This afternoon we watched koyaanisqatsi, Koyaanisqatsi is a documentary, it is also a visual concert of images set to music by 'Phillip Glass' . "Koyaanisqatsi" is a Hopi indian term for "life out of balance". The film uses extensive time lapse photography which speeds images up and slow motion photography to make comparisons between different types of physical motion.
The film progresses from purely natural environments to nature as affected by man, and finally to man's own manmade environment, devoid of nature yet still following the patterns of natural flow as depicted in the beginning of the film, yet in chaos and disarray. Through this the film conveys its key message, which is Koyaanisqatsi: life out of balance; crazy life; life in turmoil; life disintegrating; a state of life that calls for another way of living.
For my multimedia projext i have been looking at creating 4 or 5 flash movies to represent the different words we have been given. I have been looking at a german graphic design book downstairs and there are many ideas and concepts, i have found within this book which has helped me alot. i will start experimenting in flash before next weeks lesson.
