While everyone has decided to do research into a certain camera technique across multiple films and documentaries by different directors, I think Lachlan’s research assessment on Edgar Wright is particularly interesting as he’s chosen to look at the director’s overall unique style and how he’s applied it across his filmography. Wright’s films are all original with the exception of Scott Pilgrim vs The World which was an adaptation of a comic book series only known as Scott Pilgrim and while his films may include reoccurring cast members that’s the only thing really connecting them although there is the exception of the three flavours cornetto trilogy where the main characters in Shaun of the Dead (2004), Hot Fuzz (2007) and The World’s End (2013), played by Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, purchase Cornetto’s in the films or Cornetto wrappers are being shown across them.

Wright’s films cover a variety of situations such as car chases, shootouts, hand to hand and even sword fight scenes all of which are fun to watch and yet the director has the ability to even make simpler and quieter moments in films such as getting ready for work engaging and entertaining for the audience. As previously mentioned most of his films are unique not only due to how they’re original ideas but how different each project is for the last, so seeing how the same camera techniques are used in a movie about a zombie apocalypse are also applied in a movie about a getaway driver makes an interesting research piece. Wright’s style is so unique that anyone who’s familiar with his work is able to tell who made the film without checking who the director is, so I think Lachlan has made an excellent choice for this research topic and I’m interested in seeing his work along with everyone else’s when they’re done.
