Experimental Film - Influence 2

     The link above is a short experimental film/music video for the song Blue Monday by Manchester's band New Order. It was made in 1984 by Duvet Brothers. It mostly consists of different shots of the rich and poor in England to create a response by showing the huge divide between the two back in 1984.

     I found this other experimental very interesting because it caught my attention by the way it was edited to stay quite at beat with the song. I liked the "voice of Britain" introduction because it straight away draws in the viewer and sets the seen quite well. You can see within the film the clear anger towards the divide between rich and poor in Britain with certain clips such as "the poor get poorer" and shots of Margaret Thatcher who is well known for not being like by the working class, especially in the north of England.  

     This film gave me inspiration towards making our own experimental film as, like my first inspirational film, I enjoy the way the music adapts to fit within the chosen footage to make that great flow and connection between the footage and the music.
