La Jetee 1962 - Chris Marker
La Jetee is a film made by Chris Marker It is made completely out of Photographs (except one short clip of film) La Jetee has a narration to describe the story enhanced with music and black and white still images. Overall the photography is visually appealing with carefully lit subjects that enhance the mood of the film. However the film is very slow and the story is very dull. This technique could be used if the story was more gripping and the narration was more intonated.
Film Strengths: Aesthetic photographs.
Film Weaknesses: Storyline too complex and abstract, narration unemotional, music dull.
A film that inspired Chris Marker was Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo
Films that have been inspired by La Jetee; Deja Vu, The Matrix, The Butterfly Effect, 12 monkeys.
