Out of a selection of film openings to recreate, our group decided on the 'Reservoir Dogs' opening sequence, because it's simple enough that we can still replicate the content in the shots and yet the film is iconic enough for our interpretation to still be recognised as a relation to the original. Remaking the sequence will aid our understanding of the importance of shot and title lengths, while also compelling us to consider the framing of each shot, specifically when it comes to shot type and mise-en-scene.
Luckily, because this is also an independent film, 'Reservoir Dogs' opening is quite basic, in relation to location, with it being set on a high street to incorporate an element of verisimilitude and symbolise the gritty and realistic tone of the rest of the narrative.
