Found Scene

My found scene is the beginning of Forrest Gump. It is a long single shot, camera gently and aimlessly move around with the feather. We could know it’s a small town from church, buildings, people walking, trees and so on. Finally, the feather is picked up by the leading character, Forrest Gump. Because he is picking the feather up, we can see his shoes, his suitcase and stuff in that case. Finally the camera has a close up shoot of his face. The character is very well and naturally introduced. Also, the shot of his shoes and suitcase make the audience feel curious about this character. I also want to talk about the next scene. The camera zooms in very slowly focusing on the bus station, at the same time the main character starts talking and introducing himself, ‘Im Forrest Gump…’. Gump is talking about his childhood, the camera zooms out this time, which is a very good transaction from last scene.
