Similarities and Differences Between Current and Past Artists

I am going to be comparing the similarities and differences between Koyaaniskatsi and Telling lies. There are many differences in the two clips due to certain things like dialogue. The dialogue in Telling Lies is all from people whilst in the Koyaaniskatsi video there is strictly no speech at all. There is also a lot of difference when it comes to background music. The background music in the Koyaaniskatsi video is consistent from what i saw and there is no gaps of no music. However, in the Telling Lies video there is no background music of any kind. One of the similarities between the two videos is that they are both diagetic and also, they are both to do with humans, e.g. the two of them are to do with where humans live and where they go etc. Another Difference is that i feel they both had a different meaning to them. I feel like Koyaaniskatsi was glamourising the earth as it was and i feel that Telling lies was to show that you could see people lying without having to see their facial expressions. I also saw that one similarity between the two was that there was both text in the videos. However, there was only one piece of text shown in the Koyaaniskatsi video which is the title whilst in the Telling lies video the whole video is showing text about what the people are saying or thinking.

Review On 'koyaaniskatsi'

The 'Koyaaniskatsi' video inmy opinion is very boring! I think that it was too much about the same thing and it was too slow or too fast to fully understand what was happening. I personally think that the music in the clips i saw went very well with the videos.

Review On 1001 Nights

The '1001 nights' video has a very distinctive style to it. The reason i feel it has a distinctive style is because it is very negative in 5 different ways about the war. The video has 5 different ladys heads where they are telling their story of what happened with them in the war. However, i i think that it was not their own story and i think that they had read it out from someone elses experience. i think this due to the fact that when they were talking they were talking about bein shot in Iraq yet all of the people were english. The only way they could have been involved with that war is if they were from Iraq or if they were American.

2 Top Videos

The 2 movies i enjoyed most was:

• Telling lies
• Jan Kounen

The reason i liked the 'telling lies' video was because it made me laugh in some cases, and it had a very good idea to it, the audio on that video was non-diagetic but this made me picture how the person was saying it and why he was saying it. The reason behind the video in my opinion was to show people lying in a different way to just seeing their facial expressions.

The 'Jan Kounen' video was enjoyable to watch because of the way i found out it was made. The way the video was made was by using 'stop frame' animation. The audio they used was made to look like it was diagetic but was actually non-diagetic.

Representing

These two pictures show two different sides of a seaside resort. The picture showing the seagull is representing a more positive side to the seaside by showing a hot summers day and a calm current to the sea, it also gives us the impression that the seagull is relaxed and is not worried by anything due to the fact that the picture is very near to it. The other picture shows us a more darker/negative side to the to the seaside by showing us a picture of something that could be representing a youth mugging a man or starting a fight with him. By having the picture in a silhouette sort of effect it gives us a dark negative vibe.

What Is Experimental Media?

Hello,

my name is Henry and i will be giving you my opinion on what experimental media is.

i personally see experimental media as being something to do with videos and photography. With the word 'experimental' in it, it shows us that it has something to do with changing and annalysing something to do with videos and photography. I also see certain aspects in the media area to be seen in the experimental media area aswell, with such things as:

montages
showreels
editing pictures or videos
