General Comments On How People Have Gone about the still shot films

Lets see still image films with audio. Well its quite difficult to make a few still images look interesting, therefore the use of sounds is very important. the class used many different aspects and most worked well; folio a sound track ie music and either a monologue/voice over.
Most of the shots were correctly framed, which is important as you need to be able to see everything to understand the content.
Some of the films were a little fast which did not allow you to understand as much as if they had slightly slowed down the images. but on the whole they were correctly timed.
The only film i found quite symbolic was todds which is odd as you would think as this is quite an artish Course there would be many more points trying to be put across. Otherwise the narratives were all quite clear.
With the time we were given as a class it was quite functional. Nobody went outside the box did not have to really strain my brain to understand what was going on. Also the shots were always in a logical sequence nobody muked around to create a sense of unease to the viewer no mater what the subject/contents of the film.
