Review on Doll Face
This is my review of Doll Face.
The film we watched last week was called Doll Face. It was created by a man called Andy Huang in the 21st Century using technology called CGI (Computer Graphic Imagery)
The visual images used in this chosen piece were a greyish room and a lot of machinery such as a television and a box. Inside the box also includes a lot of machinery which consisted of a robotic arm and head, but the face was human. It was filmed in colour but had a hint of black and white to it before the make up was applied to the face.
The types of audio used in this piece was Non- Diegetic because it was created using computer graphic imagery so the sound would have been added in at that stage or just after. Sounds included were; when the robot moved closer towards the TV, when the robot got moved away from the TV and also sound coming from the TV. There was also music played in the background to give it an effect.
The premise of this video is people are sometimes seen as copying what they see on the TV, it’s as if they are being forced to look like someone else when they can actually be themselves and not copy what they see before them.
The thoughts I am left with after seeing this video are very positive because it gives out a message that you don’t have to look like others to be beautiful. I saw this message because as soon as the robot started copying what she saw on the screen the tv moved further away and soon it moved so far away that the robot couldn’t get any nearer to it and she collapsed with stress of trying to force herself to get closer to it when she knew she couldn’t.

6; audience interpretations
The reaction for Koyaanisqatsi was very negative with some positive comments added. Some said it was a complicated piece of footage as it didn’t include speech and others said it really showed you what life is like in fast and slow motion.
For Telling Lies, it was all positive comments ranging from “great film” to “brilliant”.
1001 nights was also a mixed reaction like Koyaanisqatsi as some people said they were lost after the words “limo” and “rhino” were mentioned.
It doesn’t matter that we all have different views on the films as everyone is entitled to their own opinions and says on what they see. If people hate it, then they hate it, and if people like it, then they like it.
It isn’t really important that we all have one interpretation because then we wouldn’t be able to get another persons opinion on things.
The relationship that the artist has with the audience is positive. If it wasn't, he wouldn't have included them in his footage. He's obviously put some thought into it which varies from what age group it would be for to how it should be shown. He's used a lot of audience participation.

5; How the work inspired me
How these pieces of work have inspired me to create my own work is very high as they each features magnificent shots, each in their own unique way.
What I liked about Doll Face was it was all made by computer graphics and all they added was a human face to a robotic body. It shows that people want to copy how others look when they appear on a screen. It can be described as copying someone elses look to try and be perfect like them.
Another film which inspired me was Telling Lies. I liked the way you could only hear the phone call and understand it without needing to see an image. It shows you can still create a film without needing to add a picture and it still being able to make sense.

My idea for my film would be based on these two films; like merging them as one. I would take the inspiration from Doll Face and the lies from Telling Lies. I think this would make a great film and still give out a message like Doll Face did.
3; Narrative and non Narrative Structures
The storyline in Telling Lies is a simple structure as beginning, middle and end. There is no complex or different structure included in it. Its basically a phone call between several people who are each telling lies to one another about the night before.
The storyline in 1001 nights is a bit more complex than Telling Lies as there is no storyline. Its just 5 women talking about the war from start to finish.
The storyline in Koyaanisqatsi is also complex, the same as 1001 nights. No storyline was made for the film as it isn’t a story based film. Koyaanisqatsi is just a imagery to music type film which has no simple storyline.
Each story has their own beginning, middle and end which is why some of them are complex and others are simple.

2; Techniques and styles
Koyaanisqatsi was made in 1982, Telling Lies was made in the 21st Century and 1001 nights made in 1998. From these dates you can examine that each one would feature technology in different ways
Koyaanisqatsi isn't as modern as the other two as it was created in the early 80s so doesn't feature much new technology. It was modern as the time it was created though. The effect it had was very moving as the music made the piece stand out against over films.
Telling Lies is more modern than 1001 nights and Koyaanisqatsi as it was created in the 21st Century. The effect in this short piece was good because it was different to others.
1001 nights is also modern as it was created 10 years ago. The technology isn't all that as when they speak it sounds muffled. It uses a current technology called CGI graphics, also advanced green screening.
Doll Face was created in the 21st century by a man alled Andy Huang. It features a lot of modern technology which was created via Computer Generated Imagery graphics (CGI graphics).

1; Reviews
The films I am going to talk about are Koyaanisqatsi, 1001 nights and Telling Lies.
Koyaanisqatsi was created by a man called Godfrey Reggio in 1982. The music was composed by Philip Glass. The film consists of slow motion and time-lapse photos of cities and natural landscapes across America. There is no speech in this film; the only sound available is from the music.
The second film was 1001 nights. This was created by Jananne al-ani and made in 1998. It featured 5 women who were speaking about the war. When they spoke, the speaker opened their eyes and when they weren't speaking their eyes were closed. The third film was Telling Lies. It was created by a man called Simon Ellis. It was about a call between several people and how some of them were lying whilst communicating with their friends down the phone. Two of the characters being called Sarah and Darren. The actual truth was then revealed via text at the same time on the screen. The similarities to these films are that they all include sound. In Koyaanisqatsi, you have background music to associate with the pictures. In 1001 nights, you have speech from when the women talk. In Telling Lies, you have speech from the phone call. The differences are they all have different story lines.

Analysing the films altogether, the films are all very different due to them all being about different subjects. The soundtracks used in each film vary massively due to the genres used. Koyaanisqatsi had classical music whilst Telling Lies had no music, just speech.
