Before starting media I hadnt heard of Quentin Tarantino or any of his films. I have now watched Kill Bill Vol 1 and 2 and Pulp Fiction. I have really enjoyed all of his films and looking forward to his other successful films such as Inglorious Basterds, Reservoir Dogs and Jackie Brown.
Quentin has his own style and uses the "trunk shot" in many of his movies such as Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction. This shows his unique style and has made me think about unusual camera angles that we could use in our film such as a snorri cam which would make our film look more interesting.
