Upon doing the reading, it reminded me back a few weeks where I watched an experimental film in cinema studies. It was about ballet. The reading in fact talks about the same film.
What really is interesting about this style is that it doesn’t use traditional means to convey the at of ballet. It uses shapes, imagery, different close up shots and lines to convey ballet in an abstract manner. It is different to most things in Non-narrative styles, where I think of non-narrative I think of documentaries, mainly by David Attenborough where he talks about the subject at hand in a clear, concise and interesting way. This combined with the cinematography in his documentaries make them very easy to watch as they always feel informative to the audience.
This experimental film is different in the way that it conveys Ballet in an abstract manner without the use of words, mostly imagery on screen which is on beat with the music.
