ON MEDIA Response

The On Media text reminded me of the theater production scene from Wes Anderson's Moonrise Kingdom.  In this scene, the main character Sam escapes his seat in front of the town play and wanders into the backstage areas.  Before meeting Suzy for the first time in the dressing room, he encounters various layers of the theater production out of their linear order of appearance in the play. 

This reminds me of intermedia more than multimedia, because it directly comments on the nature of one art form.  Instead of compiling fragments of popular culture icons as the last video I found (Franz Ferdinand's music video to Right Action), this one is narrative based and conveys the absurdity of all the costumes and backgrounds of a play when seen away from the stage.
