Raised in the village of Rainhill, Yates was inspired to pursue a career in filmmaking after watching Steven Spielberg's 1975 movie ''Jaws''. Before her death, Yates' mother bought him a Super 8mm camera. He used this to shoot various films and videos in which his friends and family featured.〔 One such video, ''The Ghost Ship'', was shot on board the vessel where his uncle worked as a cook. He attended St Helens College where he completed the courses of sociology, politics and literature before moving on to the University of Essex. Yates said that he "used to skive off college all the time" and never expected to join university before being surprised by his A-Level exam results. While at the University of Essex, Yates formed the Film and Video Production Society. He graduated with a BA Government in 1987. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「David Yates」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
