In Matreyek's work called the 'Factory', In this piece, the majority of the objects that appear are related to some kind of technology and manufacturing. Hence the title, the video takes place in some sort of Factory, starting off with people seemingly walking into it. Everything is precisely in order, including the people. After the video has shown people walking into the factory at the start, the shot moves upwards to the sky, showing 2 aircrafts that are holding large ships underneath them. The movie piece then moves on to inside the factory, showing the different varieties of technology and their uses. The technology seen is seems either extremely outdated according to the 21st century, or very peculiar. In particular, one of the technology include a machine that is basically just a hand, which repeatedly moves from one place to another, grabbing and putting down at the same time. The movie then moves into a close up shot of a woman working with a piece of equipment with a lot of repetition. This woman was in the bottom right hand corner previously. Behind her, a person wearing a mask is writing something down on a clipboard. The next scene shows two working people, one working with an extremely large wrench, larger than a human body. Next is shown yet another person, who seems to be doing the same activity as the previous but with a different tool. An object that looks like a blender is also seen. The overall mood of this piece is simple and boring. Everything in the piece has repetition and presented so that there is no emotion in the piece. When seen closely, it can be seen that many of the actions in the video are repeated, just as if they were copy and pasted. The actions that the technology and people are doing are repeated exactly the same. Sound in this piece also uses repetition. The sounds in this piece are realistic sounds, sounds that one might hear when the machinery in this work is turned on. There are no particular sound cues in this piece, although in the very first scene and the last two scenes the action is done exactly 14 times. For example, in the first scene, 14 people walk into the factory until the scene ends. In the last two scenes, the actions are done 14 times before the scene ends. This work is interpreted as a film that shows an extremely boring and repetitive life of some people who work at some sort of factory. The film could be set in the future, as the majority of the items and objects that are seen in this film are not seen in real life. When various people were asked what they thought this film was about, people responded with, “I think that this is about a world that’s has become overcome by technology”, “ I think it is about people who have a hard lifestyle” and “I think it is about the repetition of a working lifestyle”. The intended audience for this piece are people in their mid-teens and older. This is because the themes and movie itself will probably only be understood by people in these ages. That way, the main themes of this movie may be understood. Visual language such as the colour and especially repetition results to the interpretation. The colour scheme of this entire movie is black and white, and as described before, the actions in the film are repeated throughout the whole movie. Matreyek has also used sound to emphasize the boringness of the factory. There are no particularly interesting sounds in the movie and everything is again, repeated.
