Experimental Film question

Discuss some of the ways in which the film or video work you have studied for this topic requires  different kind of spectatorship from which which spectators to their mainstream film going.

In the experimental films I have studied use many different film techniques and vivid imagery which attracts a different kind of spectatorship and audience. Experimental cinema often pushes the boundaries of conventional film and appeal to a niche high brow demographic.

In the Andy Worhol Film Eat, Worhol Challenges the common conventions of narrative and also becomes very personal and voyeuristic by focussing on a subject with steady cam while the subject carries out everyday tasks. This theme of scopophilia runs throughout wormholes films because of his own personal interest with focussing on the norm. This use of focussing on people causes people to feel uncomfortable
