How Luhrmann, Mehta, Campion, Waititi and Anderson each bend convention to build a voice

What this note covers

1. Luhrmann: established language can meet a changed screen world
2. Mehta: language can organise a social relationship within a specific setting
3. Campion: intimacy can be organised through attention and material detail
4. Waititi: imagination and ordinary experience can create tonal contrast
5. Anderson: constructed worlds can make conventions conspicuous
6. A stylistic voice is an argument about relationships among choices
7. Distinguish an adaptation choice from a change in underlying conflict
8. Evaluate a recognisable style without reducing it to a checklist
