The 3 videos i have chosen to look at are Koyaanisqatsi directed by the famous Godfery Reggio. The second one is The Girl Chewing Gum directed by John Smith. The other movie is an extremely strange piece by Jan Kaunen called Girsele Keronze.
These movies relate to one another even though they are directed in completely different years. They all begin by making you the viewer try to work out what is going on in the movie. As each piece moves on you realise what is happening.

In Koyaanisqatsi it shows many different experimental art works when it was created in 1986 with the complete idea behind the movie is to show you what it is like in the world we live in with no plot.

When you look at the girl chewing gum it shows you although it did not have a huge budget it creates an interesting style of work with the use of close-up angles making the work more interesting to view. The premise of the work is to show you that although it appears something is going on it is just everyday life. The voiceover creates an effect.

Girsele Keronze was an odd piece but it does use great amounts of colour the sound effects added in are not realistic but it makes the video a comedy piece of work. The main premise is showing a broomstick race between two strange looking witches to drive the audience into a comedy video.
