1. When realists use found footage, they use it to serve as physical evidence to prove a point. These typically are more for TV such as the History Channel or things like that. However, figurative use is when the filmmaker uses found footage to make a metaphorical point in relation to the idea. Baldwin obviously employs the figurative side as all the footage he uses, while real, is meant to extend, and humorously juxtapose, his voice overs.

2. Three similarities between the punk music scene and the punk/no wave film scene are the idea of just attempting to create (pick up a camera or guitar and use it), there is a group outside the mainstream audience that wants to participate or wants to watch/listen to this art, and that the unpolished or unedited work gives a very authentic and real sense of what was actually captured as opposed to the polished and glamorized real world.

3. These five characteristics are: exploiting aspects of specific mediums, the admiration and respect of high art over pop culture, the concept of the autonomy of art, individual sensibility through unique work, and to reflect universal and individual sensibility.

4. Her films often felt very improvised or spontaneous. She rejected high art and more often opted for a more raw and pure (that is, honest) image.

5. She opts to shoot are cheep, homemade Super 8 (as oppose to 16mm), use non-professional actors, and use members of her community to make the film as opposed to experienced filmmakers. This gives a much less polished and more authentic feel to it which the punks were very attracted to. Both just wanted to get out and shoot without learning the art or technique.

6. Typically in pornography, the audience looks and is attracted towards the penis and the confirmation that the male is satisfied. In the color of love, this doesn't play any part since the penis is flaccid and the man is so distorted that we cannot tell if he is gratified or even care.

7. Here Lara Croft, the protagonist, is not violent, but rather uses repeated actions and dream like environments to have her interact with her surroundings.
