Christopher Nolan is another acclaimed film director who inspires us. He is most famous for the 'The Dark Knight Trilogy' in which he completely redefined the superhero genre - gone are the days of 'holy macaroni' and brightly coloured spandex. Nolan recreated Batman as a much grittier more human character, and in turn fleshed out the other Batman characters to make a more realistic and threatening film. We like this gritty style, as it makes films seem much more serious and realistic. Although we probably won't go all out serious we'll certainly have an element of grittiness to our film. Another of Nolan's films that I personally have been inspired by is his mind twister Memento. This was a highly original, relatively low budget film, that showed the film backwards scene by scene as the main character suffered from chronic memory loss. It was an incredibly clever film, and I'd say (after seeing all Nolan's films) that Memento is his best work. Below are a couple of clips from a variety of his films.
