Title sequence - Reservoir Dogs

The title sequence of the film Reservoir Dogs follows a similar formula of Quentin Tarantino's films, where the credits are in a yellow and either on top of the scene or on black background. This makes the film instantly recognisable to people who are fans of him. Like his other films, his name is the first thing shown on the screen, reading "A film by Quentin Tarantino". This is the followed ball the main actors/actresses names and the name of the film. 

The start of the scene has non-diegetic sound of narration from one of the characters, but it isn'tclear to us, the viewer which character is speaking. The scene then traditions to a black screen with Tarantino's name, and with this the music changes to a face paced soundtrack, which ha connotations of the crime Thriller genre behind it. 

W e get an extreme close up of each character, as the men walk along the pathway in slow motion. When the camera zooms in on them, the actors name flashes up in yellow font underneath. This is a way of the audience being able to tell who is played by who, and make us aware of any he Hollywood stars in the film, like Steve Buscemi. We also see Tim Roth, who is recognisable to any fans of Tarantino's film. The majority of the men are dressed in suits with one dressed in polo shirt and the other in a shell suit jacket. 

As the men walk off into the distance, the word "are" appears beneath their feet, showing that these are the main characters of the film. This is then followed by "Reservoir Dogs" appearing in yellow across the screen, rising up from the bottom and stopping at the top, similar to Pulp Fiction. 

After, the screen goes black and the names of people like the producers and editors appears on the screen in yellow, and the music continues in the background. This then fades to black and the men of the lead producer appears on the screen and the screen once again fades black.
