Abstract
1. Like a song it uses a strong motif that changes over and over, the changes often become more drastic until the original is unrecognisable. The changes should have an underlying principle.
2. Focuses on sheer pictorial qualities
3. Real object can be used and freed from their everyday context to be viewed in aesthetic ways.
4. Makes us see object in new ways "art for life's sake"
Associational
1. Like Eisenstein's associational montage, it uses images with emotional connotations to give meanings to images with less or no emotional effect. Eg a pancake looks evil when you "associate" it with Nazi's by cutting between them (or it makes Nazi's silly depending on which connotation is stronger).
2. Uses imagery in a similar way to poetry.
3. Structurally sets of images are grouped and contrast each other and parts are repeated for emphasis.
4. Invites the audience to engage with it and is strongly reliant on their active participation.
I think these are the key points about both types, I am yet to read the examples but am about to sit down and watch both of the films A movie dir. Bruce Conner and Ballet Mecaniqu. I will then review them, read the worksheet about them and then review them again. In the mean time this is the first conversation for our Experimental stuff:
- S'up fellas, ive been looking through the brief and re reading that experimental booklet and it looks like we have loads to do in not alot of time. The brief says it should be based around an object, word or poem. I think we will get enough to work from if we use an object or word, if we use a poem we might end up with too much to do weakening any points we make. So if you guys agree, what object or word do you think we should use?
- A box
- could be interesting
- i think i would be happy to explore what we could do with a box. If we view it partially as a thing itself aswell as a container for other things i think we could get some nice visuals and metaphors and things
- Also whilst looking at the brief it outlines Non linear,
- Personal view, pure abstraction and Structural.
- I think ours should be non linear and abstract. We cant really do personal because we are a group and i would like too have mmore freedom than the structural one offers.
- So what is it that were doing?
- maybe something based on a box that is abstract and non linear
- Yeah, I'm just thinking though five minutes on a box.
- well i was just thinking about things to do with it. we could bake a larger cube out of multiple boxes and alter colour and things aswell as show boxes as both just boxes to hold things rather than be aesthetic objects
- I think we will need some other underlying theme and subtext to go with it. Then we can use colour and camera movement around something like a box to give it meaning and create a motif that we can develop through the piece.
- However that is if we concentrate on abstract form, we could do an associational form instead
- You seem to know a lot more about it than me man, I won't lie and you seem to have it nailed so im happy with doing this!

- ok cool well its just that ive just been reading it through lol, so what kind of message or theme do you think we should use, I think colour will be important
- 9 hours agoJake Hanson
- I need to have a re-read of the brief. You seem to have this nailed though man.
- should we meet up at uni tomorrow before the seminar to discuss some bits?
- Well Jonny isn't here but we cna.
- also afterwards would be better for me, we can grab something to eat and discuss it if you wish
- yeah that will work
