Presentations about Directors

Over the last couple of weeks we have been given the task to create a powerpoint presentation on famous directors in random groups which helps us get to know other people in the class. I was set the task to do a presentation on Hammer and Tongs they are a directing partnership which specilise in music videos and film directory, It waswas very interesting whilst researching information and realising they enjoy playing around with the camera and using a variety of shots e.g Establishing Mid and long Shot these are there most popular from what I saw. Other students also did presentations on directors such as Anton Corbijn, Wes Anderson, Spike Jonze and Michel Gondry. I learnt from watching the presentations that these different directors use many different techniques and some we are very capeable of doing with the facilites we are provided with at school.
