The experimental video directed by Peter Greenway features shots of people walking through town in the day. A 'narrator' is pronouncing the alphabet in the background whilst an almost hypnotic soundtrack is played. The video is very abstract and he creates a piece that ditches narrative and explores how scenes can be repeated, yet perceived in a different way by the audience if the soundtrack were to be different.
The video was shot in Venice and the series of shots are repeated multiple times, however each time featuring a different soundtrack. I think the video shows how we can interprete the same thing differently if for example the soundtrack were to be changed.
Precise, effective cinematography bring the images to life as do the types of people that walk by on-screen.. for it's era I feel that Greenaway was also attempting new editing techniques that had rarely been seen in film.
