2/5
Study night. This is the fun part of being a director. An excuse to
watch classic films and hope they provide some inspiration. Or at the
very least let you know what you are doing wrong. So since I am in
pre-production on a screwball film; I went with some of the greatest of
the genre.
I got Sturges, Wilder, Capra, and Hawks all ready to go. And
if you don't know any of those names stop reading immediately and go
watch some films. I will still be here. All of those directors I listed
are legends. So I choose a few films of their that I haven't seen 25
times.
Also I like to shy away from some directors classic. I prefer to
watch their lesser known films. In these you can pick up there little
nuances better. What they were trying for, what worked well, and where
to improve. I try to absorb all this knowledge through some form of
voodoo and then inject it into my films. We will see how that works out.
