Video Montage of the Greatest Opening Shots in Film

View fullsize

"The Art of the Opening Shot" is a video montage created by Casper Christensen of Filmnørdens Hjørne, and it reminds us of some of the greatest opening shots of films that leave a lasting impression. The opening shot is what launches the audiences on the movie's adventure. The video editor says:

"First impressions last and these movies know it. Fascinated by opening shots, I edited together a montage of some of the greatest of its kind."

This is a wonderfully cut video montage that is a must-watch for movie geeks. After you watch it, let us know what your favorite opening shot in a film is. A few of my favorites included in the video are from The Shining, Tron: Legacy, and of course Star Wars. 

First impressions last and these movies know it. (Enjoyed the music by Eric Whitacre? Get it here: https://itunes.apple.com/dk/album/light-gold/id393629431)
