They were:
1. A Colourbox
Very colourful, music is also colourful. Abstract with lots of patterns.
The writing towards the end, is in stencil writing.
It is about the postal service, maybe it is an advertisement. Very random
2. Dog Star Man
Very random, there are lots of different images.
Some of the film is in negative.
There is no soundtrack, which makes the film seem eerie.
There are lots of pictures of snowflakes. There is mostly footage of a baby.
Sometimes two or more pieces of footage are overlapped. It is very abstract.
It is quite fast paced and there are lots of flashing images.
3. Scorpio Rising
Mostly footage of a man working on what looks like a motorbike.
The title of the film is printed on the back of the man's jacket. There are also lots of different soundtracks.
The second soundtrack, the lyrics 'wind me up', relate to the footage where it shows something being wound up.
The title is mentioned in different ways throughout the film.
There is lots of footage of skulls and skeletons.
4.The Big Shave
There are lots of close-ups of bathroom at the start.
Lots of close-up shots throughout.
The man cuts himself many times, he doesn't seem to realise he's doing it.
Lots of shots of blood going down the sink.
5. La Region Centrale
Soundtrack is weird. It's not actual music, like an alarm.
Mostly shots of landscape, shots spin around.
6. Fuzzbox
Lots of shots of tapes shown throughout the film.
Soundtrack is modern and upbeat.
There are lots of references to sex through inanimate objects, builds up throughout.
Surreal
Inanimate objects brought to life.
7. Berlin Horse
Film is in negative at the beginning.
Some of the footage is blurry, which makes it seem dreamy. Also the soundtrack sounds dreamy.
Very repetitive.
Lots of colours towards the middle of the film, very surreal.
There seems to be a fire towards the end, people running out of the building with horses.
We then did some research on one of the short films we watched. We chose to do some research on the film 'Scorpio Rising'.
We found out that the director, Kenneth Anger was actually gay, and this is shown in 'Scorpio Rising' with the young guys, dressing themselves in their biker outfits. Kenneth Anger also did the screenplay, photography and the editing of his film.
Also today, we got into the pairs we are going to work in for this project and came up with some ideas for what we might do. I am going to work with Alison Murphy on this project and we came up with two suitable ideas which we think may work.
The first idea, is that we could combine musical performance and photography, and make it similar to the short film we watched, 'Dog Star Man'. We had the idea of taking some footage of someone playing a piano and then cut to different shots of other things, which don't actually link in with the piano in any way. The risks with this idea, are that it may not work out how we have planned.
The second idea we came up with, is to maybe have someone painting, on a pavement. This has several risks, such as it may offend members of the public or different cultures, and the police may not like it either.
