Natural Features- i thought this film took the viewer to another world. it immersed the viewer in this dark workshop with hidden secrets. the use of so many layers created this intricate tapestry of images. As i was watching it i focused on how the film maker created it, why she created it, and the paint brush. There were barely any living elements in the film and when the hand holding the paint brush entered the frame, the sense of two different dimensions was revealed; the mostly 2-d dimension of the table top with all the images and the 3-d dimension above that with the hands manipulating the 2-d dimension. The paint brush was one of the only things that remained through most of the film and added a vague sense of narrative and again a human (almost god like) element.
Love's Refrain- i feel like the film maker wanted the viewer to see the beautiful images in the film as shapes, colors, and lines as compared to a lake with birds or some people in a coffee shop. from a completely personal view the colors and images in this film were extremely beautiful and peaceful. There were many shots where it took a second to realize what you were looking at and this contributed to the encouragement to see just lines and patterns. So i guess i focused on trying to view the film like that. Also i tried to see how the choices in shots and images revealed something of the film maker, i felt like it was a very personal film.
