D-UNIIIIIIIIT



(Points to who can guess who the directors above are answers at the foot of this page)
After careful consideration I have decided to chose a director fromt the following list:
* P.T Anderson (Magnolia)
* Terry Gilliam (Brazil, 12 Monkeys)
* Shane Meadows (Dead Man's Shoes, Room for Romeo Brass)
* Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead, Scott Pilgrim VS the World)
* Brian De Palma (The Untouchables, Carlito's Way)

All have disticntive styles. I deemed Gilliam's work as over-elaborate and could prove hard to film with his fantastical style... Edgar Wright, my second choice, has few feature films under his belt and his films are often parodies of his favourite practitioners. I'd like to use Shane Meadows. I'm going to explore his work at the libary and look for potential frame grabs to use in the Case Study and inspire me for the Creative Video.

Competition

Entered a competition just a bit of fun! For Zombieland I wrote,

In the land of the Dead, someone has to get ahead. With Twinky's and Ghostbusters: This is Zombieland!

And Cemetery Juction...

It would be a grave choice not to love it: Cemetery Junction, I locomotivate you to buy it!

Hitchin' a Ride

Alfred Hitchcock week this week -

"If you havn't been murdered. Good luck next time" - Music to be Murdered By

After watching Psyco yesterday I have been listening to the scores for Hitchcocks greatest films (currently listening to Bernard Hermann's Prelude and Rooftop from Vertigo)Having only seen Rear Window (James Stewart), North by North West (Carey Grant)and of course Psyco, I'd like to list Vertigo and The Birds to this list!

Here is an interview with the great man himself.
