Mis-en-Scene
I have decided to do the final scene from Furious 7. After much thought and delaying the decision until Sunday night i decided that i was going to try this one after all. I understand that this scene isn't exactly one of the easier ones to use considering they had to film the tribute with Pauls brothers and CGI technology. But when the assignment came up this was the first thing i could think of and i am going to stick to it. The scene starts out over the ocean and comes cruising in to find paul and the crew sitting at the beach. When Pauls son comes over to him and he has to set aside his visiting and start doing dad things. Then the most important part of the entire scene takes place. The music is entirely responsible for making the tribute to Paul Walker what it was in this film. Granted anytime you take peoples emotions and especially with a true passing of one of the main characters of a franchise film like the fast and furious it is going to  strike some chords with people. The Art Director and Producer both had their inputs for the final scene and how to do the tribute in an effective manner but not take away from the entire film. By making this the final scene i believe they did the best job they could at not taking away from the film. But if you ask anyone what they remember about the film they will always bring up the tribute. there were flaws in the tribute and it didn't exactly flow great with transitioning to different flashbacks but they had to try and paint a picture that could explain how close the crew grew over the years. One thing i noticed that was wrong was the car sound of pauls car as he pulls even with Vin Diesel. It is the sound of a car from an earlier movie and if you watch it closely you will see it doesn't match up. The director of Art and producer saved this entire scene by wisely choosing a song that would draw out emotion in the viewers. by placing this song with this scene everything was saved and turned out to be one of the best tributes that i can remember for a single person. Here is the ending to the film on a youtube clip https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YgI9GtlAsUA .

there is a better tribute put together on youtube that i liked more but it wasn't used because it didn't fit as well with the film. The one on this site shows bloopers and explains the kind of guy Paul was to work with. www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8hveO_IY7k
