Conventions of a Crime Caper- Reservoir Dogs

The intro to Reservoir Dogs breaks some intro conventions as it has some credits which seem similar the end film kind of credits. it has very clever editing in how the actors names are placed over a shot of the character they play. The music in crime caper intro's and throughout the movie as well is as well upbeat and quirky. the conventions of a crime caper are:
  • an array of characters usualy a group who are quite smart and daring
  • very witty and sometimes humorous
  • involves a crime or something illegal
  • involves an obstacle or a problem sometimes more than one than hinders them
  • usually has a very clever plot line
  • the main characters are always criminals but are also the good guys
  • sometimes a bad set of criminals like a rival group
