Director Chioce

Our latest assignment for our next project is to recreate scenes from a chosen director to last for seven minutes. We are to recreate these scenes using our own style of film making rather than just copying how the director originally directed the film. Therefore, we are given free reign to film the scenes in whatever style we wish as long as the overall plot within these scenes is coherent and that the themes stay the same throughout.

For my project, I have decided to choose the director John Glen. John Glen is most notable for his work on several James Bond films as well as directing the most amount of his own Bond films spanning from the mid-Roger Moore era all the way through the Timothy Dalton era of the series. John Glen has also worked on several other notable, successful and highly praised films such as Orson Welles's 'The Third Man' and Richard Donner's 'Superman'.



I decided to choose John Glen as my director choice as I am familiar with his works and I believe that he has a certain cinematic style, both through uses of motifs throughout most of his films and themes that occur throughout.

If I was to do scenes from one of his James Bond films, I would have to recreate some quieter scenes as I would not be capable of filming any big action at my current level of film making, therefore there would be no stunts and certainly high octane action being filmed. I will also have to have an appropriate cast to fill certain roles.
