Nostalgia by Hollis Frampton
This piece involves a man talking about his photographs, e.g. why he took them, what the photo was of etc. The film consists of these photos burning in a pot. However, when we see a photograph on the screen, this is not the photo he is talking about. When we see a photo in the frame, the man is actually describing the next photo that the viewer will see, not the one on the screen at the time.
There is no additional sound added to this piece apart from the sounds you would expect to hear. These sounds include the man talking and the sound of the photo burning. However, there are periods where there is no sound in the film. This silence can last quite a while, I imagine this is to give the viewer some time to think about what he has just said and to try and imagine what the picture will look like after he has described it.
Telling Lies by Simon Ellis
This film contains only words, there are no actual images in this piece. This makes the piece seem more interesting as it is quite unusual. However, the words that appear on the screen are not the words that the people say, this is to show that the words on the screen is what they are really thinking but not saying, hence 'telling lies.'
This film is similar to 'nostalgia' in the way that the only sounds that you hear are sounds that you would expect, e.g. the man talking to his friends.
