Plan for our film remake (Reservoir Dogs)

Group 30 were assigned to create a remake of Reservoir Dogs film opening. Our remake of the opening will be around 2 minutes long (like most of the other film openings out there). 

Who will be doing what?

After watching the film opening, our group have decided that the characters played in our remake will be all females as majority of us in the group are girls. Also because the cast in the original film opening only included people of the same gender (male), so we will be using the opposite gender instead.

Our group doesn't have enough people to play the roles of the 8 main characters shown as we only have 4 members, so we will only work with what we've got! This means that Shireen, Larah and Amina will be playing the roles of the original male characters in the opening.

...and what will Quddus be doing? well he will obviously be behind the camera filming the remake!
After filming the shots we need for the remake, all of us in the group will edit the opening.

Where will it be set?

We have decided to film our remake of the opening just outside the college, near Owen's field as it will make it easier for us to do so considering how close it is. Also because the area has a pathway which we can use to do the slow motion walking, like in the original film opening.

What props will be used?

From making a good observation of the original film opening, our group have decided to use a few props which we thought are important in the making of it, as they will set the mood for the audience and allow us to get in role of the characters. The props are: dark jackets, black shades and a fake cigarette.

What techniques will be used in camera and editing?

We will follow the original film opening and use the template of the storyboard that we created in order to help us use the different techniques that we gathered from watching the original opening: tracking, close up shots, mid shots, wide shots and slow motion editing. We will be filming with a small hand held camera whilst we are re-creating and shooting the Reservoir Dogs opening sequence to show our process.
