The two artists i have looked at from the past are Girl Chewing Gum by john smith and Koyaanisqatsi by Godfrey Reggio.
These two video's look completely different when you compare them, one being about life and the planet and the other is just some old footage with someone commentating over the top, two completely different styles but they do have there similarities, they both lead you on to believe something that's is slightly of the truth like in girl chewing gum its as though the commentator is actually predicting whats going on, but then it starts to become a bit obvious and you catch on that hes only doing a voice over and in the koyaanisqatsi video some parts seem really calm and relaxing as though nothing is going to happen, then suddenly something destructive happens and completely changes the mood of the film.
But then they do have their differences, girl chewing gum has narrative over the top but koyaanisqatsi is a non - verbal film.
