Week 11: Avant-Garde shorts by Jake Wilson https://padlet.com/jwilson404_1/5d56lr4s1bw778c3 Here is where to post your tenth draft journal entry, on two or more of the avant-garde shorts viewed. Aim for 200-250 words -- although it's fine if you want to go on for longer -- and use one of the prompt questions below as a starting point. This should be posted by Monday Apr 11 at latest, although the sooner the better, so others have a chance to respond. (Remember, this is just a first draft -- you will have a chance to revise before you submit for assessment.) en-us 2021-04-10 10:19:04 UTC 2025-09-24 17:07:20 UTC hello@padlet.com Rainbow Dance, Mothlight and Posthaste Perennial Pattern do not tell stories in any usual sense. Can you suggest another way of describing how these films are structured -- that is, what appears to shift or evolve from the beginning of the film to the end? jwilson404_1 https://padlet.com/jwilson404_1/5d56lr4s1bw778c3/wish/1402308664 2021-04-10 10:21:28 UTC https://padlet.com/jwilson404_1/5d56lr4s1bw778c3/wish/1402308664 At Land has been described as a "psychodrama" -- that is, a visualisation of the inner, emotional landscape of the central figure ("played" by the filmmaker). What does the film suggest about this figure? jwilson404_1 https://padlet.com/jwilson404_1/5d56lr4s1bw778c3/wish/1402309840 2021-04-10 10:22:28 UTC https://padlet.com/jwilson404_1/5d56lr4s1bw778c3/wish/1402309840 In Very Nice Very Nice and Scorpio Rising, what attitude does the film appear to take towards the people on camera? How is this attitude conveyed in each case? jwilson404_1 https://padlet.com/jwilson404_1/5d56lr4s1bw778c3/wish/1402311579 2021-04-10 10:24:02 UTC https://padlet.com/jwilson404_1/5d56lr4s1bw778c3/wish/1402311579 Can Peggy and Fred in Kansas or Outer Space be plausibly classified as part of a genre other than avant-garde or experimental film? If so, what would the genre be in each case? jwilson404_1 https://padlet.com/jwilson404_1/5d56lr4s1bw778c3/wish/1402312585 2021-04-10 10:24:53 UTC https://padlet.com/jwilson404_1/5d56lr4s1bw778c3/wish/1402312585
