Max Brown EX 3 Essay.

 From the readings/watches that we studied, I can say that the concept of juxtaposition and sequence are integral to the formulation of audio visual art. Especially when it comes to trying to video art, by juxtaposing certain aspects such as pleasantness and horror. things like the “Blue Velvet” Film by David Lynch, where there is this picture perfect town that is juxtaposed with a man suffering from a stroke and an unnerving close up to ants. This creates this special sort of tension and anxiety that makes the whole scene pop.  Finally, David Lynch uses Contrast in order to propose a message. just like with all juxtaposition, is meant to tell the audience something that we may not have been aware of before the sequence happened.

Additionally, with the watching of “The Clock” by Christian Marclay, Juxtaposition can also be used to create additional context from separate media. This can cause the viewer to reflect both on the media that is presented as is and the media that is separated from the film. Making a temporal shift from what the separate media presented in order to make something else. All in all, the artistic video and audio media is made up of these juxtapositions in order to tell a message about something greater or conveys ideas freely. This makes this subject extremely interesting and engrossing to study and to create works that are similar.
