POST 29: Working from a script 10. PART TWO - Directing Style

(POST TWENTY-NINE)

DIRECTING STYLE

INTERIOR SHOTS

For our LION THE WITCH AND THE WARDROBE scenes, I looked at multiple directors, each with their own distinctive styles. I specifically looked at Wes Anderson, as his warm hues and centralised characters create interesting final outcomes. 












For this particular scene, it had been difficult to direct as it had been in a small space, however, as the interior shots had been filmed after the exterior all the styles from directors had been analysed before. It had also been difficult as it had been a long piece of dialogue to try and direct to create interesting shots that should alternate from different angles every 4-6 seconds. There had been a chunk of this scene that needed to be a lot longer, as Lucy had to fall asleep to the flute, therefore this had been the hardest part to direct and make look interesting.
The different angles consisted of close ups, multiple over the shoulder shots and wide shots to show the two in their conversation. As the scene grew darker the lighting had been an important part of the directing style, as I wanted to keep the warm hues that Anderson constantly uses, as well as, keeping most things within scenes centralised. I also chose to use the shadows off of the characters to become a part of the directing style.
