I am obsessive with film detail, one such detail is the idea of the beginning and ending of films having a connection. As everyone knows the basic to writing any story is having your beginning middle and end to a plot. But when it comes to transferring that story onto the screen often the visuals can take away from the plot, but one such visual trick that connects the written plot to the visuals is to have this connection between the beginning and end.This can also help with the audience seeing the transformation that the protagonist has been through so you can compare the difference before and after you know the story.
Do you even need to watch the entire movie, or could you get the gist simply by looking at the first and last frame? That's the question Mico Toledo and his creative partner Juan Sevilla asked themselves. They placed the first and last frames side by side from a catalogue of films for their project Begin/End.The project is breaking down narratives of film and how they are relayed to the audience, to discover which directors can truly tell a story in just one picture.
