    VISUAL TECHNIQUES

    Deformed objects Sci-fi genre Dark and bright lighting, Mainly Dark lighting Appears in some of his music video as a kind of deformed beast by substituting himself in on faces. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o5i0eF2AF4&safe=active

    BJORK ALL IS FULL OF LOVE

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AjI2J2SQ52 8&safe=active One of his famous music video made was Bjork all is full of love, this video was unique and different because of its use of technology to tell the narrative of the video.

    Techniques used in the video


    Low Key lighting had been used here to create a sense of beginning of the robot coming to live, an establishing shot had also been used here to set the scene of love coming to reality. This sets the scene for the audience.
    High Key lighting had then been used at this point to indicate that the robot has come to live, this makes the audience relate with the robot well.

    Close up shot had been used here to let the audience see and know how live(love) has been given to the robot and how she feels. This makes the audience aware and ready of what's to come.

    A mid shot had been used here to explore the feels of the robot .

    A mixture of high and low angle shot had been used here to show how 1 robot was in love with the other robot, this was showed through a high angle shot to make it look vulnerable, whilst a high angle shot was used on the other. But at the end when they both fell in love with each other a low angle shot had been used to show how vulnerable they both are to each other. This keeps the audience informed and away of the emotions being used in the film.

    A long shot had been used here to show the actions of the robot on each other and to also allow the audience see how similar their actions are to humans.

    PERSONAL STYLE AND VALUES


    Cunningham likes to build on the idea of mutated and deformed objects/people. He like to use a mixture of lighting techniques to symbolize different means in his videos. He also like to use a grainy filter on his work, this emphasizes on his work, making it look more unusual.
