Resservoir Dogs

This is a crime film directed by Quentin Tarantino. It has the themes of Trust, Violence and friendship. This is a film about a group of men who pull off a heist but it goes wrong. You never see the heist however you can picture it in your head by what they said. The story mostly focuses on Mr.Pink, Mr.White, Mr.Orange and Mr.Yellow. They assume that someone had been a rat as the police arrived too early. For this is shall look at the cinematography and misc en scene.

Near the start where Mr.White and Mr.Pink are talking to each other about the idea that there is a rat amoungst them. While they are discussing this in the background there are three pots of coloured powder. These are orange, pink and white. They are meant to be representing the three different people in the warehouse they are in. The white and pink ones are together while the orange one is by itself showing that Mr.Orange is the rat as he is not with them he is in fact with the police. This is hidden however the audience will of have known this already before he says.

In another part we see Mr.Orange's origin. This is to continue the trend already as they had done it earlier for other people. In one part of Mr.Orange's origin we have him rehearsing a story so that he'll be believed and be undercover. When he is rehearsing this we have a mid shot with very little backdrop meaning that he is having to live in very cramp conditions. This would be telling the audience that he may be doing this dangerous job so thatb he will be able to get out and into some better living space.
