Influencial Figures


My choices in the production are most influenced by the well-known director Peter Jackson, who directed movies such as Meet The Feebles, Bad Taste, LOTR, and The Hobbit. He often films close-ups using wide angles and always insists on shooting extra coverage (filming the scene from many different angles). I also take inspiration from his attention to detail and the way he’s a bit of a perfectionist, especially on the "Lord of the Rings" films, where he would spend days shooting a single scene.
In his movies he also favours dark humour in scenes of violence, for example the goblin king scenes in The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey.
He also adds a lot of emphasis on landscape and captures a lot of scenery with an enormous visual scope.

Quentin Tarantino was another great influence on my work. Tarantino has his own method of creating successful film. After the script of The Hateful Eight was leaked online by Gawker, Tarantino scrapped the project altogether and chose to use the story for a novel instead. He often uses graphic violence  that has proven seductive to audiences (voyeurism), and he has been harshly criticized for his use of gore and blood in an entrancing yet simultaneously repulsive way.
