6. Audience, and audience interpretation of the work

Everyone in the class had their opinions on the films, some different and some the same as each other. I think everyone agreed that The Girl Chewing Gum was a bit disappointing after finding out that it wasn't real and the lack of editing and music which is important especially for experimenting. Along with 1001 Nights, to look at visually everyone agreed that it wasn't very interesting but the same could be said for Telling Lies, but however this film has comical values which the class found funny which makes more interest even if we only see text on a black background. Gisele Kerozene is also a comical piece which everyone found amusing, but again this was different from the other films because of the stop animation, which made it even more comical and creative.

On Koyaanisqatsi, some of the class thought it was interesting with the long slow scenes wheras others found it drags on too much therefor making it boring. Having differences on opinions is a good thing because we can share our own views on what we think is right and wrong and that is how most films are to the audience, we all react differently to a lot of things. It is important to directors to have mixed reactions instead of all reactions being good because if all was good then the director wouldn't have anything to work on in future projects and there would be no challenge.
