In this scene of Live Free or Die Hard, Bruce Willis' character takes out a helicopter with a plane. This scene is pretty famous, because it was played over and over in the trailer. The lines were " You just took out a helicopter with a car!, Yea I ran outta bullets"

Bridge to Terabithia




This scene was an interesting one, because this whole movie was based on the imagination of two children. This scene is a long shot showing their made up kingdom Terabithia. The giant ogre you see is actually their made up version of a bully at their school. This movie has some interesting twists, but i thought it had a rather surprising ending.

this scene shows the two children opening their "magic pouch" and shining a beam onto a set of keys they have been looking for. Again, this whole movie was based solely on the imagination of two children.

Pursuit of Happiness




In this scene, it shows Will Smith as a father grabbing a bite to eat with his son. This shot would be a long shot, as you can see more than their waist and up. This movie is a very touching movie, as Will Smith tries to get a job that will turn his life around. He is struggling to make enough to feed his son, so this job means everything to him.

Terminator 2


This long shot from T2 was a very popular image. In this scene the terminator is escaping from a exploding fuel tanker. This scene was a big deal because when this movie was produced, not many movies had such special effects. the entire shot is filled with the explosion in the background, while u see the terminator escaping right in front of the flames.

Hot Fuzz


In this medium shot, you can see the main character from the waist and above. This shot is interesting because he plays a cop carrying way too many weapons. In this scene, he is about to shoot up a town, because the entire town is responsible for the murders of its citizen. This movie is a comedy, but tried to take a serious approach to it, which made it amusing.

The Lake House


This scene from The Lake House is a good establishing shot, because it allows the viewer to see where the movie takes place. It shows the house as well as the mail box where part of the plot is centered. you can also see one of the main characters in the picture. although most of this shot shows the house, and the lake, the viewer does not find out til much later that the mailbox plays a large role.

Cars


this long shot was nice shot because it displays the environment from far away. it shows many details, and allows the viewer to see everything from the "big picture." although this movie was created using all computer graphics, many parts still look very realistic. the sky, and trees, and some of the canyons in the distant.

TMNT the movie

TMNT the movie is based off the old classic 80's cartoon. Teenage mutant ninja turtles was a popular cartoon when i was a kid. the movie shows 4 tutrle brothers that were trained to be ninjas. They are out fighting crime at night, and stop the evil ninja clan known as the foot clan. this computer animated film has lots of action and comedy. It really protrays the classic cartoon in this movie
.
That scene above is a classic scene because it shows all four turtles in a mid shot, while u can get a good feel for each of the turtles by looking at their facial expressions. Michelangelo has the freaked out expression, and is grabbing Donatello in this scene because htey are about to get smashed by a huge monkey.
