Directions - 2 Other directors

Director 1 - Christopher Nolan

In the second of the Batman Trilogy "Batman Dark Knight" there is a violent interrogation between Health ledger's Joker and Christian Bale's Batman. The scene starts with The Joker illuminated by over head lighting in a prison room.

But then the lights are tuned on and you can see a figure behind the Joker in a close up his face, then follows his head being slammed on the table. I didn't want to directly copy this light transition so i decided i might try and merge the two. 

I wanted to take a shot similar to the one below and try to block light on the interrogator so that it seemed he was in darkness compared to the suspect so to create the impression that the interrogator has dark morals/ personality. 

Director 2 - Guy Ritchie 

When looking at a list of all the films Ritchie has directed there seems to be a general pattern that emerges. Similar themes to Love's films, guns, violence, and gangs. Oh and a lot of cockney accents. Ritchie's scripts especially translate all the narrative through this rough tough way of speaking but it seems so natural, where as it seems in places in some of Loves films, especially Sweeney, the London lingo seems forced. I love the humour in Ritchie's films, but it never seems to be so scripted that they are trying to make you laugh, for example in lock stock and two smoking barrels as Vinnie Jones' Character tells a little boy to "wrap up those guns, count the money.... put your seat belt on!". 

Originally I was going to include some humour in the script however after discussing it with my crew I decided that it wouldn't have fitted in with the scene as the intention of the lighting and camera angles wewre to create tension and fear, these would be counter-acted if humour had been involved.
