As I have been reading and learning more and more about the history of film, I've come to a couple conclusions.
1. All directors have a style.
2. All directors have a type of story that they tell and by this I don't mean that they tell the story in a certain genre over and over again, I mean that the meaning in each movie is the same, they just expand on it constantly and in new settings.
My answer to both of those points.
1. I think I'm gonna mess with back and white and color. Not like Frank Miller who does it for style but I love the representation of b/w and color. When things are clear cut and theirs evil vs. good, black and white, but when things are supposed to go a little deeper then use color.
I also wanna do something creative camera angles. The camera is the window into the audiences soul. Finally, when I work with film I think that I'll dim the brightness of everything. But, I guess this is depending. I've always believed that I'm actually a nice person (even though I might not be) but I like to think good of mankind. So I guess high film exposure would be a good idea.
I guess I don't have everything thought out like I thought I did. But who does.
2. the types of films I want to make will mostly deal with people falling from grace. This seems t drag audiences to the theater. However, I will avoid the gangster film genre at all cost, because, it is played out, and most of the time their stories are just about falling from grace. I also think that my first film will be "Try and Catch the Devil" followed by "The Way Some People Die"
I also wanna make a surrealist film entitled, "Mental Damage."
