So the screen grabs below are currently in no particular order of preference or theme.

​

Overall they sum up a few ideas with regards to composition, tone, colour palette and lighting that I think my be interesting in our approach to Tales From The Lodge.

​

We'll speak more tomorrow but It would be great to have a conversation about the tone and colour of "the lodge" sections of the film and how we can use that as a contrast to "the stories".

​

Some are taken from films that you listed on your viewing list, a few are from some films that I particularly like that I feel might fit in; not necessarily from a comedy or horror perspective, but just in terms of tone and artistic approach. We'll discuss further tomorrow.

​

So far though they include...

 

Wes Anderson - Perhaps a little over stylised for our means but I love his compositions.

Michael Haneke - Particularly his film Amour which I love. The film is largely set in one location and has a very timeless and natural feel.

Frank - Again, I love the colour palette and tone of some of these images. 

Children of Men - Came to mind when thinking of Russell's "The Zombie Apocalypse" story, as well as Paul's car story.

It Follows - So much about this film that I love!

​

A few from Carrie and American Werewolf with a few others thrown in for measure.

Plenty more to add over the next few days, this was just all I've had time to do so far

​

Happy browsing and see you tomorrow.
