Directors

These are some directors that I have both ebjoyed and have served as inspiration for some parts of our film:

Edgar Wright - English born director, most known for his collabration films with Simon Pegg (Shaun of The Dead, Hot Fuzz, The Worlds End) as well as the 2011 cult classic, Scott Pilgrim. He is known for his over the top style which adds a comic book style to genres not normally done in that way (Hot Fuzz being a 'cop film', for example).

Quentin Tarantino - American director best known for him films, Pulp Fiction, Inglorious Basterds and Django Unchained. He is known for bringing the unconventional to the convential - the hesit film Resevoir Dogs never actually shows the heist, for example. One of his trademarks always present throughout all hisa films is the way he uses tension to 'play' with the audience. The scenes are usually long and drawn out. with very little dialogue, with not a lot of movement, before finally 'exploding' with a full scene of action.

Sergio Leone - An Italian director, regarded by many as the greatest Spaghetti western director of all time, director of classics such as The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, A Fistful of Dollars and For a Few More Dollars. He was the first of kind to the extreme close ups in a western, a technique which is still being used today. As before I stated that Tarantino is known for scenes with long periods of silence, followed by bursts of action- but it was Leone who first made the technique famous.
