CMPP Experimental lesson

In today's lesson we analysed some experimental films, here are some of my ideas about them.
Star Guitar The Chemical Brothers 
-Sound synchronised with image -Train/ industrial - Still cam with moving landscape -Repeated sections of the landscape make you question what is real and what is a repeat. -Music video
An Optical Poem
-Birth of the music video -Shapes change when instruments change -Patterns literally represent what is happening in the music
Meshes in the Afternoon (Maya Deren)
-Strong continuity editing -some narrative structure -Dreamlike -plays with reality -split personality/ self perception
Om (John Smith)
-Plays with audience preconceptions -strong reliance on audience -conical
Fisticuffs
-Comical -Abstract start -Dance like/ choreographed -western style violence in British setting 


There are some other Experimental films I have seen in the past years and here is a few simple notes on them:
La Jetee (Chris Marker)
-Experimental form not narrative -Conventional scifi narrative Cine Roman
Un Chien Andalou (Bunel, Dali)
-Completely abstract in meaning and production -No idea that made coherent sense would be accepted.
Strike! (Eisenstein)
-Associational -Constructivist -Machine Aesthetic -Editing emphasised -propaganda -mass hero rather than single 
Valerie and her Week of Wonders
-Dream like -Actors play multiple characters without hiding that they are the same person -Questionable subject matter (for the age of Valerie)
The Cabinet of Dr Caligari (Robert Weine)
-Uses expressionistic sets -Influenced by art -The viewer sees through the eyes of a mad person -Plays with reality
