We were tasked to recreate the opening sequence from Reservoir Dogs (Quentin Tarantino, 1992). The scene consists of the characters walking in slow motion to a car. It focuses in on each character individuallywith accompanying title cards. The scene contains no diegetic sound and is accompanied by the non-diegetic song Little Green Bag by George Baker Selection.
In groups of eight, we spent a lesson planning the logistics of filming. The discussion included costumes, props, filming locations and shots. The two chosen filming locations were the canteen and school entrance.
After overcoming a few small hurdles such as creative disputes, the filming process progressed smoothly and we captured all the necessary footage after one lesson.
Making use of transitions, key frames, overlay titles and slow motion I edited the film together using LumaFusion and produced a final product as accurate to the original as possible.
