After the success of Twilight, Hardwicke opted not to return for the movie's 2009 sequel New Moon. Beginning in 2008 with Lords of Dogtown director Catherine Hardwicke’s sleeper hit Twilight, the Twilight Saga was a five-film franchise that adapted the teen paranormal romance novels of the same name by author Stephenie Meyer into blockbuster movies.Īlthough critics were largely unimpressed by the Twilight movies, the massive global fanbase of the franchise turned out in droves to see the story of Bella Swan, a small-town girl, and Edward Cullen, her ageless vampire love interest, on the big screen.

The first in a series isn’t always the strongest, and this one provides a decent structure for future events.Released in 2010, the third Twilight movie Eclipse is easily the most underrated of the franchise’s five films thanks to its love triangle, fast-paced action, and involving backstory flashbacks.
The film did its job, and there is always room for growth in the next few films that are said to being made (new moon and eclipse). Overall, I’d have to say that nothing reached 1my expatiations, although nothing was horrible. When we started shooting there were no clear markers on how this film was meant to be structured in terms of cinematography’ and that made the film in some sense appear to be dated and uninspired. The director, Catherine Hardwicke said that ‘we were not settled on a specific visual rhythm and the film looks uneven. And by using non dietetic and dietetic shots furthermore enhanced the climax a certain scenes in the movie. Applying shots such as close ups, pans, birds eye view, gave the sense of action and made the movie more fascinating. They also insured that they used skewed camera angles to make the film more like a movie than a music video. Producers and directors used the ‘grainy grey filter’ in order to give a gothic dark atmosphere to the movie. While Twilight is about a vampire, the film itself is a romantic comedy rather than a vampire/horror/action. Twilight had a reasonable story line and it had some action scenes to keep me entertained but I felt it could have had a more spellbinding plot seeing as how the film was about blood thirsty vampires. The theme of a love affair between predator and prey, “the lion falling in love with the lamb” (as said in the book), did not get revealed enough in the movie compared to what the book had showed. In some cases of a book being made into a film, it is the book that is more fascinating, for the reason that books appear to use more words of description that a movie could not be able to portray. For the reason that whilst reading a book anyone can make their imagination run, but when watching a movie all the thinking is done for the viewer. Personally I would think that the book was better than the movie. On the other hand Twilight is a complete success, so much so that most of the film’s flaws work within the context of the story.
