What’s Wrong With This Picture Part 1

What’s Wrong With This Picture? at present consists of:
Part 1: An exercise in combining a documented segment of a real occurrence with structural elements. The film becomes a study of speech patterns. There is, on several levels, a play on the difference between film mechanics and video electronics.
Part 2: An exercise in (1) making a facsimile of a 1930s Coronet instructional film entitled Are You A Good Citizen? and (2) combining it with structural elements. It was made as close to the original as possible, using the original soundtrack dialogue, which was re-synched and slightly edited. Stills from the original film were used to determine the composition of each shot. – G.L.
