The Prelim - Ugliest Jumper Ever

The Preliminary Exercise

This is our preliminary exercise, which we called Ugliest Jumper Ever. The aim was to create a sequence demonstrating good continuity techniques, and had to show match on action, shot/reverse-shot, and the 180-degree rule. The brief stated that it had to be 30 seconds long, and comprise of a character opening a door, crossing a room, and sitting down in a chair opposite another character with whom s/he exchanges a few lines of dialogue.

Directors

Tim Burton (25th August, 1958 - present)

- he has his own unique, quirky style - his films tend to be quite dark and gothic
- his characters are always very interesting, and their quirks make them very memorable
- he is imaginitive and original
- his films are both fun and clever
- Burton often works with actor Johnny Depp, and actress Helena Bonham-Carter (with whom he has a son), who are both very talented and I really love
- amongst many others, [including animated films such as Corpse Bride (2005) which he also animated for, like The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993)], directed:
  • Edward Scissorhands (1990) starring Johnny Depp
  • Sleepy Hollow (1999) starring Johnny Depp
  • Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007) starring Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham-Carter

- and due to be released in 2010, Alice in Wonderland, which I'm incredibly excited about because I love Alice in Wonderland!

- he's won and been nominated for many Oscars for a large proportion of his films
