“We stand on the shoulders of giants…”
One of the most significant sources of inspiration for our students’ practical work is the work that they study in the film language and film history/film theory parts of the course. It is natural and expected that artists will copy those artists that came before them in their quest to find their own voice. (Certainly, the year we studied Kurosawa’s ROSHOMON almost every student film had a shot of the sun through leaves, and the year we looked at Kubrick’s films, almost every student film featured at least one scene in balanced, classical composition.)
