Girl Chewing Gum - Directed by John Smith. This experimental video was created in 1976. The video shows real life down a street for about ten minutes, however there is a voice over of what appears to be a director which turns out to be a man which is watching this video and voicing over in the style of a director. The voice over does not seem to be completely true, as some of the comments seem to be to farfetched to be real. For example he was able to predict the movement of two pidgeons, and every now and then adds a humourous comment. As he does not seem to be directing for real. he is able to change the context of some people's story's for example, a man was "going home" and another man had "robbed a post office". This video is also very conceptual as it can chage the idea of what the watcher is thinking as they will believe mostly whatever the 'Director' says until they realise that what is being said may not be all true.
