David Lynch - Eraserhead
Eraserhead is a film I have looked at a lot in close detail because it is my favourite Lynch film, particularly because of it's symbolism and imagery in relation to sexual and religious metaphors. These are themes common in Lynch films, and so could be something I can consider.
The use of sound is also a very iconic feature of this film - the constant hum/drone that makes up most of the soundtrack adds to the industrial feel of the film, and therefore emphasising the running theme of oppression in the world Henry, the main character, lives in. This sound design inspired me because of the way it creates the effect of a setting for an audience, which is something I could look at using in my film.
The black and white effect is also something which inspired me because it is something not many modern films use as it isn't very realistic; for Lynch this is a good thing because it adds to the surreal nature of this artistic film, and so together with the dream sequence it makes the audience more intrigued by what it actually means.
