Les Miserables

Last Saturday I went to see the film 'Les Mis'. I thought it was an amazing film however some scenes in the beginning were quite long winded although it concluded several scenes in the end. The use of effects were fantastic, especially when the whole cast were together at the end singing the final song, it was a very chirpy ending making me love the film more. Due to it being the French Revolution there were many guns and canons used to add effects which was filmed very cleverly even though it was a tear jerker when Gavroche died. Also the scene where Enjolras was shot then fell out the Window with the red flag was very powerful, a mid shot was used to film it with only him in the frame hanging from the window with the flag to add effect of how tortuous it was also becoming such a powerful heart renching scene.

Short clip in One Tree Hill

Here is a clip from 'one tree hill' that I saw when I was watching it. I am posting this because I feel the various shots used really added effect within the situation and are similar shots to ones we need. I liked the shot of the close up, track of the feet which then reverted to a close up track of Haleys face which is similar to a shot we are needing to film. Several shots and angles have been used and I feel that when I watched this gave me more knowledge of how we need film our opening and what will be most effective... Ignore the French voice over - it's the only clip I could find on youtube

Looper

Last Saturday I went to see the film Looper. There was a use of various shots throughout adding tension to the film. It was a really good film although i felt it was a lot like 'In time'. I especially thought the ending was great as it was not predictable, like most films. Here is the trailer to the movie, and I do recommend seeing it.
