2.The use of technology, techniques and styles.

The technology and techniques used between 'The girl chewing gum', 'Koyanisquatsi' are very similar in many ways. 'Koyanisquatsi' is much heavily post produced, Whereas 'the girl chewing gum' is a lot less so, which I feel is less to do with the technology advance that 'Koyanisquatsi' has but more to do with the different points the videos are trying to make. The technology in 'Jan Kanen' could be seen as much more advanced than both. The artist has used a technique known as Stop Frame Animation. This has allowed the artist to alter size, speed and movement of people and objects in the video. The video is very much craft based, as the technology, imagery and soundtrack makes it entertaining to watch. I also see this as very much a craft based video as I failed to grasp any concept or background ideas the artist may have had, this may have been down to the channelled ideas the artist had as apposed to the other videos that left it more to the viewer. The Girl Chewing Gum's non diegetic sound of the director which arguably creates the whole impact of the video is a lot more primitive to the high action shots of cities and desert terrain that 'Koyanisquatsi' boast's, but both points can be grasped by invidividual viewer which makes them as well made and effective as each other. This compared to 'Jan Kanen' which is a lot more craft based but fails to allow the reader to grasp any real point, so maybe the use of advanced technology could be seen as much more narrowly aimed.
