Link of the Day
First and final frames of films
A cool video from Jacob T. Swinney; I'll let him describe it:
What can we learn by examining only the first and final shot of a film? This video plays the opening and closing shots of 55 films side-by-side. Some of the opening shots are strikingly similar to the final shots, while others are vastly different--both serving a purpose in communicating various themes. Some show progress, some show decline, and some are simply impactful images used to begin and end a film.
Note: given the list of films (which you can see at the link), a couple images may be disturbing.
