MICHEL GOUNDRY AND SPIKE JONZE

I continued researching different music video and film directors. One film director I looked into was Michel Goundry, which was so interesting because he directed one of my favourite films, 'Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind'. I love the style this movie was filmed in which involves such brilliant visuals and imaginative changes of scene and setting as memories in the film combine and switch with each other.

There's also a scene in this film that I found most interesting which involves Goundry to be particularly imaginative with scale. I think these are the visuals that remain with you after you've finished watching the film as they're so striking and at first confusing which of course leaves you wondering how it's all filmed and created. After watching a YouTube video explaining how it's done, my brain still can't figure it out.

Another amazing mind is Spike Jonze, director of 'Being John Malkovich', an American black-comedy which focuses on the idea of there being a portal in which different people can access the body of an unsuccessful puppeteer, John Malkovich. The film is a fantasy fulls of twists and the bizarre storyline leads to some very interesting filming techniques such as viewing the experience through the eyes of the person inside the body of Malkovich.

A reason both of these directors stand out to me in particular is because they both share and interesting use of perspective, whether its clever camera tricks, specialist sets or camera angle they create new and exciting visuals for you to feed off.
