Various directors i am interested in.

The three directors that i am interested are Michel Gondry, Anton Corbijn and Chris Cunningham, all three of these directors are autuers as they each have their own distinct styles. 

The first director I am going to look at is Michel Gondry. He uses a lot of dreamscape ideas and surrealism in his videos. There is one video in particular that jumps out to me is The White Stripes - the hardest button to button. I like this videos because it is synchronous to the beat of the drum, i think this is really interesting to watch, I would like to try something similar in my music video. Another aspect to this video that i think is interesting is the stop motion, I think this creates a fascinating effect that the viewer is gripped to watch. 

The second director that i am interested in is Anton Corbijn. Corbijn bases a lot of his work within rules of photography. He uses the rule of thirds to frame his work, he also uses black and white to create a gritty and raw effect to his videos. One videos that attracts me most is Travis - love will come through. This video is interesting as it is reverse narrative, the video had to be filmed backwards as in the video the man lays in bed and his hair grows, this is to represents time going by. I think simple ideas like this create really interesting videos.

The third and final director that i am interested in is Chris Cunningham, he tends to create videos he uses synchronous editing to create fast paced videos. His work is grungy, dark and mysterious. One video in particular that i am interested in is Aphex Twin - come to daddy, this video uses amazing editing techniques. One example would be synchronous editing and various flashes and jump cuts. I personally would not take influence directly from Chris's style as it is very gothic and grungy, this genre is not one i would necessarily take to as i would lean to something more like Anton Corbijn as i am interested in the way that i would use my knowledge of photography to enhance my skills within filming. However i would like to adopt some aspects of Chris's editing styles, like editing synchronous to the beat and subtle jump cuts.
