First and Final Frames Part II

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!

Great job. It's so inspiring that I've made my own version. I hope you like it: https://vimeo.com/259957910

Yes! You put RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES into this one! I remember commenting on this in the Part I section a few years back, and you didn't want to include that there due to the title sequence. Glad you changed your mind for this one: those shots in RISE are breathtaking, and one of the best examples of first and final frames EVER.

I remember you! But yes, I finally came around to the idea that title sequences should count as the first "frame." Opened up a lot more possibilities!

Indeed. In all my writing of late, I've begun to incorporate this technique to - I think - pretty good effect. Check your private messages; have sent something your way.

This is truly beautiful. A bit disappointed that you didn't include The Fountain too since you used Together We Will Live Forever which is its OST.

Jacob T. Swinney - 9 years ago
Thanks so much! And believe me, I wanted to. The shots just didn't quite work with the video--that final shot fades in and out of white rather quickly. But I liked the song just too much to get rid of it.

Thanks so much! Glad to hear you enjoyed. I would love to do Part III, because there are a few really good ones that I had to exclude from this one. And you are welcome! I know a bunch of people were wishing I had done titling on the first video.

Thanks for another beautiful collection. Really makes me want to go back and rewatch some of those films. A few I haven't seen so now I have something to look forward to. I really enjoy the films whose first scene and last scene match up almost perfectly, it gives it a cyclical form and beauty.

Jacob T. Swinney - 9 years ago
You are welcome! And thank you! I enjoy those as well--something very poetic about films that do that.
