Quentin Tarantino

Quentin Tarantino is one of the directors that has really influenced me as a director because of the way he creates suspense in his scenes by keeping shots longer then usual and focusing on the charaters facial expression. These are some of the traits that i hope i will be able to use in my production to get the same desired effect. I am also a fan of Tarantino's use of modern culture in the dialogue between his characters but because we only have 5 minutes for our film, i doubt we will be using this method

soundbite essays

we have been asked to do soundbite essays, my understanding of those is;

a soundbite is - a short extract or taster of a larger piece - e.g a review of a film could be classed as a taster/soundbite essay in comparison to the film. a paragraph from an essay, a podcast ad for a radio show

they;
expand understanding without spoling the whole
give tastes
introduce an idea or a possibility
explain a viewpoint

as the person responsible for direction/concept and storyboards i need soundbite essays on each of the style of directing i want to do, the style of storyboarding i want to do and a rough idea of the concept.
