Chapter 1

Doll face is an experimental video created by Andy Huang. It shows a robotic arm with a face extending towards a picture of a perfect girl on a television screen. As the girl on television improves, the tv movers further away and the robot stretches has to stretch further to improve its self to become like its idol. This carries on unlike the robot cannot stretch anymore and the body breaks and it crashes to the crash and the robots face smashes. Unlike 'MUTO', Doll face has a meaning behind it and can be interpreted by many people in different ways. It also creates emotion and a sad atmosphere. MUTO however, is an a very ambiguous piece and each person who watches it will have a different opinion. Unlike ‘Doll Face’ where there are limited ideas that can be interpreted by the viewer.

Unlike both of these ‘Girl Chewing Gum’ has no clear storyline. Arguably, MUTO could be said to have no storyline either, but if watched carefully there is a slight narrative surrounding the clip. Girl Chewing Gum is based around illusion and this creates the deception that the clip is a film set.

Although there are many clear visual differences between all three, there are many subliminal similarities such as way it makes viewers react and the way it draws people in to the concept and craft within each piece.
