In “Captin Zips Video Trip (1981), the first website is without sound. It shows some punk lovers gathering and playing in the streets of London. Every Punk has a different colour hairstyle and a unique makeup style. Their hair is very distinctive, some of their hair stylish is likely as being explosion, and some hairstyles are seemed very sharp. Their makeup does not belong to the daily style nor the stage style, it is a style that only exclusive to punk. It makes the punk’s face more prominent and their style more exaggerated. It is beyond people’s knowledge of previous makeup. I also think it is very strange and stylish. They all wear everyday clothes, and their outfits make them stand out in the crowd. The shooting angle is based on their daily habits. There are many turning points, and it turns very fast. The whole film seems to be composed of many scenes edited. It is also without text description, but a lot of actions and activities.

The second website of “Captin Zips Video Trip (1981),” is seemed as a documentary, it records the daily lifestyle of punks. They are having daily conversation between each other. In the performance, they all drink alcohol, having smoke, and swear between each other. This film uses the 20th century video method. The picture quality and language of the film seemed to be covered with a veil. During their dialogue, the voices of the dunks are overlapped and the content was unclear. They still use punk makeup in their daily lives, and their behaviour is not restricted. At last, their conversation is usually 2-3 people, the location is taken in their house.
