Reflections - artists evaluation

"La jetée" by Chris Marker

I like that this film used photographs to tell the story. It was kind of like watching an animatic story board. 
Even though it used images rather than videos it still managed to capture the emotion and tell a story. 

"Blue" by Derek Jarmans

I thought this film was interesting, i like the voice over as it was quite calming, which i was i associate with the colour blue. I also like the use of additional sounds as it aloud the  viewer to feel like they are with the character and imagin there own visuals eg " i step of the kerb and a cyclist knocks me down  *  you hear a bike and him shout *   "   when i herd this i pictured my self stood on a rood and a cyclist coming past. 

i like the idea of colours being able to represent things and maybe could base my project on this. 

"Dial H-I-S-T-O-R-Y" by Johan Grimonprez

i didnt like this film. I felt  there was too much information going on in this film for me to understand what was going on.  I felt the visuals told a good story but combine with the random music and the voice overs and the chopyness of it it was to much to focus on and bored me. 

“Radar” by Volker Schreiner

I like this film as the way it was edited and the audio managed to give off an creepy feeling. 

i liked the style of how this was done and want to look into it further . 


"The Five Obstructions" by Jørgen Leth and Lard Von trier
i like the idea of setting limitations  on what you can and cant do in a film, i think this would be somthing interesting to try out. 

Bruce Naumann

He was crazy ... but in a good way. 

Sam Taylor-Wood

I like the way sam  presented her work. I like  the piece where there were 4 videos playing next to each other but the audios kind of intermingled.  I think  i might look into that style more and  maybe use it in my project. 


The Conquest of Happiness" by Oliver Pietch

I like this film  as i thought it was edited together really well, and flowed nicely making it not feel long or boring to watch.
