For

Blade Runner

Tears in the Rain.

Run time: 2:09 minutes.

"I have… seen things you people wouldn't believe… Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those… moments… will be lost in time, like...  tears… in... rain. Time… to die…"

As this is only a short clip I shall also be doing a description of the camera work, position of actors and taking note of anything that I found to be interesting and of note in regards to my own project. 

To begin with I would like too say to anyone who hasn't seen Blade Runner... GO SEE BLADE RUNNER it is a fantastic film, albeit not the genre I'm doing, with beautifully crafted aesthetics and a story line that will leave you thinking about its intricacies for years.

Anyway...
