This document provides a detailed analysis of various film techniques used in the opening scene of Reservoir Dogs. It examines the titling, camera movements, shot framing, camera angles, mise-en-scene elements including lighting, location, costumes, editing techniques, sound design, and actor positioning and movement. Key points include the use of easy-to-read titling over a black background, tracking camera movements that pan between characters to show them as equals, close-up shots that focus on faces, daytime high-key lighting that makes the characters seem non-threatening, and matched cuts with dialogue but no reverse shots showing who is speaking.
