The second non-web designer i have decided to look at is Martin Scorsese. Scorsese is an American born film director, producer, writer and actor. He is most famous for films like Taxi Driver, Raging Bull and Goodfellas. His most recent film hit was The Departed for which he won the Academy Award for best Director.
I have been a fan of Martin Scorsese since i saw my first film by him Casino. A film doesn't get much better than Casino in my opinion. It is directed by one of the best and also stars one of the best actors of all time Robert De Niro.
Since seeing Casino i have purchased a a variety of Martin Scorsese films. My two favourites being Taxi Driver and The Departed.
Martin Scorsese has a new film being released this year called Shutter Island. This sees Scorsese link up with Leonardo DiCaprio once more. The trailer looks really good and i am excited for the release of this film.
Scorsese has a number of trademarks in the films he has worked on. He usually starts his films with a segment taken from the middle or the end of the story. I think doing this makes the film a lot more interesting. It shows the user a part of the film that is important and then starts from the beginning. I think this makes it more interesting when the viewer sees the story unfolding and seeing where it is going. Scorsese also uses slow-motion in his films and also he is known for the use of freeze-frames. The main characters Scorsese casts are usually sociopaths that want to be accepted by society.
Probably the most recognisable trademark of Scorseses' is to set his films in New York City. This is where he is from.
I think if i were to take any influence from Martin Scorsese it would be that i should relate my work to what i know about if possible. I would also try to create design trademarks so my designs can be easily recognised.
