blue velvet

I tried to pay a lot of attention to the first four minutes of the clip and take as many notes as possible but when we started talking about our observations, I realized I missed a lot of them. I did notice that everything was shown to perfection to show normal everyday life but I missed the whole patriotic scene in the beginning. When other people started commenting on what they had noticed, I realized that some of them were pretty obvious yet I still missed it. I liked that the director filed from top moving down in a lot of the scenes. I especially liked that when they children were crossing the street they were lined up from tallest to shortest.

I also noticed that the director spent time on the 'normal' everyday lifestyles but moved away quickly from the shot of gun. Sometimes it takes more than a couple times of watching before details are noticed.
