At first it was obvious that Jorgen was not content with the
obstructions he was given but you must make do with what you were given
sometimes and he did quite well with it considering the limitations. The shots
themselves were good in that they captured their subject matter very well but I
enjoy this piece mostly for its conceptual point of view. It’s clear that the
point of the video is to portray “The Perfect Human” but I thought it was
really interesting to see because the perfect human has so many different forms
to every individual. I liked that he chose to go about “The Perfect Human” not
only physically but mentally as well, though I feel he could have touched on a
more metal state rather than physical. It’s obvious that the time we live in is
more focused on physical attributes rather than what’s inside (I mean just look
at commercials and how much sex is incorporated to try and get consumers to buy
their product) but I believe the perfect human would not be someone who is on
another state of mind rather than perfect physically. I say that because I feel
that we are on top of the food chain because of our self-aware consciousness
not because of our physical attributes, there are plenty of things in this
world that could easily fuck us over but it’s thanks to our thought process
that have been passed down through our genes, generation after generation, that
we avoid those situations.
The repetition of the
shots really emphasized the significance the shots which I find to be something
that I will be using to make the viewer think deeper into what is being viewed
rather than simply just watching. I also liked how he decided not to use a
background to make the subject matter stand out more rather than blending with
its environment, though there would be cases where that wouldn’t have been the
smartest thing to do. In the end I personally think it’s just a matter of
having reason for what you’re doing if you’re trying to get your point across clearly
rather than inferring it.
