Past Year's Film Openings

In last Fridays lesson we watched previous years opening films. I think it was really helpful as we now have an idea of what to expect and it gave me a couple of ideas. Heroine is my favourite from last year. It has been shot really well and has a variety of camera angles. The filming of it and the actual concept is very good.

Favourite Childhood Film

Well... Treasure Planet was my favourite childhood film and I still love it today. I was amazed by the animations and the idea of the film as a whole. This is by far my favourite scene of the film as I feel this short section of the film explains a lot and the music selected is very emotional and fits perfectly with the scene.

 

Favourite Actor

My Favourite actor is definitely Johnny Depp as he can literally play any and every character possible. I think the variety of characters he can play is extraordinary as they are so opposite and he just creates the character and makes them come alive. These photos are perfect as they show the variety of parts that he plays and shows that he is a very diverse actor.

John Lewis Advert

I love this advert! I think this has a really good concept showing the 1920s and today and I also like how they have used a split screen to show the differences. This could be a possible idea for the opening of a film!
