All-time Favourite Movie Scene

My favorite film scene is from the movie 'Never Back Down', and is a fight scene. This scene is filmed with very dark lighting to create mystery and suspense. The camera moves sporadically around the two boys involved and flashes up close ups of faces, arms and hands. The music at this time is very fast speed and causes the heart to race without even seeing the image. The actors portray their characters very well and make the scene believable and very memorable.

The Umbrellas Of Cherbourg ~ Michel Legrand 1964

This film extract is of two lovers and the boy goes off to war and asks the girl not to forget him. The entire film is sung in French which is refreshingly different and amusing. The colours are fairly bland whilst in the cafe before he leaves, this shows their sorrow over him leaving. The image of the girl on the platform as the train moves on is lonely and effects the audience emotionally. This film is touching as you can see their love for each other and how hard it is for the two of them to separate. Overall, I enjoyed this extract because of it's French style.

Bande A Parte ~ Jean Luc Godard 1964

This clip is of a few people dancing in a restaurant in France. The clip goes for 6 minutes and contains no dialogue from the actors, but instead has a narrator commenting on their thoughts every few moments by pausing the action.
The extract doesn't send out a particular point without the context of the entire film, however it captures the audience's attention due to how bizarre the action is.

Superman and Paula Brown's New Snowsuit

This short narrative gave us an insight into the war from a young girl's point of view, showing the innocence lost during this time.
The little girl is safe and secure in her world of innocence, surrounded by her own daydreams. The small girl's world slowly crumbles as she is exposed to images of the war and has all the other children gang up on her after being wrongly accused of pushing Paula into the mud and ruining her new snowsuit. The young girl feels victimized when even her own mother and uncle don't believe her.
The girl's adoration for her uncle is obvious as she looks up to him and enjoys spending time with him. To her, Uncle Frank is superman and is holding her world together.
