Finale

In discussion today we talked about waiting. Hell, waiting sucks. The installation idea is really cool though. The possibility to put the image outside, looping and not having a beginning or a end. That idea got me going about a film where it has 4 or 5 different parts to it. I mean like a movie that has 3 different perspectives, if you watch all three you'll have the whole story, but if you just want the view of the buff guy, or the petite girl, or the rich guy, its all possible.
In my film 210 class, we have been focusing on perspective lately, the film The Birds to be specific. In many of the experimental films we see the perspective of the camera, but in D'est, the camera isn't feeling like the same old camera. I felt like a tourist in those country's, just waiting and watching while these people dissect me with their eyes. This film does a great job with time also. As with So Is This the filmmaker has the control of when we move on, there is no directed point where the camera moves on when its supposed to. Pretty sweet, but still a drifter, i found myself and the audience restless; I cant stress that enough.
