Task One-Chapter 2 - Use of technology and techniques

For this I am going to compare two very different experimental videos, Doll Face by Andy Haung made in (1998) and Girl chewing gum by John Smith made in (1976). These two videos are very different because of the techniques they have used, also because of the time they were made.

Girl chewing gum was made in black and white, the film itself is very simple to make but the thought behind it was quite clever. However Doll Face was made at a later date and is computer animation so alot of technogy was used in the making of this film.

The techniques used in Doll face were equally as effective but more complex as there is music playing in the background which changes as the mood changes and the TV with the flashing imagery. However the techniques used in Girl chewing gum was just tricking you to believe that the man speaking is directing the film, when actually it was pre recorded and he had just recorded the voice over.
