Film analysis

I'm going to analyse Reservoir Dogs because that is a similar film to ours, Reservoir Dogs is a crime gone wrong film, as is ours.

In the opening scene of Reservoir Dogs the characters are sat in a cafe just having general conversation, the cafe scene is a good establishing point in the film, we see all the characters, but we have no idea of how the plot will unfold.

At the beginning of Reservoir Dogs the audience does not yet know the story line, our production is similar to this because the plot is not discovered until the boot is opened and the dead body is found, before this point the audience is unaware of what is to come.

Reservoir Dogs uses a song at the beginning to set the mood, the song is cheerful and does not reflect what is about to come. our film is similar, the mood contrasts from action to thriller, whilst driving, when the audience are unaware the music is upbeat, the music changes when the body is found and the mood changes. Reservoir Dogs use a cut scene from when the music is playing and when they are leaving the cafe to when one of them is laid in the back covered in their own blood, this changes the mood of the film instantly and fills the viewers with shock and awe.
