4min 35sec clip - #first and #final movie scenes - part 2
First and Final Frames Part II from Jacob T. Swinney on Vimeo.
text from source site "After numerous requests, I finally decided to create a sequel to "First and Final Frames". Part II plays the opening and closing shots of 70 films side-by-side. Like the first video, some of the opening shots are strikingly similar to the final shots, while others are vastly different--both serving a purpose in communicating various themes. The side-by-side comparison can communicate an entire story, but also allows us to develop new theories about a given film. So once again, what can we learn from examining the first and final frames of a film? My deepest thanks to everyone for the praise and support on the first video!View Part 1 in 8th Nov 2020 post

Some of the opening shots are strikingly similar to the final shots, while others are vastly different--both serving a purpose in communicating various themes. Some show progress, some show decline, and some are simply impactful images used to begin and end a film.
