Directors whose film styles I like

1) Steven Spielberg, is a famous director who has made many popular films including 'Saving Private Ryan'(1998), and 'Jurassic Park'(1993). He is now in the process of making 'War Horse' a book by Micheal Morpurgo. I like Steven Spielberg work becuase most of his films are based on true and he use's lost of handheld camera that helps to draw the audience into the film and is a good tool for creating tension.

2) David Frankel, directed 'Devil Wears Prada'(2006) and 'Marley and Me'(2008) but has mostly worked on television programs such as 'Sex in the City' and 'Band of Brothers'. I like his films as they are very contemporary in both content and style. The fact that Frankel works in television means that he possess high production values and this gives his films an admirable level of attention to detail.


3) James Hill is the director of 'Born Free'(1966) and 'Black Beauty'(1971) both films about animals, one fictional and one non-fictional. Born Free is about a couple raising a litter of lion cubs and before setting them free into the wild of Africa. But they keep one of the cubs called 'Else' who then becomes the house cat and is loved by everyone. I like that it's a true story, I love any story that has big cats and I like the way the film is all filmed in the depths of Africa. The films muted colours give it a realistic or natural look that helps the audience to form a connection with the main characters.

    1. Film styles section needs examples of a film or film-maker for each style with a clip or image for each.
    2. Need analysis of the two BBC films, analysing genre, narrative, mise-en-scene and why you like them.
