1. All of the films above are in my list of favourite films. A similarity between them all is an effective opening. The Departed being my favourite opening from all of these films and my favourite
scene of all time. So I will obviously take a lot of inspiration from this scene and try to replicate some of the elements of it in my work. Such as the use of voiceover, tracking shots, iconic dialogue
and iconic music.
