Dog Star Man

I enjoyed the quick close-ups and jerking camera movements within the prelude of Dog Star Man. The shots which involve the moon are nice and very in focus for having so much done to the film. It seems like there is a close up of a dog or some type of fun which has vibrant orange and red color. The close ups of fire are beautiful and show the slow graceful movements of the flames as they are firing up the material around it. It's almost nice not being able to see the whole subject, you are only exposed to small parts at a time of each filmed subject. Wether he filmed the solar eclipses himself or was found footage the placement and use of the images are very bright and creative within this prelude. I believe there was an image of a woman's butt then an immediate cut to a vagina. I believe this is what it appears to be and only supports Brakhage's obsession with the human body.
