A little beyond the first anniversary of the Opening Shots Project, I figured it was past time to compile a handy, one-page index to all the contributions. The Opening Shots category page takes forever to load, so now you can bring up a handy single-page list (just click "continue reading" to get the whole thing). The Opening Shots Index can always be found in the Categories listing at right.

Oh, and the Opening Shots Project itself isn't over, not by a long shot!

David Bordwell on establishing shots -- and Opening Shots

epigraphs

"There's nothing I like less than bad arguments for a view that I hold dear." -- Daniel Dennett

"Cinema is a matter of what's in the frame and what's out." -- Martin Scorsese (2007, but I've been harping on it for years)

"If you know exactly what you're going to say before you say it, why bother? (Also, holds true for writing and filmmaking.)" -- Errol Morris
