Iconic Movie Moments

Iconic moments happen and are created in many different ways. Moments and images that are iconic in my mind are often associated with movies. I have picked out a few images that I think are truly iconic and something that everyone would recognize. 

Another reason I have picked these images is that they are something that I think would be easy to re-create. That is something that is really important, I don’t want to set my goals to high as I really want my images to look as close to the original as possible.

Dirty Dancing

Surely everyone has seen Dirty Dancing and knows this image. It may not be the most famous from the movie but it’s one of my personal favorites. The detail created from the light coming through the windows creates detail on the floor in the background, and therefor adding more detail to the whole image. I also like the framing of the image, the way that the 2 subjects take up the majority of the space. The use of black costume for the male and white for the woman makes him appear as a bad influence and maybe her as pure and innocent. This is almost like villain and hero in the same image.     

Pulp Fiction

I feel like there are a number of scenes from the cult movie Pulp Fiction that are iconic. And the ones that I think are most iconic are of the character ‘Mia’ played by Una Thurman. The simple styling, with short black bob hair is something that is associated with the film and instantly recognizable. 

I really like the scenes shot in the diner. I think however trying to find a location like this would be difficult. Trying to find a location that resembles the American diner that is in the film, and also being able to shoot there.
