1. Discuss both past and current artists and works(200 words)

Telling lies by simon ellis, 1001 nights by Jananne Al-Ani are videos that have got concept, telling lies is a very good example of an experimental video, looking at the video it’s just different from things that people try out looking at the words flashing past on the screen and the video doesn’t have any images just a blank screen ,the diegetic and the non- diegetic audio all warped in a video makes it a masterpiece, 1001 nights is a good video but not ideal because it doesn’t really give out the message , the non-diegetic audio on the background, comparing the two videos the audio in telling lies are clear and audible hearing the sound of the phone dialling, the sound that the keypad makes while its being pressed and when the phone is dropped, while in 1001 nights the audio is blurred and there seems to be a white noise on the background and when the actors finish telling their story they shut their eyes. Comparing the koyaanisqasti by Godfrey Reggio that has both concept and craft the video has a lot of special effects like the fire at the end; the speeding up of life and others then the audio is non-diegetic.

Chidera this is a good start. Try not to make your writing sound too much like a review. Your opinions are less important in this piece. You use of terminology is good, however try and give more analysis on the similarities and differences of the works.
