My name is Jesse Giezen. I am a student at Newcastle College. This is Where I follow the course Audio Visual Production. I have chosen to study audio visual production at Newcastle College because it a logical next step after my previous course at the Grafisch Lyceum Rotterdam.
To be honest I do not know what I want to do yet in the film industry, I love to tell my stories or my interpretation of a existing story , I love to frame a picture just right to give my audience a feeling of awe. Right now I have my sights set on Directing and Cinematography. I would like to do a combination of both but I am aware of the fact that this is a hard combination to succeed with.
My biggest inspirations are:
- Quentin Tarantino, for his writing and creative story telling. Pulp Fiction has always been one of my great inspirations.
- The Coen brothers, for their execution of their dialog scenes. They are made with such expertise. The way that they decide to frame their films has also inspired me in my own work.
- David Fincher, for his ability to make an audience lose themselves in a film. He has an incredible feeling for camera movements and how these effect the audience.
- Martin Scorsese, for the way he treats his characters, he can make you feel for even the worst gangster or make you root for a character that is deceiving people to make his living.
My professional goal for these coming months is to start building an industry network in the area. Secondly I want to further develop my current ideas and continue to transform these into scripts so I can work on these project throughout the remainder of the year. For me these two goals are important for me because these two things will help me get a footing in the industry. It establishes my network so I can find the right people to work with, plus it shows the industry what I have to offer with my ideas.
My personal goal for these coming months is to work on my punctuality and the time management that is needed for this punctuality. It is important to be reliable in the this industry. A lot is build on trust and showing that you show up in time with the right preparations is a big deal. This shows people that they can count on you.
