Man with a Movie Camera

"Man with a Movie Camera" was a rather experimental film and was innovative for the time it was made in. The film comprised of many random shots all over the world that in the end, told a story. Many different angles are seen throughout the film and the editing of the film for the time is impressive. The director of the film portrayed many opposites in the film such as the women getting their hair done compared to another shot of lower class women to show the contrast. The editing was very specific to go with the pacing of the music. When the music would get intense and fast,the scenes would cut accordingly to the fast downbeats and then slow down when the music slowed down and this would also be used to produce different moods such as a feeling of calm or a feeling of chaos.
