RESPONSE TO MAYA DEREN

Overall, I liked the film. What I liked the most was the music. The music combined with the quality of the black and white film created a morbid atmosphere, especially the deep humming when the cloaked figure appeared. What I also thought was interesting was at first we only see the silloette of the woman which made her seem in control of the her world up until the cloaked figure appeared. When her fear or emotions start to show the shift of control/power goes to the cloaked figure. I thought this was an interesting method of showing the shift of control.
