ST - Lord of War




I know this isnt particularly teen drama but I thought the opening was excellent and it should be shared with the lads.


The camera follows a single bullet during production and ends at its eventual use. This is a great example of an object taking on a meaning and becoming an icon.


What I thought was interesting is how the names, credits ectera are incoperated into the natural action of this film. For example as the lid is being put onto a box filled with bullets, the screen goes black and a name appears at the same time.


As well as this the title of the film, "Lord of War", instantly defines the genre as action, thriller to the audience.
