Interventionist Media Assignment

I chose Cialis simply because the possibilities for humor are endless and I really wanted to bust loose with something funny. We are bombarded with these ads daily whether we want to hear about this or not. Based on my family history we live well into our 90's and usually drop dead from natural causes.

In my opinion the need to her about things both personal and private in the main stream media is less desired than not using a product that I never wanted to know about in the first place. This goes back to the 70's when they banned cigarette commercials and put into prime time media stream, ads for feminine products. This change of ads at first was not accepted very well and brought on a level of disappointment in advertising.

Artist Statement: Remake of The Bells of Atlantis
In 1973 40 years ago I watched The Bells of Atlantis as part of my film production class. At that time this film was considered the perfect blend of art, film and poetry. I thought at the time that I could add to the film without doing damage to the originality. Given at that time that technology was not that much different than in 1940 when it was made I could not do what I had wanted to, until now.
This video remake of this film is intended to support and recognize the artistry of the original movie while adding  newer key elements while keeping the original soundtrack intact. I added more reflective surface footage super imposed over the old film. The addition of an underwater perspective near the beginning, was filmed by rotating the camera 180 degrees to  film the reflections in the water. Doing this would add the illusion of looking up through the water at the land.
Even though this remake only consists of the first third of the original film I believe I was still able to capture the essence of the original idea.

Questions for chapter 2

How does being filmed in public by videographers become art or an invasion of privacy.

With the constitution allowing the gov't to do anything based on national security, does public filming of the masses fall into that category.
