He earns these numerous awards due to his excessive attention to plot details. Such as, during the filming of Reservoir Dogs, “a paramedic was kept on the set to make sure that Mr. Orange 's ( 'Tim Roth ') amount of blood loss was kept consistent and realistic to that of a real gunshot victim” (Graphic Interface Design pg. 2).

NARRATOR: He also captivates his audiences and creates his films with a sense that, when the audience leaves the movie, they know that he directed that film. For example, Tarantino has trademarked the trunk shot camera angle and he 's used it in every movie he has directed such as in Pulp Fiction with Vincent Vega and Jules Winnfield, in Reservoir Dogs with Mr Brown, Mr Pink and Mr White looking at Marvin Nash and in Kill Bill: Volume 1 with The Bride looking at Sofie Fatale in the

NARRATOR: Another trademark of a Tarantino film is his utter brilliance in torture scenes. These scenes are what make audiences feel like they are being held hostage with the character. For example, in Pulp Fiction, Butch Coolidge and Marsellus Wallace are both tortured by Maynard and Zed.
FADE IN: SFX of audio from clip of Pulp Fiction.
Tarantino’s most prominent trait is in his memorable, bemusing supporting characters. One key example is Christoph Waltz’s Col. Hans Landa in Inglorious Bastards.

What distinguishes a Tarantino movie from others, or from a typical Hollywood movie, is the creative nature of his storytelling,” “It’s unique, inventive and not something you’ve typically seen before.” (Courshon 2). Tarantino has paved a road for aspiring directors and screenwriters around the globe and has fueled their ambitions to create something that has never been seen before, a true

    Quentin Tarantino paints with a palette of the past. As a young man, he worked in a video store, studiously absorbing film. When he began creating movies himself, he construed the elements of classic cinematic storytelling into his own modern pastiche, this is what sets him apart, and why he is often considered the most influential filmmaker of the 90s. Nearly twenty-five years after his first major film Tarantino gives us his eighth film, The Hateful Eight.…

    Tim Burton is an amazing director he uses so many different cinematic techniques to create mood and tone in some of his past movies like “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”, “Edward Scissorhands”, and “Big Fish”. In each of those movies he uses cinematic techniques to create a different mood and tone. The three that stood out to me on all movies by Tim Burton were sound, lighting, and editing.…

    “One person’s craziness is another person’s reality,” by Tim Burton. Throughout the three movies (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Edward Scissorhands, and Big Fish), Tim Burton has reiterated his style, which is mystery, fantasy, and imagination. These make Burton movies extremely interesting to view because you always wonder what Tim Burton was imagining when he created his next film. His style comes from three properties that every movie should contain, music, shots, and lighting. Throughout this essay, I will explain why these 3 items make his movies so much more entertaining than a movie without those crucial details.…

    “The Cutting edge” used very cleaver editing techniques to help narrate the story. Although the film had a narration along with the interviews, it was the cuts from director to editor that made it so successful. In those scenes, the director would speak about his experience during the postproduction of a film. Then there would be a cut in-between his interview to the editor while they explain their perspective. This was done very well, especially the cuts between Quentin and his editor. The viewer…
