Case Studies of Iconic Directors

Mark Romanek

Mark Romanek is a three time major grammy award winning American director. He has performed extremely well many times within the music videos which he has created. The most symbolic and iconic music video was a cover of the song "Hurt", this was sung by Johnny Cash who was a big musician to be working with Mark. This was the last music video that Johnny ever did. Knowing this, Mark created what seemed to be a very simple but effective video that had a lot of personal meaning to it. The video was up for 6 nominations in the 2002 MTV music video awards and managed to win best Cinematography. In 2004, after directing Jay-Z's 99 problems music video, Mark won best director, just one of the 4 wins in which the video succeeded in. Mark Romanek has won 19 MTV awards and i believe he is great at what he does.
