FILMING
Steven Spielberg, the only child of Leah and Arnold Spielberg, was born on December 18, 1946 at the beginning of the Baby Boom years in Cincinnati, Ohio. It does not take a great stretch of the imagination to see that Steven’s film influences were derived from his father’s experience as a World War II veteran and computer technician and his mother’s past profession as a concert pianist. The love and amount of technology, history, and music within Steven’s films can all be traced back to his early life with his family.
His direction of the actors was executed extremely well. He knew exactly what he wanted from them, and did not give up until it was as he had expected. Some of his setbacks in Apocalypse Now support this opinion. He wanted every part to be performed perfectly.
Jaws the classic summer blockbuster, a thriller with the main goal to build up tension and suspense. Director Steven Spielberg, uses specific dialogue to show how his characters are feeling and their emotions. He uses many different kinds of techniques to build up fear and suspense. Such as his use of music, camera angles, and showing the power of the creature.
Ridley Scott is who I chose because he has produced and directed a range of very successful films in multiple genres and has made a remarkable impact on the film industry. He has directed as many as 22 films to date and produced more than 45 films in his film career so far. I believe he has proven himself a force to be reckoned with in the film industry. While he has at times received criticism for some of his films, he has also been declared as one of the best in the film industry. Scott has directed a number of films that where seen as flops but he has also had far more films that have been a phenomenal success. I will look at some styles, techniques and film making practices used by Scott accompanied by achievements, critical acclaim and
Larraín’s skills as a director come into play immediately as the film begins. The score blares to a black screen, giving a hint of what is to come. His direction is a large reason the film didn't become a standard biopic that is good, but forgettable. The style and intercutting scenes make it hard to look away, even through the most difficult parts of the film.
According to Ward, the creation phase is the early entrepreneurial stage of the company as the entrepreneur assembles the beginnings of an organization geared towards bringing the organization’s first product or service to market. In this phase, the Creator’s role is to create the organization from scratch, breathe life into the organization, and establish the organization out of nothing (Ward, 2003). When Spielberg was in college, he wrote a screenplay titled, Amblin’. This movie was about a teenage couple making their way through the desert to get to a beach that symbolized paradise. Amblin' became a reality after Spielberg was introduced to aspiring producer Dennis Hoffman. This movie, only 26 minutes long, led to his becoming the youngest director ever to be signed to a long-term deal with a major Hollywood studio (Universal) after Sid Sheinberg, then the vice-president of production for Universal's TV arm, saw the film (Amblin', 2011). Spielberg was not so awed by this attention from a studio bigwig that he did not have some misgivings. “I was still several months shy of my twenty-first birthday, and I hadn’t graduated from college.” But Sheinberg said, ‘Do you want to graduate, or do you want to be a film director?’ (Sanello, 1996). The movie had a $15,000 budget. In 1968, his friend Dennis Hoffman provided financing of approximately $10,000 for the production of the film. Spielberg and Hoffman agreed to the “1968 Amblin’ Contract” that prohibited Spielberg from receiving money for directing Amblin’ and was to direct movies presented by Hoffman for the next ten years. Amblin’ received many awards including the Atlanta Film Festival and Venice Film Festival (Amblin', 2011).
Also through staying faithful to his work within hard times and the good times, pushed him to be one of the greatest directors. Not only was Soderbergh’s life and worldviews influential in moving him to the top bracket of directors, but also his films that he produced and directed. His ability to get behind the camera and be with the actors as a cinematographer, and then direct the film at the same time allowed him to make films that surprised all audiences and critics. Finally, Soderbergh was able to allow his worldview to influence his films, which led to him having a greater impact on his audience. This was shown through his film “Ocean’s Eleven” and many other films.
Schindler's List, directed by Steven Spielberg, stars Liam Neason, Ben Kingsley, Ralph Fiennes, and a host of wonderful co-stars, is the story of Oskar Schindler.

In the anime, Attack on Titan, the director is able to create and blend different master plots: vengeance by visual editing that places flashbacks at important moments inside the story and camera angles; hero’s quest by visual cuts and transitions from different character points of view; underdog by changing camera angles. Finally, but not least temptation through the use of sound editing with actions scenery and coloring. Narrative elements used by the director inside a film can change the master plot at any critical moment inside a story, elaborating a different story that can vary depending on our way of interpreting and analyzing the world around us. The director may have a general message that he wants to convey through narrative elements as it was previously stated, but we as the audience have the last word in what the film represents even though we obtain the main idea through the manipulation of the narrative elements used by the director.
I wanted to film Schindler’s List for the reason that the Holocaust was a ghastly occasion in history and should not be over and done. The Jews suffered to the highest degree, they were exposed of their soul rights, treated be fond of animals, slaughtered in the vein of animals. I Intend to remind people of what the Jews had to go all the way through , how Hitler shed them out from the social order. What happened to the Jews should never happen for a second time to anyone. I chose to spotlight Oscar Schindler, because this chap did an extraordinary thing. He saved countless Jews from foreseeable imprisonment and execution. He is evidence that one being can make a difference.
