Style �Jared began acting in 1994 at the age of 23. He has acted in movies like American Psycho, Prefontaine, Fight Club and Requiem for A Dream, etc. (New York Times, 2010) �He directs music videos with a unique style in which he incorporates very cinematic aspects to his shots, evidently rooted from his experience as an actor.

Body of Work �He has directed 6 music videos he calls short films, among other short videos he directs to promote the activities of his band, 30 Seconds To Mars. Notably, he directed a yetto-be commercially-released film called Artifact. (Bliss, 2012) �He has also used his work as a photographer, among others, to aid in the 2010 Haiti Earthquake.

His Style

Creative Process � The music videos that Jared Leto directs always involves a big preproduction process. (Thirty Seconds to Mars, 2011) � He shoots in short periods of time, and he consolidates the aspects of his shoots to maximise the setting. For example, he shot several sections of the music video for ‘Hurricane’ and ‘Kings and Queens’ in one night across several locations. (Thirty Seconds to Mars, 2012) � He hasn’t used a set yet in his music videos. � He draws inspiration from other artists’. Like Ansel Adams’ and Darren Aronofsky’s, among others.

Movie Interpretations �He directed the music videos for the songs The Kill and From Yesterday, basing it on the movies, The Shining and The Last Emperor, respectively.

The Kill = The Shining

From Yesterday = The Last Emperor
