I'm going to be honest, when it came to the Experimental film part of Art Media: History and Theory, I had a much better understanding of Experimental film being art and why someone would create films in this technique more than my Experimental production class. It's possible that my Experimental production class focused more on the technique and the how more than the why. But I couldn't get past the why to do the how.
Experimental Film defies the conventions of traditional and documentary cinema. They don't have to tell a story, or include characters. There doesn't have to be a message and can just be visceral or boring. It can range from highly personal to being very political. Just like performance art, it can be anything. The elements of a film are photography, music, painting, and dance. In Experimental film, these elements can be mixed and manipulated in any way possible to create the feeling or message the artists wants to.
Experimental Film will include full creative freedom, personal expression, spontaneity, social expression and creative betterment, and defines a unique cinematic voice. A lot of experimental films allowed artists to create a realm of their own.
Stepping away from Experimental films for a moment, stepping into decollage. A Decollage is a poster with layers of ripped posters. It's an art that is opposite of the collage. Decollage is created through cutting and tearing away instead of building together.
