Lecture 16th March

Focal Peripheral Contextual

Where is the narrative?

In today's lecture we started off talking about where is the narrative in last week's film called Homicide, which lead us onto an anti-semi conspiracy which then lead on to the relationships between things: collage/montage, context, narrative, composition, structure

What are things? Anything/ everything is a signifier

Semiotics:

Signifier: Signified
What it is: what is means

A signifier achieves meaning (becomes a signified) through its relationships to other signifiers


Field of view - timecode- Mike Figgins 2000


This film was quite interesting in how its improvised and shot all at the same time but in four different perspectives. I did feel it was to hard to follow, I would focus on one of the four parts but then not understand the other three parts. There was audio in all four which made it a little easier to focus on one but then confusing because you were hearing different things, however you could make out which part they were coming from. Overall I really did not enjoy it and did not see at all how it has helped me, I did not understand the storyline it was dense.
