Traffic


Fast and Furious 6 (2013)
3:43sec
Director:Simon West 

In this film the film maker explores the theme of traffic by disobeying the rules of the road. The two characters Dom and Letty are racing against each other in front of the public eye on the open roads of London. They're both speeding along swerving from other cars on the road. The editing and filming of the film has been done in a way that makes it look like they're actually racing against each other, using a variety of camera angles and shooting in different places. I love this film because its filmed in a way that makes it very intense and the audio of the film is also quite intriguing hearing the roar of the engines of the cars. In the clip it makes you feel like you want to be doing that racing down the roads but in reality it would be quite terrifying. 

Run Lola Run


Run Lola Run (1998)
Directed by Tom Tykwer 


The genre of the film is Crime fiction, thriller, action and drama.Lola gets a phone call from her boyfriend Manny. He lost 100,000 DM in a subway train that belongs to a very bad guy. Lola then had only 20 minutes to raise this amount and meet Manni. Otherwise, he will rob a store to get the money. She then goes threw three different scenario's which will then determine what her future will be. The editing of the film was made in a way which bent the time space of the film mixing the past future and present which was split up into scenarios putting the scenes out of an orderly fashion. I didn't find the film that appealing because i'm not a big fan of foreign films.
