of games and how they make the movement of the players as real as a normal player would.

I got this idea from a video i saw on youtube, where it showed the same thing but using animation to do it not an xbox game. But i think using a game to show the realism will give a message across that technology nowadays has advanced in gaming and film its self.

Most of my idea is from the love of football i have and enjoying football games on the xbox 360, this idea will hopefully give some background view on what i believe have changed nowadays.
