Taking Inspiration From Edgar Wright (Research)

 

Edgar Wright

Edgar Wright is a British director mostly known for the "Three Flavors Cornetto" trilogy. These three movies all contain action and comedy. This director is a master at doing hybrids with these genres. Meaning I could take some inspiration from Edgar Wright to later apply in my film. 



These three movies is what made up the trilogy which all include action and comedy.

I will watch the video below to get a sense of what Edgar Wright thinks about when making a hit film, I will use this video to grow on how to master this type of hybrid genre that I can take ideas to use it for myself. This will develop me as a better director and leader. 




After watching the whole video I understand what he thinks during the process. He flips genre by rethinking how comedy works and how it can be combined with any genre if mastered. Edgar Wright uses a script road map in order to have a formula of his movies. He implements visuals and music to combine together into a series of action and music. Edgar Wright continues his story with a paper and a pencil, he draws what is on his mind and later animates to apply further details. Edgar Wright's storyboards are something to take note on. Edgar Wright's editing is something that impresses me. Him mastering whip pans and wipe transitions. Overall, I have learned what a director does and think, great director methods to better the quality of production and scenery.
