Lord of War- Opening Sequence

This visually pleasing “life of a bullet” sequence is a perfect opening for a film about an arms dealer. It is a first-person narrative and shows the creation of a bullet right from the beginning where it is made in a factory all the way to it causing the death of a black-african child. The screen grabs I have got show this journey with the use of medium, close-up and high angle shots. This films genres are crime/drama/thriller.


This is a high angle shot, I like this shot because it shows from this high up shot the location as if you were the person looking down.
I like this shot because it is so clear. I like how the opening sequence has been made as if you are a bullet and takes you through the process of how bullet are made.
It is clear in this shot that this guy is a Russian soldier  because of his uniform. I like the use of HDR-based CG imagery in these shots as they make it more graphical and clear.
This shot just carries on the life of the bullet. I like the bright blue sky and how the colors' in this shot have all been emphasized by the used of CGI.
This shot shows the process of someone putting the bullet into a gun. I like how clear and focused the picture is on the persons fingers and nails, you can almost see every detail.
And this is where the first-person narrative of the life of a bullet ends, causing the death or a harmless child. I like this almost close-up, head shot.
