EXPERIMENTAL FILM : Introduction

 Summarise  what is meant by " experimental" film , including examples of the experimental techniques  in film form and narrative  that have been used  by previous filmmakers.

Consider ideas such as audience pleasures, the influence of other art forms and art movements, the genre and type of film being made ,  and  the purpose of  using such techniques. Your examples should range from purely experimental " non-narrative" or art  films to techniques used in modern mainstream Hollywood films.

Try to find examples of how the "rules" and audience expectations of each element of film form and narrative can and have been broken.
