Audience, and audience interpretation of the work

In the group each person can have a similar idea or a totally different one.
For telling lies and Doll face the class generally agreed on the premise of the film.
Most thought telling lies was about people and how we all lie and doll face was about the media and how we want to be like the people on television. Where as Koyaanisqatsi got mixed interpretations. Some people were very negative and found it hard to understand and therefore got bored to fast. Some however liked it. They liked the craft and the way the clips had the speed changed. The premise understanding was similar. Those who were interested thought it was about the human life and how we go by with out noticing the world. Those who didn’t like it think there was no point to the film and found it hard to come up with a meaning because they had not enjoyed watching the film and didn’t fully understand it.

It is not important that everyone who watched a film has the same view; different people see things in different ways. Everyone has their own opinion and it does not matter that they do. Criticism from viewers can help people to create a better film next time as they take into account what people have said works and doses not.

The relationship between an artist and the audience,should be good. the artist has an audience in mind and makes the film suit the audience. the artist has certian things in the film with a certian audiance. for example if the intended audiance was for children of a very young age the film wouldnt have lots of violence etc.
