Here, he uses his great songs titled, This Kind of Life Keeps Breaking Your Heart and We Will Say Goodbye to Everyone. On the other hand, the pictures are moving and bigger enough to give a clear view of how the machine works.

- There are lovely pictures of shapes of oranges and eggs. The images are placed proportionately in the video. Each object is occupying an appropriate space. Each object is occupying an appropriate space. Hence, it makes it easier to clearly recognize each object from the other. There is a good balance in each of the foods placed in the film. Although emphasis is created on the foreground, the eggs and oranges are distinctly magnified to show all the sections subjected to the study (Dana, A. & Margaret, I., 2000).
- The artist is trying to educate the viewers on the scientific process undergone by these foods.
- I believe the film covers pictures with different shapes showing the various changes undergone by foods such as orange and egg.
- The type of food architecture used in this film is crucial in delivering the message. The different shapes of foods presented can be seen when flattened. This makes the film amazingly expressive.
