Reservoir Dogs Pre Production

For our first major assignment for AS Media Studies were put into groups of three and instructed to remake the opening titles of a movie of our choice in order to help us prepare for the filming of the opening of a thriller. My group consisted of Lara Foch and Josh Jameson-Wallis. After half an hour of searching for a suitable opening title sequence we were still undecided and were ultimately given 'Reservoir Dogs.' Tarantino's Neo Noir classic was as appealing as it was intimidating to do as we knew we would have to work hard in order to make a fitting tribute to the opening sequence of the movie. We knew that the filming had to take place on the school grounds but their was nothing unrealistic in the opening scene for us to recreate, it was especially helpful that their was an almost identical blue pickup truck at school that features in the opening of the movie. We created a storyboard and ensemble a cast in order to move the production forward and we were given the date of Friday 4th of October to film.
