Image development - Thelma & Louise

Ford Thunderbird



I have vectorized The Ford Thunderbird used in Thelma & Louise which my bullet will transform into.

James Bond Quantum of solace intro



the James bond introduction sequences are all very similar, they usually use silhouettes and shadows and then what ever imagery is fitting to the subject of the film. i really like the constantly moving camera angles and the way that it is one continues shot.

Mad Men Opening Credits



I like the aesthetic of this opening credit sequence and thought it would be a good reference to look at in the creation of my own.

Usable Quotes

Here are a selection of film quotes which i may use in my sequence. i will continue looking at these examples noting there soundtracks, tone, colours, imagery and quote content.

Top 10 Parodied Film Quotes (The task at hand)

I have decided to focus my study of film parodies on specifically parodied quotes. going through my list i have found that i have the most examples of these rather than other features such as camera movements, sound effects and whole scenes which are also frequently parodied. a more specific focus will make it easier to communicate clearly.

what i do not want to do is focus on type. as i am using quotes i realise that this would seem the logical route. but i refuse.

i need to ensure a fun/humorous tone of voice as parodies are usually in jest whilst also appealing to serious film enthusiasts/geeks. and remembering not to reveal the top 10 but to communicate the idea of ranking iconic quotes through the use of imagery and sound.
