Directors and their techniques

The director I'm going to look at is Christopher Nolan. Nolan has a very different way of presenting a movie. "He messes with your memory, his movies are edited in such a way that keeps the audience on their toes all the time". Sometimes so much that it becomes difficult to understand the movie completely if you miss the first five minutes. Extremely innovative photography and editing and more importantly a non linear sequence, except for the movie Insomnia.


Most of the endings of his movies generate a lot of debates. The most recent and famous being, "Was the movie Inception in real space or dream space?" And there are a lot of details worth discussing, there was no dialogue between the characters after the planes landing or when Cobb came out of limbo, the kids were wearing the same clothes, similar posture and never aged both in his imagination and the so-called reality in the end. and of course, the spinning top never fell, just wobbled. One devil he is. he film's script concludes with "Behind him, on the table, the spinning top is STILL SPINNING. And we – FADE OUT".


Almost every Nolan movie starts with a scene, which plays a key role in the movie later, and grabs the audience attention immediately. It can be the bank robbery scene in The Dark Knight, the plane hijack in The Dark Knight Rises, or the ocean scene in Inception. Nolan doesn't believe in slowly introducing the movie, it comes with a bang and makes you sit upright in your chair.
