koyaanisqastsi (life out of balance)

This film is created by Godfrey Reggio and last for 1 hour and 23 Min's.

The types of visual images used in this piece are:

• A rocket taking off and the dust going every were, it then moves onto a picture that seems to look like cave men.


• It is very dull and not much light it seems pretty calm.


• No.1 is around and it concentrates on the grand canyon for a while.


• Everything is fast forwarded as it is over new york and there are shadows moving over the place all the time at a fast passe.


• Lots of junk and waste food all over the streets looks really dirty.


• Looks vandalised, old rusty broken windows and the buildings are falling down.


• New buildings very nice and shiny, busy streets.


• Towards the end there is a lit up city looks very nice but is fast forward so everything is moving quickly.


• At the end there is a rocket setting off and blows up in the air and it is slowed down as its falling threw the air.

The types of audio used in this video is:

• Piano playing and chanting/singing of a man over the instrument played.


• Deep notes and voice


• The sound makes a quiet and relaxed atmosphere and makes you think into what is happening.


• Music seems like it is building up into something that is going to happen.


• The music changes to loud then to quiet in various parts.


• Music gets louder and faster like it is a panic.

• At the end of the film it is the man chanting again whilst the rocket is coming back down.

I have several things that i think the concept of this film is: That how different places of the world are lived and look or years ago how things happened and then changes to now and how things are.
Another thing the concept could be is that it is showing people that not everything is perfect and people need to think about other people and places.
