Chapter 1

In Doll Face by Andy Huang, it all seems computer animated, high tech and modern. There is a woman that looks like a robot and sees something on TV, the TV eventually goes away from her and she crashed down to the floor. This is basically saying that the Modern generation need to stop copying what they see on the TV because eventually they will all rot away. No one can ever copy anyone because everybody is different. This means that nothing has changed since the video the girl chewing gum, which is basically trying to make the same point. He films a street with people walking along the road and he pretends to direct it, he eventually reveals that he isn't directing what the people are doing and he is infact in a feild 20 miles away from the place that he is filming. Also the video Koyannisquatsi made by a russian director says something to people along those lines. These three videos are vastly different and each of them were filmed in 3 different areas. They all mean the same thing but show it in different ways. Koyaanisquatsi was very differnet for it's time and radically changed the way people watched videos and movies. It wanted to be different and really push the boundaries. Each of the three different videos are like this, they all push the boundries in a unique way. Doll Face is the only animated video of the three and the most up to date, Girl chewing gum is the oldest video out of the three. Koyannisquatsi is 2 hours long and has an operatic sound track, Doll Face also has a soundtrack which adds more of an emotional effect on the film than The Girl Chewing Gum does. The Girl Chewing gum is the least emotionally effective of the three, yes it is effective and thought provoking, but in a different way.
