Week 10: What the Film's About

I chose to the word "darkness" or "black" to describe what I thought Gunver Nelson's film was about according to Hollis Frampton's theory that a film is about what appears the most. I don't believe that this is a very good theory because I'm sure that if you asked Nelson what the film was a bout he would probably describe it in more than one word. However, I can see that you could say that Nelson doesn't decide what the film is about it is just left to what ever ends up being captured and displayed. I believe that Frampton's theory is more of something to get viewers to think more about what film is and create other perspectives for them to look through.
