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.

Nice start Amanda, can you try to now analyse the films together maybe starting with soundtrack, remember to include some of the technical language i.e. Craft, context, concept etc.
