KOYAANISQATSI


KOYAANISQATSI was directed by Godfrey Reggio in 1982. It is 87 minutes long.

The imagery that can be seen in this film reminds me of the future, with all the metal and grey colours. There is also images of a desert, cave drawings and buildings that have been blown up.

It is non- Diegetic sound with strings, a piano, a bass and a choir. The sound speeds increases as the film goes on but then like the beginning towards the end it slows down again, maybe to show that it is in sow motion.

I think the premise of the video is to show the effects of war and how rushed peoples lives can be and maybe they are trying to show that if you try to rush live you miss out on important things.

I thought this film was a bit confusing because one minuter it was in slow motion then it became really fast and hard to tell what was going on in the picture.
