Moving Narrative Mood Reel

Clips used:
'The Castle of Cagliostro' - Car chase
 - The main inspiration for my piece. I used this scene specifically because it captured the essence of the film with the over the top action, jazz soundtrack (which carries over as the music for the whole reel) and the characters showing off their skills (Lupin driving and Jigen shooting).

'Daredevil' - Hallway fight scene
 - 'Daredevil' features a mix of gritty realistic action and classic comic book fighting. The hallway scene stuck out to me as the most memorable for the great choreography, the fact that it's only a single shot and the added slapstick that I picked out specifically.

'Guardians of the Galaxy' - Star-Lord fleeing from Korath
 - Star-Lord is a thief just like my protagonist and the opening scene of the film where he pulls off his latest heist, just barely escaping from Korath the Pursuer.

'Reservoir Dogs' - Mr Pink's shoot out
 - 'Reservoir Dogs' is by definition a heist film so showing a clip of the actually event taking place would be a good thing to convey especially as it shows one man going up against a group of people and managing to take on most of them.

'The Blues Brothers' - Mall car chase
 - One of the most famous car chases in film thanks to its over the top action and jazz soundtrack, just like 'The Castle of Cagliostro'.

'Oldboy' - Hallway scene
 - This iconic scene brings about the idea of one man taking on a massive group of people and coming out victorious. It's this level of one sided action that I am trying to convey in my film.

'The Lone Ranger' - Firing Line scene
 - My character, Drake, is basically a modern day cowboy so I wanted to convey this with a western that came out very recently. 'The Lone Ranger' also features overblown action set pieces and a diverse duo as the focus.

'Skyfall' - Bond fighting Patrice
 - Again, reinforcing the well choreographed fist fights that my film would feature.

'Quantum of Solace' - Opening
 - 'Making strong use of car chases combined with shoot outs. The fast paced editing makes the scene even more exciting.
