1. Discuss both past and current artists and works

I will compare the film Koyaanisqatsi to two other films. They are The Girl Chewing Gum and Doll Face.
The film Koyaanisqatsi when comparing it to the film The girl chewing gum I can tell that they are different in craft and concept. The craft in Koyaanisqatsi is that we see the effects that we can do nowadays to that we could do in the seventies. An example of this is slow-motion and fast-motion something that may have been available to John Smith but he may not have able to afford this. John Smith’s craft behind it lacks effort because he is dubbing over the film. The concept between them is different as well because Koyaanisqatsi shows us the effect humans have on the world today through global warming and destroying the earth. Yet the concept for The girl chewing gum is to show us that we should not always believe what a narrator tells us. His reason behind this is that most documentaries shot at that time used a narrator.
If I was to compare Koyaanisqatsi to Doll face I can see that Doll Face is completely different.
The craft is different because Andy Huang uses CGI to create his work and to the other artists he uses a far superior amount of technology to make this affective. His concept is that people are more obsessed with the media and how they look and are pushing themselves to make them more like the models in the celebrity magazines you might find on the shelf and soon we will not be able to go any further.
