Directors and their techniques

Andrea Arnold.
Andrea Arnold is a filmmaker and former actress from England, who made her feature film directorial debut in 2006 with Red Road. She ays: '' My films don't give you an easy ride. I can see that. The sense I get is that people have quite a physical experience with them. They feel afterwards that they've really been through something''.
In Arnolds British film- Fish Tank- there is a scene in which Mia- the protagonist- goes for a walk. Arnold uses long shots here to show the journey from her house to a newer houing estate. These long shots show the amount of time it takes her and the hand held camera work shows realism. I think this style of filming will work well in our film as we want a tense atmosphere.

Ken Loach
Ken Loach is known for his naturalistic, social realist directing style and for his social beliefs.  He strives  in every area of filmmaking to emphasise genuine interplay between actors, to the point where some scenes in his films appear unscripted. All scenes are carefully scripted, around which some improvisation can occur. The final script and the final film are actually very close.
Rather than employing method actors, he prefers unknown talent who have had some of the life experience of the characters they portray. Loach's film work has been described as naturalistic; he emphasises the genuine interplay between actors, and foregoes over-dependence on special effects.
Loach makes great efforts to help the actors express themselves naturally and honestly. He believes that shooting in order, from first scene to last, helps the actors to find a response to their circumstances. Many actors in his films are often not given the full script at the beginning of a shoot, but rather they experience the story just as a fictional character might do. He will often give actors their scenes a couple of days in advance so they can learn their lines, but they still won't know what comes after that. If a scene involves shock or surprise for a character, the actor might not know what is about to happen.
