Assessment and perception of the screening of an example of film manipulation

   It was a very artistic and creative manipulation of the film medium, a rhythmic interpretation of image and sound.  The visual imagery was directly affected by manipulating the film-medium using various techniques. The technique perfectly matched the intensity, beat and rhythm of the music that it incorporated.  

   The sound of musical string instruments were represented by lines of equal intensity and rhythm, while the color of these also matched the feelings they were conveying. The same process was utilized with wind instruments like the trumpet, for example, thinker and more dense lines intensively shooting out with the same energy that a trumpet would be pushing the air out of its horn creating sound.
   Geometrical shapes, like circles and squares, I perceived as representative of people dancing in unification to the rhythm of the image, sound and color. 

   The colors of the manipulated film-medium also played a critical role; their cool and warm colors characterized and embodied the musical piece’s mood and feeling. 

   Overall the film was well thought out and creatively put together. It exemplified the coherence of all its elements and thus it exhibited the unity of the energy between them. 

   In conclusion, the film definitely expands the parameters of creativity to which one could use the film-medium to express ideas in many other modes and certainly use other techniques that are not costly but nonetheless creative that can be used to still get your concept across. It deviates away from the classical mode in which the film-medium is mainly approached conservatively.
