Koyaanisqatsi (Life Out Of Balance)

This full length movie is 80minutes created by Godefry Reggio with a massive budget.
The movie was created in 1982 and the music was done by Phillip Glass.
The images in this piece show the world we live in. But when it shows fire it plays with your mind as to what this is. Howether shortly after it lets you know that it is a rocket done in close-up shots which later explodes. Different kinds of music are used for each scene as the scenes get faster the music dramatically changes.
The Koyaanisqatsi experience is very much non-diagetic.
With no people talking in the whole of the movie creates something completely different to what we are all used to.
It is really about the world we live in and what can go wrong.
