Film (Discussion work)

The paper i ended up with asked me what Robert Breer was trying to accomplish by you using quick images that didnt have any realevence to the narrative? What Breer was trying to accomplish like the person who answered the question on the paper was the by showing one image after another causes quick motion which is cinema. So, this film i believe fits into the cinema atmosphere because everything is coming at you one after another. The story may not make sense to you, but you must remember its up to the author if they want it to be understandable to everyone. Then someone on this piece of paper i have asked if Sue Friedrich's film was a narrative? The person responding saying it had a narrative by what you see through the shots that were being taken. To me i agree with that response to because that is the that person chose to get there point to the story across. The last question asked on my sheet of paper was what is the difference between a video diary and narrative? They said they really dont know. Well i somewhat i agree with that but i think they are kind of linked. I feel that by reading each day of the diary you will build a story up that will have a ending at sometime.

In conclusion, I feel that this information was interesting and i thought it was helpful for everyone to express how they felt on certain films. I believe its important to get an understanding of the meaning of a film you may not of understood well by being able to read some of the responses others wrote down about a certain film. I really thought this was a good discussion exercise today.
