2.  Breakfast at Tiffany’s
 Let the right one in
 Chicago
 Zodiac
 Mildred Pierce

3.  I have purposely chosen very different films.
 I can gather different elements of these films and
combine them to create my opening sequence.

4. What I find
inspirational
about this
movie are the
costumes and
how well they
echoed the
character
Holly
Golightly.

5. - Good use of props, that are
appropriate for the character.
The location and kiss in the
rain are used effectively to echo
the feelings of the characters.
The iconic scene
where Holly has
breakfast outside
Tiffany’s whilst
looking at the
jewellery.

6.  The particular scene is the first scene, where she
stands outside Tiffany’s.
The opening scene has a variety of shots and lets
the viewer understand the actresses location. It
really sets the scene without a spectacular
amount of movement.

7. Effective use of
blood
Fresh faced
look to
emphasise
innocence.

8. I liked the idea of keeping a
scrapbook of violent newspaper
clippings, as seen in Let The
Right One In
I loved how Oskar was made to look
like a bully, but we find that he is
actually being bullied. I like to use
something similar in my opening
sequence

9. In this scene, the camera doesn’t quite
focus on the words, but it then zooms in on
a very important word that reveals quite a
lot.

10. I enjoyed the use of a
strong female
character.

11. A scene from Chicago, where Velma washes blood from her hands,
I enjoyed the camera shots used to film this small moment in the
film.

12. The odd text the killer
used was intriguing and
made the story more
interesting.
I liked the fact that it was based on a
true story, because it makes the whole
idea of it realistic, as it did actually take
place.

13. ZØdiac
Creating messages out of
something no one else
understands, as seen in
Zodiac, is an great
concept and so it is an
inspirational scene for
me.

14. Moody
atmosphere
created using
the lighting

15. In Mildred
Pierce, when she is
being interviewed
by the detective
over the death of
her husband, I
believe this to be
an inspirational
scene.
She looks frightened but unwilling
to crack. I hope to show this in my
characters when I make my
opening sequence.
