reserch for auteur
My first idea was to do Zack Snyder, i like his stylistic methods. But he has only done 3 films, and not much information is available to work with, so my second choice is George A. Romero who has a wide selections of films to look at and compere.
IMDb has a wide selection of films that he have done:
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001681/
I'm yet to chose which 3 film I'm going to compere.
George A. Romero has:
produced 11 titles
written 24 titles
directed 19 titles
acted 11 titles
edited 11 titles
cinematographer 3 titles
Trade Mark:
Often features radio or television news broadcasts playing in the background.
Zombie films with an underlying social commentary
Films often contain extreme carnage with make-up effects by Tom Savini
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001681/bio#trademark
born 4th February 1940, New York
Education: Carnegie-Mellon Institute (art, theatre, design).
When discussing his influences, he has that the Universal horror classic made a strong impression on him and his favorite horror film as a child was The Thing from Another World (1951). However, the film he said made him want to be a director was The Red Shoes (1948). While discussing the directors who made a strong impression on him, he said that Orson Welles and Howard Hawks were his favorites, surpassing Alfred Hitchcock.

this is an internet extract from the book "The Fearmakers" by John McCarthy. This book looks at some of the greatest masters of suspense and terror (i.e. Tod Browning, James Whales, Roger Corman, William Castle, Terrance Fisher, Georgr Romero, Dario Argento, Wes Craven, John Carpenter, and many more)
