Anthony- Errol Morris- Documentary series called first person. one analyzed is about Antonio Mendez master of disguise called The Little Gray Man. used technique where put camera right in subjects face so it looks like he's talking to the viewer. created devise that let subject and filmer see each other during interview called inter-atron. Going with title, background is completely gray and he is wearing all black to make nothing stand out, he is little gray man because nothing is very noticeable. supposed to be in first person but there are many shots that contradict that. side shots, off center shots, pulled out shots. dates are kept ambiguous except for laos 1971. so nothing to nail this man down with because is all ambiguous and open. (more gray man). Mendez is constant source of information, like spies he is the source.

Kelsey- Pierre Huyghe- No Moment- video where nothing happens. Room and music do not go together. Lights are indicator of time, gets slowly darker. rule of 3rds, lamp chair and let other lamp. banister seperates viewer from room. curtains move. action on tv moves very fast. moment occurres when viewer realizes there is no moment. allegory for irony and how americans watch tv. everything in room is old but music is new.

first group- emily sneeden, kt stemper, kirsten anderson- all very humorous. mouth olympics very funny. took same subject but all used very different stylistic takes on it. mouth olympics was good but 3rd sequence not as strong. play on peoples fascination with olympics. parody of winter games. speak easy to satirize the people outside turlington. when drunk u cant even communicate so how is it a social lubricant? people not talking to each other but at each other. if only see someones lips moving could they say whatever they wanted? all only girls lips to show how men never hear what girls are saying, they only see their lips. works in how video is loud and then quiets down only to get very loud again at the end.

group 2- melissa, kelsey, anthony- music change didnt signify a change in action. questions of where we sleep. what is shelter? gueinne pig dreams thing confusing. shelter one works bc of trying different locations and none work. work loses a lot with the beer pong. more about what leads to sleep. kelsey recorded what was happening while it was going on. sounds could be guinnie pig or sleeping person. repeated a lot. going for mindset of 10 year old who doesnt want to sleep in his bed. ending in bed would have added more closure.

group 4- gabby, olga, joel-lighting was main issue for all 3 videos. clock was issue and so was the time span. olga's was amazing.

group5- ryan, sara, william- very hard to follow, needed titles or the event scores to clarify. all seem to be about nothing. very hard to watch but in a good way. watching sara watch nothing was very cool. great concept. nothing can be nothing cause you're actually doing something.

Katie Stemper- Pipilotti Rist- ever is over all- got started using pop culture frame so videos use pop culture style. uses symbolism on left to make interesting character. blue dress and red shoes like dorothy in wizard of oz. uses flower to break cars. comforting music paired with shattering glass. police officer looks like man from far away but is woman . contrast between femininity and feminism. pop culture full of feminine ideals. flowers represent femininity. ever is over all helps avoid labeling the piece and creates contrast. ups color contrast to bring life in.

Ryan- Martha Rosler- semiotics of the kitchen- emphasis on womans perspective. camera stays in same place to emphasize action. says alphabet with different objects in the kitchen. later on is threatening and way stares at the viewer is creepy. movements and actions get violent. shows typical world of a woman at the time. stops at y (why is this ....?) word play. objects were very outdated. when got aggressive focused on objects then the viewer while performing the violent actions
