Day 5.

Today we started the day looking at some videos that are considered art.
One video we looked at was actually quite strange. And consisted of a man crouching on top of a ladder seeming to be over dramatically distraught, or pretending. He was repeating these words " I'm not coming down, unless you promise not to break my heart again" whilst gradually getting higher and higher pitch and more and more ridiculously upset. This was made by a man called Rob about ten years ago.

We talked about what the message is that this video is trying to send out.





We all thought that this video was suppose to symbolise a sense of control and manipulation. The guy was talking about having his heart broken so it could be aimed at the camera man, a partner of a relationship or possibly the departed.



One idea that i came up with, is he could be mocking his partner, and over-acting a lot of his partners reactions to situations, he did play a pretty feminine role in the stance that he was taking and also his facial stance as he was talking..  His face was screwed up in tears and he was turning his head in a way that would suggest he was trying to act feminine.


Another thing that I thought it could be, is that he could be emotionally black-mailing someone, carrying on/ Causing a scene just so that he will get his own way, considering people generally don't act in this manner.


One of the young producers pointed out that this guy may have lost a pet and could be over reacting.


The other video that we decided to watch was actually the animation that I had found on YouTube called "The invention of love".

I had already talked about this on the Facebook-group-page and considered this could be an ending to avoid when thinking about the ending of 'The Fish Hearted Bride'.


I really like this piece because it is beautiful and very expressive. The style is really nice, it is silhouetted but also, it's very abstract.


Many theories on this video also came to the key-word "Control". Maybe you cannot control someone to change for love, and the person being changed the saying is for them to not allow themselves to be foolish for love and not allow themselves to be controlled.


Today each of the young producers produced a quote, they were anonymous and then we were to all pick a quote that wasn't our own that we felt we also related our selves to. Then we condensed them into categories. One was control, the other was time and Love. Then we took all of the quotes in one category.. And condensed them into three quotes, one for each category. 

After lots and lots of pondering we used the three quotes together to make one quote.
