The Movie that I have chosen is Twilight. I have chosen this movie because i think that all the cast and crew did a finaminal job with creating this movie. The clip that stood out to me the most would have to be the Crash sene. In this sene you will see Bella being saved by Edward from getting hit by a van that was skidding on ice in the school parking lot. This is the first clip in the movie that leaves the aduance guessing on what Edward really is. Edward shows his abnormal strengeth and speed and leaves Bella speachless and confused. However it also leaves his other siblings angry because they think that he will expose them as the vampires that they truly are. Twilight first hit the Big screan November 21, 2008 and has reached over 191.4 million dollors in the box office. This movie as a little bit of everything for the viewers to enjoy, such as horror, romance, mystery, suspense, science fiction and also fantasy. The Dirctor Catherine Hardwicke whos real name is Helen Catherine Hardwicke did and amazing job catching the viewers eye in every scene. Catherine Hardwicke was born on October 21,1955 in Cameron Texas. She has also directed other movies such as Thirteen(2003), Red Riding Hood(2011), and Dogtown(2005). She is not just the film dierector, she also showed her talents as being part of the production design and also as a screen writting. Along with Catherine Hardwicke as part of the prduction design there was also Craig Cannold as the Production supervisor, Mary Courtney as the unit production manager for the second unit is Michele Imperato, Angel Pine as the post production supervisor, and Robert West as the production supervisor for the additional photography.Also the art in this film was directed by Christopher Brown and Ian Phillips. Along with all the behind the sceens involement in this clip there is also the on screen cast that includes Kristen Stewart as Bella (who is the main character and Edwards love interest), Robert Pattinson as Edward(who plays a 109 year old high school vampire in love with Bella Swan), Ashley Greene as Alice (Edwards vampire sister), Nikki Reed as Rosile (Edwards adopted vampire sister) Jackson Rathbone (Alice's Husband who is also a Vampire) and also Gregory Tyree Boyce who plays Tyler (the driver of the van that almost hits Bella). The Lighting in this scene was dark and gloomy and cold , like it makes it look like there is a storm thats about to pass or it is about to come weather snow or rain. The way the lighting in this clip helped give the viewers a sense of being cold because of the weather being so gloomy and the ice and snow in the parking lot, witch is what made Tyle skid his car when turning the corner. Also with the lighting in this scene it helps the vampires ( Edward, Alice, Rosile, and Jasper) stand out more because they are so pail. The mood that the light gives off is sort of cold and also dreary. I think over all the light in this clip fits into the scene very well. It makes it beleivable that Tyler is actuallys skidding on ice and and also the way the drak clouds are and how everyone in this clips is wearing winter gear it also makes it look really cold. In this clip the charactors are at thier high school in their parking lot getting ready to head home after school. Everyone is hanging out by thier cars talking amoungst themselfs and other students, some are even getting into thier cars to head home or

Movie Review Essay

Alisha Hefner Movie Review 10/31/12 Prof. Jackson Twilight In 2005, author Stephanie Meyer created a fascinating story with a simple, even generic plot. Comparable to Shakespeare's 'Romeo and Juliet,' Meyer's 'Twilight' revolves around a young girl who falls for the high school outcast. But instead of the families, it is the species that alienates one from the other. “Twilight”– based on the first book in the best-selling series by Stephenie Meyer – is a faithful adaptation that will satiate…
