example dawn scenes using available light?

[Keith Miller]

Hi everyone,

 

Can anyone possibly recommend any films and scenes shot using available light at dawn? Perfect case would ideally cover pre-dawn through dawn transition but any recommendations would be much appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance!

Keith

Hard to tell if a scene was actually shot at dawn, I believe "The Deer Hunter" may have a couple, and the opening of "Donnie Darko" looks like it was.

Rocky's first run in the wee hours of the morning:

 

Crappy upload, but it was the only one I could find of this scene.

 

Also you should check out Days of Heaven:

A big portion was shot at dusk. Like the Rocky scene, they didn't bother balancing for daylight when it got dark because they needed all the film speed possible.

Thank you both for your replies!
