we looked at the work of several key music directors and producers suchas spike jonze who has been taking the images that make up America's visual vernacular - TV shows, ad campaigns, B-movies - and using them to create and fuel his sly and ironic humor. His first key directors job was directing the video for the Beastie Boys' "Sabotage" in 1994.
We also looked at the work of michael gondry who is a french film, commercial and music video director, is also an academy award winning screenwriter. His career as a filmmaker began with creating music videos for the French rock band Oui Oui, in which he also served as a drummer. The style of his videos for Oui Oui caught the attention of music artist Björk, who asked him to direct the video for her song "Human Behaviour". Gondry made his feature film debut in 2001 with Human Nature, garnering mixed reviews. His second film Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind was released in 2004 and received very favorable reviews, becoming one of the most critically acclaimed films of the year.
another key director i studied was david fincher who is an academy nominated film maker and music video director who focuses his work around dark and stylish movies suchas alien 3 or fightclub. In 1980 he was hired by industrial light and magic In 1984 he left ILM to direct a commercial for the american cancer society, his rebeliouse and controversial work soon gained him a repretation which was soon notice by los angeles producers and given the chance to direct the documentary the beat of the live drum.
theese 3 directors are evidence of the influx of music video directors into feature films.
