Arrival film breakdown with storyboards ►► bit.ly/2wgIxOc Arrival (2016) is a science fiction movie that found a new language, literally. Director Denis Villeneuve (Sicario, Blade Runner 2049, Prisoners) brings his unique brand of filmmaking to the table to keep up guessing. In Arrival, aliens have come to Earth, seeking communication and it is up to a linguist played by Amy Adams and a physicist played by Jeremy Renner to lead the effort. The end result is a masterclass not only in science fiction movies, but filmmaking and directing. In this scene from Arrival, Amy Adams and Jeremy Renner’s characters meet the heptapods for the first time. Unsure of the aliens’ motives, they proceed with caution — they are fascinated by the heptapods but inextricably drawn to them. So, how does Denis Villeneuve create a situation that balances fear and intrigue? Using simple shot choices and frame compositions, Denis Villeneuve brings Arrival to the top of science fiction movies. He keeps the heptapods mysterious yet familiar, threatening yet passive — and the overall experience of watching Arrival is a thrilling mix of fear and intrigue. Any student of directing and filmmaking can learn a lot from Denis Villeneuve and Arrival, one of the best science fiction movies in recent years. #filmtheory #storyboards #filmmaking — Music by Artlist ► utm.io/umJx Music by MusicBed ► bit.ly/2Fnz9Zq — SUBSCRIBE to StudioBinder’s YouTube channel! ►► bit.ly/2hksYO0 Looking for a project management platform for your filmmaking?
