#hwa5 #thespectrumfallsapart One decision that made the spectrum fall apart for me was Smith’s narration and sound to guide the storytelling. It made me feel connected but it also made me question how much of my response was coming from the film itself and how much was being carefully shaped for me.
#hwa5 #thespectrumfallsapart 160 characters tells a story that is common and realistic. while we dont hear the other pov, i doubt that this story isnt true (even if not for the speaker, it is certainly true for someone out there) that makes me rethink my decision to put it in tmfor most fictional
For me the one doc that made the spectrum wobble for me was Mothlight because at first I thought it was just abstract and it was going straight last but then I realized it was still “real” which made me question what counts as truth in a documentary. #hwa5 #thespectrumfallsapart
#hwa5 #thespectrumfallsapart Learning that editing can change the truth of a doc. It made the interview doc make me think what is really true. Are the opinions made crafted?
#hwa5 #thespectrumfallsapart
Clints, mapplebeck, and fosternstephenson made me felt thr instability. As ive repeated before, they provided a narrative to a story, a manufactured reality that is quasi-relatable. Its understandable, but niche.
In 160 characters, the choice not to show faces made me feel instability because it allowed me to think that it was me living that life. Even though it was not, I felt as if it was. It made me question myself and my choices because I felt so connected. #hwa5 #thespectrumfallsapart
#hwa5 #thespectrumfallsapart in clint smith’s documentary the camera angles, narration, and sound kind of steer your emotions. it definitely made me feel empathy and get pulled into the story. but it also made me wonder how much of that feeling was real and how much was the film guiding me there.
#hwa5 #thespectrumfallsapart in Brakhage's film it felt particularly instable because it was so different than what I was expecting, with it silence. I'm so used to some sort of sound, even if just nature background, that the silence made my doubt first my electronics, then the vid,then the message
One doc that made the spectrum wobble for me was 160 Characters since at first I took it all as straight truth but then I started wondering what could have gotten left out or edited. #hwa5 #thespectrumfallsapart
Both Brakhage and Smith created instability. Mothlight had no sound which created uneasiness. Smith showing a father and child and then showing the abandoned prison shows a tough situation in which a child grows up without a parent while the parent is locked away. #hwa5 #thespectrumfallsapart
the conversation with white people probably shook me the most just because ive had personal bad experiences with it. having to come face to face and listen to them talk to their views on racism just had me feel off. on top of that, i had trouble trusting those words #hwa5 #thespectrumfallsapart
In Mothlight, the choice not to add sound created this instability when I was trying to place it. Would it be more objective since they are real pictures of debris, or is it more subjective because it is mostly open to interpretation? There was no clear-cut answer. #hwa5 #thespectrumfallsapart
It felt much more real #hwa5 #thespectrumfallsapart
when you put something in constraints and a box, other things that don’t fit start flying out. so for hennessy young man’s how to make an art, i was conflicted bc i knew it was satire but he was saying some real stuff #hwa5 #thespectrumfallsapart
#hwa5 #thespectrumfallsapart I think overlaying the contempoary world on the archived text msgs in Victora's doc. It just felt werid.. but it also made a lot of sense seeing a visual depection of what the person was seeing
The quick "montages" of time passing in 160 Characters gave me that feeling of instability. I was attached to the characters, and drawn into WHAT they were feeling. And seeing time pass quickly enhanced that feeling, like I was living life in their shoes. #hwa5 #thespectrumfallsapart
#hwa5 #thespectrumfallsapart Easily Mothlight. I think part of it was the fact that for the previous 3 docs I had become accustomed to paying attention to the sound when meaningfully engaging with the docs, but for mothlight I felt handicapped as there was dead silence throughout the film.
#hwa5 #thespectrumfallsapart
One film that made me feel uncertain was 160 Characters. I first trusted everything on screen, but then I started questioning which messages were shown? Were they changed? What was left out? Stuff like that was going throug my mind as I watched the video.
There was nothing about Mothlight that felt stable lol. It sort of was like, I tried find something in it that wasn't ever really there. There's no meaning. There doesn't feel like there's any real structure.

i had trouble placing 160characters because it narrates a story that is real and many can relate to, but the narration was just off. but when i think of it, this mother could have just been desensitized to it all and has no more emotion and maybe that makes it more real
one moment that made the nonfiction spectrum wobble was realizing how editing itself shapes meaning. even when footage is real, the order and framing can guide belief and interpretation. it made me question how stable “truth” in documentary really is. #hwa5 #thespectrumfallsapart
#hwa5 #thespectrumfallsapart
The film that made that instability fel was the 160 characters documentary. I was following along realizing that before I would watch this at face value only just believing what was fed to me. But when I was faced with the Prompt about its representational claim it made
In Clint Smith's documentary, the camera angles, narrative style, and sound effects follow the viewer's emotions, sometimes making me feel empathetic and moved...
#hwa5 #thespectrumfallsapart
One doc that I felt instability from is 160 characters. At first I considered everything I was seeing to be truthful, so real. Then, I thought about it more and realized I needed to shift my thinking. Which texts were chosen? Were any texts edited? What wasn't said? #hwa5 #thespectrumfallsapart
Instability was felt in 160 characters because the absence of any multimedia relating to Jim's father except for text messages made it seem as though because there wasn't "evidence" of him, Victoria's reality wasn't real. Did Jim even exist? #hwa5 #thespectrumfallsapart
#hwa5 #thespectrumfallsapart Victoria mapplebeck. I still can’t figure her out. She’s just like Clint but more real bc she’s a single mother telling her story of how she got there and how it’s going but is it even real or just Real bc are you trying to tell me to do it just like you?
#hwa5 #thespectrumfallsapart
I had the hardest time placing michele because it most resmebles a traditional documentary with its interview format, but I still couldn't place it on either side too much because of the mixed subjective material with objective presentation.
In #howtomakeart, I felt instability when he showed a picture & labeled it not art. The truthfulness claim seemed to crumble bc the established logic from earlier (about the internet dictating what art is) seems to contradict for the same comedy value he relied upon. #hwa5 #thespectrumfallsapart
