V for VENDETTA


These first two shots work in conjunction with each other. First we see someone’s eyes and a reflection in those eyes, a horrific scene of fire. The next shot is what the first character was looking at. A man engulfed in flames, between the two shots, so much emotion is conveyed within this span of just a few seconds of film.


Again, this movie conveys such raw emotion so effortlessly. Notice how the shot incorporates the primal force of nature within a single frame. Breathtaking.


This last shot shows a tragic accident. On the ground is a little girl, shot dead. Then we see the crowd walking toward the scene and they have the mob mentality emerging. While only one shovel is visible, almost every body in this scene has a weapon, including the gun in the officer’s hand.
