skill and inquiry in film roles

I will look at other well known directors works as well as Tim Burton to then create an image and understanding of what I want to-do. I will use my own ideas and things I enjoy doing to then base my short films off of as I will have enjoyment filming and therefore become more engaged in what I am creating, which can help me create a better product.

I will use some friends and family to act within my films as they will have a clear understanding of what I envision and can help me achieve said vision. For the cinematographer role I can show the understanding of the shots by using shots which are usually used in the first few minutes of a film, for example an establishing shot.

I can reflect on past experiences to the create a resemblance to that and recreate the experience for the enjoyment of others.

I intend to create comedy type films and ones which create sympathy towards the characters, as they keep the audience most engaged.
