Camera Natura

Ross Gibson

 

As with most Australian films it liked to show off the landscape in a way that seemed to over ride everything else. The film featured artwork and images of the country which work so will on camera. It was more a study of the landscape on film than any other element.

 

It is nice to see Australian content because it gives us an idea of what Australia was really like in the early settlement.

 

Although it was shot in 1984 which was recent it has that classical cononial feel to it which is rarely seen in Australian film. I liked to see it, so often we see the histrical background of Europe and the USA but we hardly see our own. It is a nice introduction to the class.
