Experimental Film Research: Salaryman - Jake Knight

One of the pieces that inspired our idea was Jake Knight's 'Salaryman' which we had been introduced to in one of Debbie's seminars. We were intrigued with the idea of a short film narrative revolving around repeated scenes yet still keeping the audience interested. Salaryman focusses on a businessman who is in a constant cycle in his life that consists of a mundane office job. The audience see the routine this business man goes through each day and the scenes are repeated throughout the film.

I enjoyed this film when it had been presented to us in one of Debbie's seminars as it was a narrative that I didn't expect to keep interest in, yet it held my attention throughout the whole film. It is intriguing how the ending of the piece links back to the beginning, creating a circular narrative that signifies it is a never ending process for this businessman.
