Directorz

Wes Anderson

An American director, went to uni with Owen Wilson and wrote three scripts with him, he casts many of the same actors/ actresses in his films, for example, recurring faces would be that of Owen Wilson, Bill Murray and Ben Stiller. He often uses the music of the rolling stones within his film along with many other british "classic rock" bands. He likes to use symetry within his films and often has things that are near to symetrical on either side of the actor in a shot.

Michel Gondry

A french director who is somewhat unique and has sometimes been described as "weird". Originally set out to be an artist but soon expanded into more diverse areas of media, making music videos for the likes of Kanye West. He has also dabbled in feature films creating titles like "Be kind Rewind" and the widely unreleased "The Science of sleep".He likes to use bright, bold colours within his videos.

Spike Jonze

40 year old American director, born in Maryland America. He made the very popular film Jackass and the recent smash hit "where the wild things are" an adaptation of a 25 word childrens book. His audience is generally male teens but for where the wild things are, a more child orientated market. He has won oscars, a golden globe and a MTV movie award.

Shynola

4 men make up the collective shynola. They are Gideon Baws, Richard Kenworthy, Chris Harding and Jason Groves. They make music videos for bands like Blur, Coldplay and Queens of the stone age. Due to the wide range of people they cover in their videos i think they have a large audience generally for whoever likes the music of the band. For example, Coldplay would be middle age, middle class people. They generally do it for the cash.

Hammer & Tongs

Two guys, Garth Jennings and Nick Goldsmith, they've directed music videos for the likes of Vampire Weekend. They also directed Hitch Hikers guide to the galaxy and son of rambow, their audience is anywhere from teens to the older market. There is a strong British influence within their work like Vampire Weekend could be classed as English prep style and son of Rambow is based in a private English school.
