I.Love.Sofia.Coppola. Love her. She is basically everything I want to be. An actress, an artist, a director, a designer...she approaches all of her creative endeavours with the knowledge and perspective of all the different industries she is involved in. Her films are about art. And fashion. And stories. And photography. And so many other things. Lost In Translation or The Virgin Suicides, for example- while they are both incredible stories (particularly the former), what I remember of them is the visuals. THAT shot of Scarlett Johanssen lying on her side in the see through underwear. The iridescent, frantic glow of Tokyo. The eerily beautiful vision of the Lisbon sisters, all blonde and in pale colours through white washed filters.
Lost In Translation
The Virgin Suicides
While there are many people in this course who are incredible at editing films together seamlessly, or are genius' in sound work, or can write the most outrageous narratives, I believe that my strengths lie in the overall creative vision of a piece. I want the work I produce to look a certain way- through the eyes of a curator or photographer. I think that I can help make this film really beautiful looking, visually stimulating and artistic.
