About me:
My name is Louis Grevatte. Visual media is by far the most important feature of my life. I am constantly thinking about how I could make something into a story or tell the story of something through video or photographs. I have a whole host of interests from making gaming videos to inventing my own sci-fi worlds and would relish the opportunity to take my inspirations and drive into the film industry.

I am an avid watcher of movies and whenever something new is released I'm there to not just watch it but to break it down and think how each shot has come about and how every aspect of it is the way it is.
"Annihilation" (written and directed by Alex Garland)
I love this film for it's amazing use of cinematography and framing to produce a hauntingly beautiful and dread-inducing Lovecraftian masterpiece. The colours from this film are so striking it creates such a perfect atmosphere with the yellows and greens accentuating the distaste and general unease of the character's situation. The darker scenes, lit perfectly, only showing enough detail of the hellish creatures they encounter to give an idea of their true horror.
"The Martian" (directed by Ridley Scott)
I enjoy the story so much specifically how isolation changes Mark throughout the film but also for the incredible use of colour grading which really helps to sell the idea of the inhospitable wastelands of Mars where it takes place. The timing of the film is also incredibly well done with the cuts being perfectly displayed within his character. The cinematography itself is stunning with huge sweeping wide shots of high contrast.
"The Grand Budapest Hotel" (directed by Wes Anderson)
Anderson's simple use of aspect ratio throughout helps perfectly to outline time periods as well as giving a unique form of framing as most of the film exists within 2:3 framing much like older media. His use of colour which is extremely prevalent throughout all of his other works is incredible with the high contrasts creating a unique and intriguing dynamic.
