Films of Interest
I have decided to start composing a list of films that are of interest to me in terms of visual style, plot or script which I can derive influence from. I appreciate films that display interesting or surreal set and costume design or an off key visual style as well as an unusual plot therefore am particularly interested in the horror genre when it comes to film making.
I have only listed the film and director for these films for now but shall be making a deeper analysis into all aspects of these films on my journal throughout the year. I
