Steven Allen Spielberg (Born December 18, 1946) is a well known director of many famous movies from E.T. to Jurassic Park, yet his number one hit in the thriller world was Jaws, using the suspense of the music to his advantage as well as numerous shots of the sight from the sharks point of view and looking at the person above the water. This way of creating suspense was known as inspirational and aspiring to many.
A well known way of him using bright light in dark scenes is something I want to incorporate into the thriller opening of ours as he uses a bright light before making it less bright as well as making the outline of the light stand out a bit more using dust particles, mist or even fog, it's a very inventive way of doing things in my opinion.
A little fact that I've found out about what he incorporates into his movies is that he always makes his protagonists come from families that have been broken up or with fathers that are reluctant, absent or just mostly unimportant which is supposed to represent, in some ways, his own childhood life when his parents divorced. This was just a little fact I wished to include in on this.
He is very much, one of the richest directors in all of Hollywood with many nominations and Oscars secured under his belt. He is known as one of the leading pioneers for the New Hollywood Era which refers to films from the 1960's to the 1980's.
Other famous films apart from E.T., Jurassic Park and Jaws consists of Who Framed Roger Rabbit? A movie which combines animations and humans in one movie and pretty much throughout the entirety of the film.
A noticed theme throughout Spielberg's work is that the characters either find something extraordinary or come into contact with a situation that's very much out of place, something that our thriller movie opening does as well with the main protagonist coming into contact with ghosts, an extraordinary being of the sorts.
One of his famous directing trademarks is low height tracking shots - something he has managed to incorporate into many films of his, consisting of Hook, E.T., Close Encounters of the Third Kind and A.I Artificial Intelligence.
