Introduction with my Top 10 Favourite Shots

This shot if from the horde, I like this shot because it shows this man has bad intentions compared to the others in his group. Also he is wearing a hat on his head which is also used as a face mask to cover his identity so it adds a mystery to the scene as of why is he hiding his face and where are they.

This shot is from Zombieland, I like this shot because it shows this powerful figure from a low angled shot which shows this guy is dominant in the story. The way he is holding two chainsaws openly shows that this guy is violent and also arrogant that he can use this against the zombies. Also there is a burning car behind him which may of been something he done or just a natural disaster which shows the audience what type of world this is.

This shot is from Black Hawk Down, I like this shot because it shows that the main character is overpowered but the massive population of enemies, and this makes the viewer feel like this is the end for the character they sympathized most with. In the shot you can see a guy holding a gun which shows his dominant power however there is blood on the wall which represents how weak he is and that he’s very vulnerable.

This shot is from holes, I like this shot because its showing the point of view of the character and as he looks on to this town it shows that this place is very isolated from any type of modern day residential environments, also every person in the shot are wearing orange jumpsuits and this would symbolise a prisoner or criminal.

This shot is from Bad Boys 2, I like this shot because it shows the power of the two men who are the main characters and also the relationship between them both, the way that there standing close back to back shows the trust they have in each other which shows to the audience there good friends/work partners.  Also one character is clearly showing the police logo which shows instantly that these guys are good and the others are bad

This shot is from Godzilla, I like this shot because it shows that even though the military have all this high machinery and weapons, they are nothing compared to the size of the footprint of what’s coming, This makes the viewer feel slightly unsafe whilst watching because you would associate them being big and powerful and you feel safe with them, but now there’s something bigger you don’t anymore.

This shot is from Déjà Vu, I like this shot because it shows people watching another person go about their everyday life’s. This is unusual to see because normally if someone is watching someone its normally a bit disturbing and horrible that people are watching this woman, however they are doing it for the right reasons so it messes with the viewers iconography of certain things.

This shot is from The Crow, I like this shot because it shows the hero actually looking like a villain and murdering people with weapons that you would associate with evil men, however this contrasts to the man he is killing because he also uses knives to kill people, so it’s as if he is getting revenge on him like he does to others making the irony of his lifestyle to come back to get him. Also the murderer is wearing makeup, which in a way looks like a ghost or dead person, this links to the film because he is actually dead so the he may of put of the makeup to show he has accepted his fate that he is dead.

This shot is from the film Shooter, I like this shot because of the way that the identity of the man is hidden but how he is wearing all white contrasts to the innocence of his identity, at first it seems he has bad intentions with the rifle and as if he is going to kill someone, but normally the character killing people would be wearing black, however this character is not which shows that what he is doing is for a good cause.

This shot is from The Hurt Locker, I like this shot because it represents someone’s life, by the bullet dropping to the ground, it represents someone’s body falling down to death, this is very effective because instead of showing the blood and gore to show action, it represents the emotional side and what impact this death has had on life.
