Gillian Wearing 2 into 1 (1997) - I found Wearing's film to be quite awkward to watch towards the end as the children and mother start to get more and more personal. I understand and really enjoyed the concept of the film, I liked that it seems that the people featured were talking about themselves. Wearing obviously thought into what family she would film and interview, as they would have to be intelligent enough to be able to maturely deal with what one said about the other.
Jean Cocteau Blood of a Poet (1930) - Of what we watched from Cocteau's film, I found that the filmmakers surreal style and themes were very interesting and slightly disturbing. The scene where the man walks up the hallway stood out to me as it seemed like the shoes outside the door symbolised the way that the people allow themselves to be seen by other people but when the man looks through the keyhole he is able to see their true self. I found this a really interesting idea.
