Experimental Video - Koyaanisqatsi


The first film is Koyaanisqatsi also known as Life out of balance. The creator of this film was Godfrey Reggio.
The duration of this film is 1 hour 23 minutes long and it revolves around the idea of changing between audio and visual.
Something I notice that there is a lot of non-deigetic noises such as the repition in the name of the film. Others are that the music tempo would start of slow and would the nget faster and then might slow down soon after. At some point we also hear a tone that sounds like a hospital machine telling you of death.

I think the premise behind the film is to show us what the world is about such as conflict, nature and maybe death.
It left me at first confused but later I start to understand this film and that there is no set subject but many.
