The Fall- Opening Sequence

This opening sequence is set in black and white to emphasize the fact that it's set in the old times. It includes really powerful and moving music, different shots and a range of different effects such as slow-motion to support and emphasize the powerfulness. This film falls in to the adventure/drama/fantasy genre.

I think this shot is really effective and powerful because it seems like he's gasping for breath, the slow-motion used in this shot makes it stronger and more powerful.

I like this high angle shot because it shows 'the fall' from a persons point of view standing on the bridges point of view. I like how the ore still remains in the capsized boat but upright, so it makes this shot quite unique and unusual.

This shot is quite striking in the fact that even the dog is barking because it is worried and trying to get attention and help. This shot is quite moving because the dog's owner only has one leg, this makes the audience feel a little less worried and a bit more emotional.

The expression on these guys faces make this seem so much more dramatic than it would have been if they had no expression and gasping for help. I like the camera angle of this shot because it shows that people are looking down on them.

I really like this shot because you can see entirely the whole reflection of the bridge on the water, how many people are on it, the train passing by and then to top this shot of you can still see the two men in the water. I like how this shot shows how little and far down the men are compared to the height of the bridge.

I like this shot because it has been taken as if you were the men looking up at the bridge. This gives you another insight on the location. This shot is quite strange in the purpose that there is a hanging horse in mid-air. I really like this full-shot as you get a really good insight, finally, of the location.
