Starting Research For Our Short Film

Three directors whose film styles i like:

Jeff Wadlow 

I really like like Jeff Wadlow because he made one of my favourite movies and that was called Never Back Down. I really like the style of his work, its fast and well thought about. He made films such as "Cry wolf, The Tower Of Babble and manual labour."

Joel Schumacher

I really found Joel Schumacher very interesting because he had made many of my favourite films such as  "Twelve, Batman and Robin and Phone Booth." They all were very good movies and they had stories to it which i thought was very good and interesting. 

Tim Burton

Tim Burton is one of my favourite Directors because he makes very interesting and well thought movies they have a good twist towards the end of his movies, which is good in a way it really makes the  audience think about the movie. he made great films like Pee-Wee's Big Adventure, Batman, Alice In Wonderland," and many more the were very famous. 

3 Short Films

The Black Hole

I really like this short film it was very interesting to watch because it shows how boring it is to work in a office and how the man was by him self it shows that it is a very dead end job. The genre is comedy they had used blue filter on the camera because you can see the man looks a bit blue in the short film.  

Words

This is one of my favorite short film i have seen yet i think this was about sports.family,music,drama,life and nature, this movie was to do with life on earth it was very basic but very understanding i really enjoyed watching this short film. This was directed by Will Hoffman & Daniel Mercadante 

Bitch

I really enjoyed this short film because it was very funny and it tricks you in a way because you think the black lady is a sweet and kind old lady and the white man looks like an evil man so they film tricks you believing that but it was the opposite the old lady was the bad guy  in this film.
