Richard Ayoade

Here I am going to look at a variety of directors from the films that I have already researched in to, to see how they may have been influenced in their work and to see what problems they faced when creating their films.
-Ayoade adapted his film from a 2008 novel by Joe Dunthorne
-He is taking his film to the Sun Dance Festival.
-He has been compared to Wes Anderson
-Ayoade feels that his film is more in common with "Billy Liar" (1963) by John Schlesinger.
-Ayoade says that a lot of things in the film were influenced by himself,

Richard Ayoade (Submarine)

Submarine is the first of Ayoades films, he both wrote and directed the film, it took about a year of press work to promote his film.

He found the film shoot gruelling – "It's like trying to tell a joke by recording one word a day into a Dictaphone out of order and reassembling it and hoping the cadence of it works"
Ayoade found making the actual film quite gruelling itself, describing it like "trying to tell a joke by recording one word a day into a Dictaphone out of order and reassembling it and hoping the cadence of it works".

Some quotes from interviews,
“You have to be violent, I don’t know any actor that doesn’t respond to threats,” 
"I’m pretty involved with the technical aspects. I guess you don’t really end up subdividing it too much, as it really depends what the specific problem in front of you is, and different sequences have greater technical demands than others, and they’re all really interrelated. I’m not brilliant at categorising those things really … I know where the focus pull is, but I probably wouldn’t be able to work one of those electronic focus pull docks myself."
