Mainly, my favourite film making work comes from world cinema, people like Pedro Almodovar(the fountain), and Zhang Yimou(hero, House of flying daggers) who both use striking visuals and current techniques to produce special effects that remain unique to them and are instantly recognisable, this is think is a true stylistic quality; having something like a visual style or technique labelled with your style making you unique.
I particularly do not like the works of M. Night Shyamalan..(6th sence, the village, signs) as i find that his narratives drag, and are way to uneventful, it seems to take a linear line of cause, action effect throughout each movie known as "equilibrium, dis-equilibrium and then the restoration of some equilibrium". Its just not for me as i it doesn't excite me the way the others do with thier storytelling.

The Design Process We Went Through (-sorry its long)
In the Process' used to make the short film used; (the one shot short) we took inspiration from other forms of one shot shorts, and we decided to to develop these idea's we've seen into a first person perspective as without editing and multiple shots to switch back between we felt this to be the most comfortable for the users verisimilitude (believability in context). In understanding that the audiences that where likely to watch our film would be other enthusiasts as this was a small scale, low budget (more importantly non-distributed) experimental film, so we targeted our development stage at their expectations of our intelligence and creativity usually shown within a short experimental film.
We planned and rejected and furthered any ideas that did not adhere to this policy, we discussed a prototype of this film, but time and resources did not allow; so we could not do either an acceptance test in forms of contact with possible audience. or with our own judgment. We where to make sure that we where all content with the plan before filming to achieve maximum effect.
After the filming and sticking to the plan, we had the raw footage, seen on the YouTube link shown below, and we needed next to process the stage of evaluation, we used editing and dubbing to make the audio-visual as good as can be. after which we looked at the effectiveness of it, the most important of the process subtitles. It did fit with the specification we have given ourselves, as the impact of all visual aspects where just as wanted, the audio could have been louder in hindsight but upon completion me and my group were very happy.
