Are the people or objects pictured in the video aware of the viewers' presence? How do you know?
The person is aware of himself being taped by the artist because although you do no see his face, his hands are pointed directly at the camera and it is almost like he is performing for the camera when trying to create the star of matches
Do you believe they are empowered somehow, or disempowered by the choices the artist made in portraying them? In other words, how has the way they are video taped informed our image of them?
The artist is empowering them by not showing their face and using closeups and zoom to add drama to the scene.
What do you notice about this video?
This Video is very simplistic yet effective in the way it is shot. It is a straight, dead on shot that is very still. It uses simple everyday objects that produce an interesting and creative outcome
What do you like about the video?
I like how it is the same still shot while the artist is setting up the matches in order to make the star. Then in slightly zooms in to dramatize the star created once the water was poured.
What do you dislike about the video?
The sound and film quality is pretty poor, most likely because it is so old
How would you describe the overall structure of this video?
Straightforward Documentary with low camera angles and minimal camera movement
Choose one of the aspects described in questions 6 and consider how that aspect impacts how you read or respond to this film or video.
the minimal camera movement in most films would weaken the effectivness of it. However in this video it is very effective because the screen doesn't move until the very end when there is variation in what is going on the picture
