Responses to Experimental films

Roots

Makes me think of the desert.  Lots of circular objects with a similar pattern- like the inside of an orange.  Also a spinning wagon wheel, and the sun with its rays going in all directions.  Opening and closing boxes kind of like windows or sinkholes.  Kinda makes me thirsty but I was thirsty before class so that may not be a direct effect of the film.  Birds flew out of what looked like the sun so it was totally a desert; they were vultures.


Scratch Film Junkies

I like the intro- readable but glitchy/skipping.  Contemporary music- grungy video- scratched over real life film.  Ended up paying more attention to the music than I did the video, trying to think of what band it was.  Cool distorted footage of a kid with a camera?  Made it seem like a growing-up story or something.  I like the scratching out around the guy's head so it looks sort of disembodied.  Odd that I only really remember the parts with human faces.  I think I was still thinking of the "Roots" video throughout most of this one.
