Research and Development of Ideas

In this clip, one can see my inspiration for my shots of the Parker character walking through his environment to his destination. Danny Boyle used this same effect to indicate that his character, Renton, is dominated by his environment and is in a state of isolation and loneliness. Also, this shot is very symmetrical and reveals Boyle's background of Fine Art studies and photography. Due to this, he is obviously very technically accomplished. Also, he applies the same concept in "28 Days Later" as he was here also trying to present an apocalyptic view of the urban landscape in which his character is dwarfed by his surroundings.

Amateur Film Maker replicated the opening scene of "28 Days Later between 4 and 5am on a summer morning with excellent results.

Footage from actual film "28 Days Later."
Made in 2001. Has since become a cult classic. The cinema photography for this film was done by Anthony Don Mantel and this is absolutely breathtaking in the apocalyptic opening scenes and won an award on its own.
