Jonny Madderson
I really love Madderson's style. I like how he gives a face to the voice, but then has just a voiceover while visually showing imagery related to what they're saying. I want to give quite a personal feel to my project, like you're really understanding the topic from the interviewee's point of view; I feel he really captures this. Some of his work borders on being quite poetic because of the way the shots are shown with the music in the background.
'Suck, Squeeze, Bang, Blow'
'Five Stone of Lead'
Angie Bird
Angie Bird's style is somewhat similar to Madderson's as they are the same genre of documentary. The main difference between them is that Bird is a lot more interview based. She usually keeps the visuals to the faces of the people talking when they're talking, though not always. I think this works for the type of storytelling work she does, though wouldn't fit with what I'm planning.
'You Won't Regret That Tattoo'
Genéa Gaudet
Her short documentary ' Elder' really grabbed my heart, mostly because I'm a sucker for period gay romance. I can't link it here as it's not a youtube link but I'd definitely recommend giving it a watch! It's an interview of a middle aged man remembering his years as a Mormon missionary and his first love- a young Italian boy in the 1970's. It uses both shots of him now, talking about his memories, and original film footage that he took back then. I really love the contrast between the old footage and the new voice, giving his take on it after all these years.
