Isaac Julien- Fantome Creole, 2005

This was my favorite movie of the exhibit due to its narrative and cinematic effects. Displayed on four large screens, the movie uses thematic energy in each of its scenes to make the color pop out at you, whether it is in the cold locations or hot ones. Shapes are thrown out everywhere along with lines and curves to form symmetrical and asymmetirical shots of nature. Extreme cropping of shots is used throughout to movie to emphasize movement and sound. The scenes move quickly and so do the actions within them. Different angles create different moods.
