Thoughts on March 5 films

This weeks films had a lot to do with seeing things through a projection booth, also through 2 frames on top of each other and following the camera as it moves and gives you different views of an image. I think these films were good resources for showing how your eyes work and understanding what you see from looking at something with two viewing frames on top of each other like in the film called Performist artist. The undeveloped eye really makes you stay focused and in away you can see those hallucinations that your seeing on the screen be going on in your head also. The film i thought was the strangest was by Brant Coconnor in which we observed pounding noises coming from the left side of the screen and then to the right side of the screen. I was having trouble understanding the point to this film until i saw images which were a boy on a bike and them showing the woods, and people on a roller coaster ride. I think this film was showing someone relieve their past and show us some of the things they have experienced in life. It also my be how they feel about there life they might think that they are always on the move like a bike or always have lots of ups and downs like a roller coaster. I thought these films used the camera well and these films really dealt with the topic of camera obscuras which we are now starting to learn about in class and will be learning more about it next week.
