Film Technique

I hope I'm not the only one who thought that the bunny was a guy...male bunnies can cook too, right? I thought this was a really cute short film, though. One of the big things I noticed was how the music changed with the mood; or did the mood change with the music? It did take me a little bit to realize that the oven represented death, and that it transformed into a portal to heaven. The bunny seemed drawn to it (like a moth to a light).

The first thing I noticed from the movie Northfork was how everything was very neutral - the colors, the music, even the set seemed pretty sparse. The mountains were always there in the background, though. One technique that I really liked was the double exposure with the buffalo. It was a nice comparison, since both the buffalo and the townsfolk of Northfork were driven from their home.

I noticed that with all of these film clips I notice the music first, and Paris, Texas was no exception. The scene that I remember well is where Travis is walking along the bridge over the highway. You can hear the crazy man talking about the end of world before you even see him, and as the shot gets closer to the man, the music gets more and more chaotic.

Speaking of music, Pink Floyd-The Wall was super...interesting. I've never seen it before and I didn't know what to expect, but I certainly wasn't expecting THAT. I need to watch the entire thing, because I did find it really compelling. I loved how the scenes kept switching from animated to live-action.
