Task 1 - Part 2 The use of technology and techniques and styles

A fifth video I viewed was "Gisele Kerozene" by Jan Kounen. There is a very unique style in which this video has been made using stop frame animation. Stop frame animation is where an image is created, and then captured, and then a new similar image is created. This process is repeated (sometimes thousands of times) over and over. Once the images have been gathered, a creator then plays the images together. The slight change in positioning, and movement, gives the impressions that the images create a flowing piece of film. "Gisele Kerozene" is about 3 witches chasing another witch, which has stolen something from them. Only a single camera has been used to develop this piece of video. Whereas, Simon Ellis’ video "Telling lies" is compete opposite. It doesn’t even have the use of a camera. The images seen by audience are text only, and have been created through use of advanced technology in comparison to "Gisele Kerozene" "Telling Lies" is advanced when it is compared against "The Girl Chewing Gum" by John Smith. John Smith's film was created in the 1970's, when camera and video technology was expensive and only just starting to make its way into mainstream society. Unlike "Telling Lies" made in 2000. In the todays modern world, camera and video equipment is affordable for many people and quality of the products has greatly improved from the 1970's.
Due to the difficultly of buying and using camera equipment in John Smith's time, it ment the video was made on a tight budget, therefore affected the aesetics of the video, though there was still scope to be creative.
