1st group of critical presentations

1. Emily Sneedon-"Michel Gondry"

  • Presented the video that was directed by Gondry- "Too Many Dicks On The Dance Floor"
  • Went into detail on the video, and that deep explanation gave insight on storyboard of video and Gondry's thought process.





Explanation:
  • various beats and camera angles to emphasize overall lyrics
  • gives us a big view of dance floor t know where the characters will move
  • Diegetic Sound-sound whose source is visible on the screen or whose source is implied to be present by the action of the film.
  • mainly uses cuts as transitions fantasy realism
  • emphasizes a lot of spacial relationships to allude from the fact that the setting is an actual club dance floor and not a film set


2. Nicole Pennington-"Paul McCarthy"

  • Showed video clips such as "Cultural Soup" and used that video, directed by McCarthy to somewhat generalize his style.

Explanation:
  • Phallic representation: styrofoam ball on broomstick
  • Audience relations
  • psychoanalytic theories
  • repetitive dialogue: much like brain does with memories
  • coping
  • castrating father figure
  • Oedipus complex: son loves mother and is jealous of father
