Opening/Closing Shots

Tools    





A few months ago I created a Vimeo video that showcased the first and final shots of 55 films side-by-side. You can find said video by searching "First and Final Frames".

I am currently in the process of making a sequel to this video and wanted to get some suggestions on films that I should include. I am looking for films with opening/closing shots that share some sort of significance to one another--whether they be very similar, vastly different, or just equally striking. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!



It could be nice with some names on the films in the video.

Didn't finish it so don't know if you have it - but Dawn of the Planet of the Apes is a good choice for your sequel.



The new one will have titles! There is a list of films used in the video description. And yes, Dawn would be a good one. Just having trouble deciding if the animated map technically counts as the first shot (rather than the eyes).
