Edgar Wright
Directed: Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, the World's End, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World...
Date of Birth: 18th April 1974
Wright uses "Fast action style editing, usually of mundane tasks, including whip pans and crash zooms." He also uses "deadpan humour in fast paced moments". He uses physical comedy in ways that have become his trademark: e.g. failed fence jumps... His films are recognised as they very often take place in either a bar or a pub.
Stephen Chbosky
Directed: The Perks of being a Wallflower, (Contributed to) Austin Powers - Goldmember...
Date of Birth: 25th January 1970
Director/Author (The Perks of being a Wallflower 1999), as well as an original Broadway comedy.
Gregg Mottola
Directed: Adventureland, Paul, Superbad...
Date of Birth: 11th July 1964
He is known for being an "indie-film hot shot" as Superbad and Aventureland were both 'coming of age', indie style films. He enjoys working with computer-animated characters as he did in 'Paul'.
The techniques of these directors are what inspire me when it comes to creating my own film opening, and also a standard which I can strive to achieve.
