The structural film is a popular and intriguing type among film forms, it is a kind of experimental film. It doesn’t have a specific outline or storyline since it focuses on the expression of the author. Instead of telling a story to the audience, it emphasizes how the audience be absorbed in a compositive film without a feature. It develops gradually in order to draw the audience’s attention to the details of the process, then begins to contemplate the while film. The structural film is like a looping slideshow, with its montage way to express the main idea step by step. This kind of film is more like a carrier of the authors’ thoughts rather than an entertainment to the audience.
In “Serene Velocity”, it keeps bringing the dizzy view of an empty and dark corridor by shifting the lengths on a lens. The edit of this film puts the scene of zoom in and zoom out together in just one second and loops it makes me feel hypnotic. I feel like I am immersed in this scene and get lost in it. The images were structured in the center of the corridor, and the fast motion both intensify the experience in this film.
