1.Cinematographer of The Shining: John Alcott

I really love Alcott’s use of symmetry in The Shining and would like to take inspiration from it in my own work. The whole mood of the film is dictated by the cinematography elements and I especially love the close up shots used to create discomfort and tension.

2. Sound editor of Dunkirk: Richard King

I’m fascinated by the use of the Shepard tone in Dunkirk and how it builds suspense and I would like to utilise it in my future projects. I also just believe that sound is one of the most important elements of film and find the different uses of sound really interesting.

3. Director of Se7en: David Fincher

Fincher is my all time favourite director and I specifically love the way he blocks the scene and the characters and the mood he creates with his mise-en-scene. I would really like to experiment with mise-en-scene and practice using it in my own work as i really enjoy the little details it gives.
