How To Create a Character | There Will Be Blood

Video Description

#therewillbeblood #themaster #videoessay #cinema In this video I discuss and dissect Paul Thomas Anderson’s approach to character, with a particular emphasis on the characters of Daniel and Eli in his 2007 film There Will Be Blood. I also outline how Anderson later developed this approach in 2012, with the release of The Master. Thank you for watching this video, I hope you enjoyed it. Feel free to like, comment, and subscribe.
