Dear John (2010): First Two Minutes
This movie starts off with the lead male's voice, he takes the audience into a journey while he is telling the story, at the same time, it is visible he is in a still position suffering from pain. At the very beginning of the film the camera angle is from the lead actors perspective, as if the audience is looking through his eyes, this makes the audience have a glimpse of his view. As the film progresses onto one minute and a half the scene changes to when he was a little boy, it was obvious he was having a flashback. The lighting was very natural over the two-minute course, the clever trick the director probably utilized was moving the camera angle diagonally-up above the lead actor's face to become one with the natural light of the sun rays, which in-turn created a perfectly orchestrated shot, which also contributed to the optimism of the audience.
