Analysing The Experimental

The short experimental film that I have chosen to analyse is Pencil Face by Christian Simmons.
I enjoyed it because of the ever present feeling of something going wrong, despite the positive outcomes that the girl had in mind. The music was very effective in helping to but you on edge and that and the picture itself more than made up for the non use of dialogue.

I also looked at a few other Experimental videos Including

The Solipsist by Andrew Huang

What stood out to me the most in this piece was the use of colour as well as the way that you were transitioned from one element to another.

Hurricane by Bartholomew Cubbins


Thirty Seconds To Mars - Hurricane (Uncensored Version) HD from Pedro Pestana on Vimeo.

This music video by 30 Second To Mars is one of my favourite because it manages to explore a whole abstract narrative form whilst still maintaining the key music video elements. The picture and the break up of the actual some allow you to be pulled into the story world as you follow each of the three protagonists and latch on to their various unconnected story lines. The poetry element and use of another language help to tie up the piece which I felt helped to give it that elemental touch.
