As a reflection on the constrained tasks, I decided to watch a K-Film from last year called ‘Eulogy to Suburbia’. The authors maintained that they didn’t want to portray suburbia in neither a negative nor positive light, rather to just show it the way they see it.

The clips show the exteriors of different houses in a street or block accompanied by the sounds of passing cars, birds chirping, and trees rustling in the wind.

In the beginning, I enjoyed the clips as they showed what the authors described – the way they see suburbia. However, most of the clips showed exteriors of different houses in the area and there wasn’t much variety. I expected to see the local school, park, milk bar, kid’s playing in the street, etc. After many repetitive clips of house exteriors, there was a clip of garbage bins strewn on the front lawn. This provided some variety to the tiresome clips before it.

This K-Film demonstrated to me that while having some connection between the clips provides an expectation for the audience, it can also become tiresome. Variety between the clips is needed to keep an audience interested in watching the following clips.
