Welcome to “Friday Favorites” which highlight some of my favorite movie-related things.
Joss Whedon gets a lot of praise for his writing, often at the expense of his skills as a director. He is able to get creative and varied performances out of his actors, though some of that can also be attributed to his writing ability. However, seeing Serenity on the big screen again reminded me how creative he is with a camera. So I decided to take today’s Friday Favorite to go beyond just my usual one item and instead highlight all of my favorite shots from Serenity. Some of these are great examples of Joss’s use of visual storytelling, others are creative or unconventionally framed, and some are just ones that I like the way they look. And while some of the credit has to go Jack N. Green, Serenity‘s cinematographer, when you listen to Joss’s commentary on the film and read his script it becomes apparent how many of these shots he planned far in advance.
