Preliminary test planning

Bladerunner - Establishing Shot

This shot sets the sci-fi theme for the film, and gives a nice impression of a futuristic version of Los Angeles.  The fire coming out of the top of some of the buildings suggests danger or corruption, which also sets the scene of the movie.



Inception - Close-up

This shot puts a lot of emphasis on the spinning object, although the shot isn't technically focused on it;  this is achieved by the contrast of the table compared to the spinning object.

Bounty Hunter -

There is only one character in this shot which focuses our attention to her.

The Expendables - Longshot

This shot is effective because, it shows the entire scene and the impact of the explosion to more than one section; which could not be achieved with another shot.

300 - Action Shot

This shot is effective becuase it shows the authourity of the Spartans over the Persians.  The shade of the background creates an effective contrast against the cliff, and the men fighting.
