In session we looked at a range of Different Approaches to experimental filmmaking which is in a way a sub category to the previous sub categories mentioned in my previous post.
Non Linear
Copy Shop by Widrich Virgil
The Straight and Narrow by Mathias Goklap
Personal View
Measures of Distance by Mona Hatoum
Abstract/Non Objective
Without You by Tal Rosner
Cameraless Film
A Colour Box by Len lye
Structural
Intervals - Peter Greenway
Found Footage/ Collage Film
Blue Monday by The Duvet Brothers
Alone Life Wastes Andy Hardy by Martin Arnold
Video Art
Video Film by Nam Paik
Of all the various styles I think that I prefer the ones taken from Non linear this is because it allows you more freedom to play around with the images whilst still having some form of narrative structural form. I particularly enjoyed Copy Shop because the ending was non conclusive or at least open to interpretation or guess work, which is one of my favourite affiliations with experimental film.
I did also like the Duvet Brothers Blue Monday, as collages do give a nice effect and allow you to play around with texture, imagery and colour especially as it is using archive footage, meaning that you don't always have a say of picture quality for example when you need to use a specific image.
I can't really pinpoint a specific form that I particularly disliked as though some may not have been to my taste each had a unique element that worked to its favour.
