David Slade is one inspirational practitioner for me as he is the director of the film i have took a lot of feedback and style from (hard Candy). He started out as a maker of music videos for artists like; Muse, System of a Down, Tori Amos, Stone Temple Pilots, Rob Dougan and Aphex Twin. Hard Candy was in fact his first feature film and he really dug in deep to the real social situation his film had giving it a twisted turn and a ending you wouldn't forget. I like how he uses various shots including fast 1 sec shots to a long stretched out shot. His Camera has that realism natural feel to it giving it a side track away from mainstream and giving it its own look. Hard Candy was released in 2005. He kept it under $1 million so that the company who was investing wouldn't ask to make changes so that he could have his film his way. what i like with only a couple of lines modified in post-production. Only nine minutes of music are present in the film, with ambient sounds, such as heavy breathing, making up most of the soundtrack, The film was shot in eighteen and a half days, largely in sequence, and mostly on a sound stage. I am not allowed to use charted music in my film and it must be copyrighted free sounds so the fact that David has used many sounds to make up his soundtrack similizes to my teaser trailer making my influenza a very beneficial one.
Danny Boyle is known and famous for his natural social realist looks in films, showing the gritty truth of problems faced today. He doesn't tiptoe round the edges when it comes to making films and this is why he is very influential to me. His film trainspotting was a low key independent low budget film which made millions and made his name in the film industry, the reason this film is so successful is the rawness and He goes beyond the drug addiction to its serious effects and he also explores the urban poverty and squalor in 'culturally rich' Edinburgh. My film i wanted to have that independent look and both these influenza's use it in their films this is why they are ideal for me to research these two filmmakers.
Catherine Hardwicke became one of my influenza's when i saw her independent film 'Thirteen' It really was a successful low budget film where she and a younger 15 year old girl collaborated to making the script and film such a success. The film follows this young innocent girl who befriends a girl who ends up making her life a misery, this girl who makes her life a wreak is manipulative and crazy. The camera she uses has that gritty look just like my other influences and it shows more realism and this is exactly what i want my teaser trailer to put across in my coursework. She went on to direct the first 'twilight' film which made millions and because she is such a perfectionist she turned down to direct the second film for the producers wanted to get it out and realised within a year and she wanted more time. She is not a half hearted film maker in the slightest.
