Favourite shot of the film. It has a sense of surrealism, because this is in his bath. I also like the link from the bathtub that the person uses to the fish bowl, where the fish resides. I like connection placed between them, where whatever happens to the bath will also happen to the fish bowl.
Sequel to ‘GENESIS’. I think I like this one better that the first. This one had much more beautiful and powerful scenes. I specifically like the scenes of the young black man, walking through the beach. There was a single scene of his portrait with subtitled text. That’s what I would like to include in my work too.
I like the different shots and scenes in this film. I like the experimental aspect of this. There was a lot of play involved and some worked and some didn’t. I also really like that they used a projector to project onto the bodies to add layers and dimension to the work, in addition to the editing. I might experiment with this technique and use a projector, whilst filming.
I like the use of black and white. I also like the use of texts and documents that pop up on multiple shots. This had a lot of focus on the lighting, and the scale of the shots. For example, there was a juxtapose with the large room that Mr Madden was in (wide shot) and the closeup shot of the the light from the monitor illuminating his face. There were also zoom in shots.
I like the close ups. The shots of his hands make it look like they’re not his own, like someone else is touching him (but its just him). And i preferably like the last scene, where his hands cover his face and uncover again to reveal nothing. It could be a symbolism of how he has become nothing, after all the suffocation and emotion he went through.
