Actors Quentin has worked with:

The Trunk & Hood POV Shot

Quentin Tarantino has trademarked the trunk shot camera angle and he's used it in every movie he has directed. He also uses reverse trunk shots with characters being watched from outside the trunk

InReservoir Dogs: Mr Brown, Mr Pink and Mr White looking at Marvin Nash.

Camera Angles and Shots

Reservoir dogs trunk shot.jpgLong Takes & Tracking Shots

These kinds of shots let us follow the characters and spend time with them without cuts/edits. There is a real beauty and daring to these kinds of cinematic sequences.


The 360 Shot

As Quentin Tarantino noted, his use of this shot was inspired by Director Brian DePalma who often used the 360 tracking shot to emphasize the feeling of love or togetherness. It can also be used to emphasize confusion as in DePalma's Blow Out (the scene when Jack's tapes are erased) and in Quentin Tarantinos Jackie Brown where the camera spins around Jackie. This is actually a trick on the viewer because as we find out, Jackie plans out the entire caper and is merely acting confused.


The God's Eye POV

This shot is filmed with the camera directly above the actors. It is used to convey something bigger than the characters is watching them and what they are doing. In other words, a cinematic inner conscious. In Kill Bill, the Gods Eye POV seems to be accompanying The Bride on her justified journey of revenge.

In Jackie Brown : Jackie Brown hides money in her bag at the airport's toilets.


JB Case.jpgThe Use of Black and White

Quentin Tarantino has had black and white sequences in two of his films. They appear in Kill Bill and Death Proof. These sequences are definitely inspired by his love of the way movies looked in the early days of cinema up to the way it was used in the French New Wave era.

In Natural Born Killers
