Style (research)

        While learning tips and tricks about directing may be important, it is also vital to understand what I'm directing. Meaning that I need to breakdown what aspects in my group's scene are most relevant. In this case, it's style. 

Extract from Whiplash (2019)

        A film's style is dependent on the director's technique. With Whiplash, we see elements of a psychological drama. Although the film is about music, this specific scene feels similar to an emotional drama or a thriller. Especially in the scene above, this style is apparent. The quick cuts and close ups of Andrew create a sense of fear and tension that is unique to this film and this director's style. 

     Knowing how to identify style and how it's relevant can better my knowledge of directing, ensuring that every choice has an emotional impact.
