As media studies analysis

1. Reservoir dogs

2. Camera work
• The first camera work is a mid shot of the people on the
table walking through the door
• The second use of camera work is a tracking shot of the
main characters walking towards two cars then it has a
close up of all the characters walking in the shot
• Finally we get a wide shot from behind the main actors
walking towards the car

3. Sound
• The sound in the opening credits was all non-diegetic
• The first sound was of a man talking just as the people get
up to walk out the door but he was narrating over I
• The rest of the opening credits sequence sound was a nondiegetic song playing over the background of the scene this
song was from the – George Baker Selection called White
Green Bag.

4. Editing
• Ident of director was shown first over a black background
(Quentin Tarantino)
• There was a camera fade when the people walk out the door
and it changes to a tracking shot
• The tracking shot was edited as it was put into slow motion to
add effect on the scene to make these people look cool.
• Names of the actors faded in to the foreground of the actors
face to show who it is.
• The Title of the film rises from the bottom of the film to the top
of the frame so it is clearly visible
• Finally there is a fade then the background changes to black and
the rest of the cast and crew are named.

5. Mise-en-Scene
• The style of cars and the building makes you think0 this was
made to represent either the 70’s,80’s or 90’s
• The style of the suits they all also wore were quite old
fashioned representing the time period
• A lot of the cast are wearing glasses to represent that they
are the bosses of the area and if anyone has a problem
they talk to them about it.
