Henley Sequence

One of my favorite scenes from 'The Social Network' film was the Henley Rowing scene. I just came across this link where you can see the whole sequence. The tilt shift photography makes the background and everything surrounding the race fall out of focus bringing your attention to the rowers. I like the close up shots of their faces as they move in and out of focus. The scene is really well edited. http://www.a52.com/index.php?f=deta&n=327

The Social Network

I really enjoyed seeing the social network. The film was directed by David Fincher and is beautifully filmed and edited. One scene that really grabbed my attention was the Henley boat race, which is filmed using tilt shift photography techniques. The plot is all about the creators of facebook and the disputes they had over the creation of it. Jesse Eisenberg plays the character of Mark Zukerberg really well, he reminds me a little of Michael Cera. Its amazing to see how quickly the site expanded, and makes me feel pretty lame for being on it all the time! The trailer is below, if you haven't already seen it go! But don't go mid day during half term as you will find its full of kids that won't shut up!
