Chameleon! Tina Gonsalves

Chameleon was art that we saw in Brighton,
Chameleon is made by peoples faces on a screen that made reactions when you did something in the camera. I didn't really enjoy it that much. most of the time it didn't work, I like the thought of it making expressions of how you were feeling but some of it was over acted and most of the people looked sad so it felt like a game that you had to make them smile.

Tina Gonsalves was the woman who created it, it must have taken a long time to think of the idea when i first saw it I thought there was people up stairs who was being filmed and watching peoples reactions.

The way I think of how they done it was they got a load of people to do some reactions on camera and someone did ones to the people and told them to do a reaction so when someone Else done it they would do the same one.

Gisece Kerozene

Gisece Kerozene was created in 1989
The film was made by stop framing, in the film there are 4 witches chasing each other on broom sticks, the film is quite gory with death and blood into it but also funny at the same time.

The film that was done in France was done by stop framing when the witches were flying in the air they had to jump then take a photo. the film is also speed up to make it not so long and to look better.
the film would have taken a few months to make.

In this film there are 4 witches and three of them are praying to there god and the other witch steals it and they go flying around, the film has some good humor for the audience like they fly past super man. the film does not have much of a basic story line it is mainly random,

Doll Face! by Andy Wang

Doll face was created by a guy called Andy Wang,

doll face is about a robot who is fixed on looking like someone she is not
by a picture of a woman on the TV.
as the film goes on the robot puts make up on her to seem more real and look like the woman on the TV.

the film was created by animation by computer and they use blue or green screening to use her face. this would have taken a few months to make, in animation it takes a long time because you also need to build the model so you know the basics, in this film there is not a lot in the back ground just a box. when the box opens a robot comes and an looks at the TV

i think Andy Wang is trying to show how people want to look like people they are not.
on the TV it shows other things going on in the background but the robot does not notice she just wants to see the face so she can try and look like her.
as this happens the TV moves away and she tries to get closer.
in the end she cant reach what she is trying to be.

i think Andy Wang puts this in because people are trying to be people there not and the reason why she is a robot is because other people are being controlled by people.

Girl chewing gum! John Smith

Girl chewing gum was created by John Smith in 1976 Girl chewing gum is a video of a guy narrating people in the street. How the video is done is that someone filmed the street or it was already filmed and John Smith was talking over it.

This then makes people think that he is standing there telling people to do stuff. there is also an alarm in the back ground that has been put on to go with on of the characters. some of the stuff he said was to quick and it would happen five minutes later.

at the end of the film he explained were he is in a field and there is a bird in the tree. this can confuse the audience to think is he spying on people. In the end u find out that the people in the video are not acting just showing off in front of the camera which makes the film more interesting. i think that this video took time to make because i think they had to choose which film they wanted to use. The film is also likes its tricking the audience but you dont find till later that its not real.

chapter 2

Girl chewing gum was made in 1976 with no colour cameras even tho there technology was not as good as today's they could still add a sound track on the back ground.

Doll face was created in 2006 its animation of a robot the technology is good now you can do it whit out using a camera but with a computer even the sound effects is good, Doll face would have taken time to make but girl chewing gum took longer.

with girl chewing gum they used a Sony DV-2400 Video ROVER Portapack Camera, which was really expensive to buy and to make the film
with doll face it didn't take much money to spend.

with doll face even tho it is used by animation it still looks real from the technology they have used, with girl chewing gum even tho the technology is not as good as today's its still good how they made it in 1976.

chapter 3

A narrative film has a story line that in it like Koyaanisqatsi which has a story to it like nature and man made things. films that have a narrative are normal films that you see in the cinema but films that are in an art gallery people don't watch the end they watch for a few minutes and leave.
A non narrative is a film like moto which did have a story line so the people could think of the story line themselves. some non narrative can go on for a while and some narrative films have to have an ending

chapter 6 what the audince think

Many people who watch experimental video can have many reactions to the video
depending on what there watching.
Some of the experimental videos can be real life and show bad things in the planet like Koyaanisqatsi which can effect people into recycling.

or a film like Gisele Kerozene dir which can freak people out or make people laugh.
Its important to get a reaction because if you made a scary film and people look scared that means that your film has effects, same with comedy, thriller, etc.
it is important that people have effects when they are wathing a film.if no one had reactions when watching videos then there would be nothing people could watch and enjoy.

if you have to people watching a film and one person thought the film was funny and the other person thought it was not funny, if there was a whole load of people watching a film then every body would think the same. if you watch a film by yourself you dont take notice of any thing but when your with other people you take notice of the film.

my ideas chapter 5

I have lots of ideas for my experimental video.
I would like to make the film by taking pictures like the film Gisele Kerozene dir. but do it different by using play doh or something else.
i would like to use animals or people in my video.
I'm not sure what i want my film to be based on.

in my video i might have to people fighting over things and one falls off the table, the film can be based on sharing things or if i do an animal one then i can make it about the environment.
the film will be made shot by shot and it will take a couple of weeks to make only for a three minute video.
sound effects will be put on the video some will be from the computer and some will be made by me.
