LIST OF MENTORS
J.J. Abrams
J.J. Abrams is a fantastic director and producer of films and TV shows. He is very famous for producing and directing the TV series 'LOST', and recently he is the director of the upcoming newest star wars! He's also quite famous for directing the two modern versions of Star Trek. Some other films he also directed were Super 8 and the Mission: Impossible series. I've watched LOST and the Star Trek movies, and honestly I think Abrams did a very good job on them, especially LOST.
The TV series LOST is a one of a kind, it's truthfully the only TV show series that I've ever finished watching it! I started watching it WAY back when my grade 6 teacher was crazy enough to let our class watch the entire season 1! Two years later in grade 8, I got netflix and I continued on from season 2 all the way to the end of season 6. Honestly LOST was the most confusing TV series I think that anybody has watched, even if I watched all the episodes 2-3 times, I still won't get it. This is one of Abrams' techniques, to create mysteries that can confuse the audience until they solve the mystery. Like in season 1, Abrams had basically put all the things that should be happening later in the season all the way to season 1, like the black smoke and the polar bear. People are now wondering "What is the black smoke?", "Why are there polar bears on a tropical island?", this is what Abrams want, a mystery for people to solve.
Mysteries aren't just J.J. Abrams only techniques, he makes an aesthetic and technical approach by implementing lens flares in his movies, this is more observed frequently in his new Star Trek movies, though it might be annoying to some people. Lens flares are the beams of light with the circles you see when you look into the sun. Abrams is sometimes known as a "lens flare addict" because of the very frequent use of it in the Star Trek movies, totaling up to 721 lens flares used in the first movie, and 82 used only in the trailer of the second one! Watch this if you don't believe it! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wYgG9MhV5Q0
Also, I have noticed some other minor aesthetic approaches that J.J. Abrams uses. Even though he didn't like Star Trek, he still did a great job on it because he respected it and planned to create even greater things with it than the original series but still keeping everything the same for the fans, and he really did do so.
Another aesthetic approach I noticed is that his movies were mainly about science fiction, but it's not just science fiction where everything is about intelligence, it's science fiction with humanly feels attached inside of it, like love between two people or internal conflicts with a person's self. So when you watch a movie by J.J. Abrams, just keep in mind that it's going to be for science lovers and people who wants those 'feels'. And of course, the half of those humanly feels are from sex scenes where girls who kick ass strip down and make out with some guy.
Since Abrams movies are mostly science fiction, he always approaches the movie with a scary creature that's lurking somewhere.
Abrams also uses techniques where he always twists the plot, this usually happens in LOST, where the characters you think they are, actually aren't.
The villains in J.J. Abrams movies are mostly just plain confusing to understand. It first looks like that the villain has some sort of deep dark secret or some really complicated plan, but in the end it's just plain confusing, This would be an example of Star Trek's villain "Nero".
ANYWAYS enough blabbering, here is an infographic displaying on how to make a movie, J.J Abrams style :)
