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.
