Assesment 3: Engagement

1.    Explain the following:

 ·        In film, the audience is hooked within minutes, usually seconds... how does film do this?

In film, the engagement is by stablishing shots in the opening or in the first few seconds/minutes. It can be with the characters, the location, a bit of the story behind or the cinematography.

·        Give two examples of outstanding opening sequences from films, and describe how the directors: orientates the audience and establish key information.

 ·        Volver (2006), Pedro Almodovar:

The movie starts with a long shot going to the left showing women in a cemetery cleaning the graves of their deceased husbands. The camera stops in a family of just women where is Penélope Cruz.  They introduce in a few seconds what happened to the parents of the two sisters, why there are many women in that cemetery, Raimunda’s way of thinking and make the audience wonder about her husband.

·        Die Welle (2008), Dennis Gansel:

There is a man in a car singing Rock and Roll High School by The Ramones on his way to work as a teacher. We see him from being driving to his destination to walking through the high school. We can already see that he is no a conventional teacher. He is more what students would define as cool. The soundtrack, the way he dresses and how the students say things to him give us some clues. In my opinion, the fact that in the song it says “Well I don't care about history”, it is one of the most important clues. As the movie talks about how history is important for not to make the same mistakes. In this case, it is authoritarianism.

Progress Shots of editing.

Difficulties include separating the two individual video files. The only way to do this is to create 2 projects and ensure they are timed perfectly, so it creates this ‘conversation’ effect in which we wish to project in our installation during class.

Food art

The below image is of sculptures made by Jim Victor. Jim uses large slabs of frozen butter to carve life sized figures out. The butter is frozen when he creates the art to prevent to from melting. This artwork is inspiring and has helped push my group to consider unconventional ways of using food and how we could present this in an unusual way.

The concept behind glitch art and how it works:

The reaction to a glitch is usually annoyance however numerous ratites are using the idea of glitch to explore and highlight prevalent issues within our society. Glitches are often the product of manipulation or malfunctions which can be by accident or man made

Glitch art has increased its prevalence in recent years because as a society we have adopted higher form or technology and it is become an integral part of our everyday life. The are numerous ways to make glitch art and some processes are much more intensive and time consuming than others.
