Ridley Scott: Difference between revisions

Content deleted Content added
Line 157:
* Extensive use of smoke and other atmospheres (in ''Alien'', ''Blade Runner'' and ''Black Rain''), plus fans and fan-like objects (''Blade Runner'', ''Black Rain'' and the large Boeing jet engines in the "1984" TV advertisement). Fans are also used in ''Hannibal'', for symbolic purposes.
* Consistency in his choice of composers, using [[Jerry Goldsmith]] (''Alien'' and ''Legend''), [[Vangelis]] (''Blade Runner'' and ''1492: Conquest of Paradise''), [[Hans Zimmer]] (''Black Rain'', ''Thelma & Louise'', ''Gladiator'', ''Hannibal'', ''Black Hawk Down'' and ''Matchstick Men'') or [[Marc Streitenfeld]] (''A Good Year'', ''American Gangster'', ''Body of Lies'', ''Robin Hood'' and ''Prometheus''). Scott has also twice used songs by Sting during the film credits ("Valparaiso" for ''White Squall'' and "Someone to Watch Over Me" for the movie of the same title).
* In his recent films, he often shoots at fast [[shutter speeds]] for a "staccato" look during action scenes (''Gladiator'', ''Black Hawk Down'', ''GladiatorKingdom of Heaven'', ''Robin Hood'').
