This week I came across Ed’s blog where he wrote up some notes about this weeks learning. Something which I found interesting is his writing on how K-films can structurally be hierarchical. This is due to the filmmaker giving certain videos more lives than others, or giving them more of a chance of coming up as a thumbnail than the others. I never thought of it this way.

Whilst this may be trying to structure a hierarchy of what is the most important in the video, sometimes it can be overbearing and a bit of an overkill. I for one, hate having to watch the same video over and over again. However, maybe this can be used as an advantage? If something is consistently being repeated, then does that make the viewer try to find the video they haven’t seen yet? Do they eventually start to identify patterns in the work? Could that work in our favour?
