What a film is all about.

Frampton explains that a film is about the most, or the meaning of the film is a noticeable and occurring part of a film or object in a film. Gunvor Nelson's "Natural Features" can have many defining meanings. It can be argued that the film is about an occurring object which this film contains many examples. In the film we see a paintbrush acting as a transition or the leader of the film. Another example is the continuous occurrence of faces. Faces are sculpted or painted throughout this film. The other occurring par of this film would be the shrieking soundtrack. The screams throughout the film make haunted houses look pitiful at spots. My opinion of what this film is about is deception. The faces, paintbrush and soundtrack all fit into this explanation. The faces change, but in fact seem like one or two people by the soundtrack. The paintbrush is the author of the film because it changes what we see and decides when we see it. This film made us seriously look at what the filmmaker was trying to accomplish. I think tat this was deception, and that the film was about something more, but I could not comprehend it due to the art of deception that "Natural Features" presented.
