After watching 24 hr party people I couldn’t help but think that for a film to be advertised and talked about like it was all about dj culture and experiencing the music and not the music maker I was a bit confused.  Mainly because the majority of the film was about the rise of punk music and then the next wave of indie music that followed.  The major focus was on the struggles and roller coaster ride experienced by the bands management and the venues.  It felt more like a documentary about the life of Tony Wilson and his career as a TV personality and a manager to the various bands.  I did understand the various instances when the camera was directly recognized to create the feeling that it was a film within a film but these instances were few and far between for me to really feel like it was a true meta film.  Perhaps I don’t fully understand the meta film concept yet and I think it is a very vague label but compared to the readings of house of leaves where you really have three distinct stories that relate to each other but are still their own free standing narratives is a much stronger example.  When I picture some meta idea as information within information I keep imaging something similar to the powers of ten video when you see something and then upon zooming in you get a totally new idea and world.  I feel like the internet is another great example and even more specific the technology seen on the ted discussion where you can have a newspaper and then zoom in again and again always finding something new that was not recognizable before hand.
