Koyaanisqutsi

Koyaanisqutsi- life out of balance was created by Francais Ford Copila in 1983 and was funded by Gofrey Reggio. The duration of the film is 1 hour 25 minutes long. It's in a non-diegetic audio throughout the duration of the film, focussing on famous landscapes and city's in the united states involving the demolision, pollution, population of people, transport, and technology building up.
The film starts with an opening of cave paintings showing the start of evolution, of how the world started from simple and natural, then slowly moves to the famous landscapes around the united states such as The Grand Canyon showing the natural beauty of the world, the camera then focusses onto a more urban area New York City.
The audio used in the film starts with calm, relaxing music and makes the audience feel comftable with the repeating words 'koyaanisqutsi' it then races the audience through to a manic city where the music speeds up and becomes more powerful to show the rush of transport and the overcroudness in population of people, the music helps with the way you feel and makes you feel on edge and costraphobic. At the end it uses the same tune that started at the beggining of the film with the cave drawings and confuses the audience by useing the relaxing tune for a rocket exploading at the end and maks you feel comfatable with a distructive sight? It then uses the same start for the finish by then going back to cave drawings.
The concept view i think of this film shows evolution of life beginning, forming, and ending. Koyaannisquitsi shows that technology, transport, buildings etc is progressing more and more which is killing the enviroment and even the planet. It just shows how careless people are being in the world and how no one is thinking of the consequences in the nearer future, its how the saying goes; 'out with the old, in with the new'. The ending has a huge impact to the film and just tells us that society has changed from simple beginning (cave drawings) to a changed complex understanding (rocket exploding).
