Hooray for Hollywood- Emily Spivey

Nick Cassavetes. 
Most people don't know who this guys is. I don't know much about him but I do know that he is an awesome director. One of my favorite movies, "The Notebook", was directed by him. He also directed a movie that I recently watched called "The Other Woman". 
After watching this movie I saw some connections between the two movies and the style of them. 
He likes to use the sun as his lighting. A good portion of both movies take place outside surrounded by either bright green trees or bright yellow taxis. Even though these two movies occur in different settings he films them the same way. 
He also likes to have bright whites throughout the scenes which help to reflect that natural light. 
Even though humor is involved with the script, Cassavetes likes to make the jokes witty and sarcastic. Sometimes, he likes to have something funny happening in the background of a scene and just doesn't point it out. 
He has directed many great movies, including two of my favorites.
