while there are a couple different locations, like the coffee shop, the bulk of the film takes place in the warehouse. that was mostly a budget restriction but Tarantino used it to his advantage. So yes good catch you’re right, but my point holds up!
Another point about the restricted location in Rear Window is losing control of the outside world. Stewart's character is a man of adventure and action whose world has shrunk to his living room after breaking his leg. All he can do is voyeurize, even when Kelly's character is in the murderer's apartment. In any other circumstance he'd run over and save the day, but here there's nothing he can do but watch.
It's a good idea for a video and your presentation is enjoyable to watch... I do have one criticism though...Reservoir Dogs is NOT a single location film. While they spend a lot of time in one location there are half a dozen or more other locations the film takes place in. They are not just short flashbacks or CUTAWAYS either. There are SEVERAL significant elements of Storytelling that we see happening elsewhere. They are I. Portant scenes where we learn a lot about the characters... arguably some of the most important things about those characters development are set up in these other locations. If you rewatch Reservoir Dogs with a stopwatch and track the times, you'll see Reservoir Dogs spends a whole lot of time outside of a single location. I normally wouldn't even bother to mention it, I'm not in the habit of commenting on RUclips videos, but everything you said about why single location shoots are interesting and special and about how they work is correct. I just think your points wow quite valid or undercut a little bit by choosing an example that doesn't fit very well. I hope that feedback comes across as helpful. That is the way I intended it. I'm really only bothering to share it because I think your work is promising. Oh and there's a good chance you already know this but I've noticed that a lot of films that take place in a single location, have been adapted from plays. In the theater environment it's much harder to keep changing locations since everything is happening in real time right in front of the audience. So things like 12 Angry Men that were popularized in the theater often retain that one location framing when they get adapted to screen.
thank you so much for this feedback! And you’re completely right, Reservoir Dogs has a number of locations so it may have not been the best example! It was the first one that came to my head when considered movies with distinct characters and budget restrictions but i probably should have revisited before using it. I also love the point about theater, another one of my favorites is the Glass Menagerie which is based on the play and primarily takes place in one location. Thanks for the feedback it is much appreciated!
A movie or sitcoms can be great with their story revolving a single background setting when the characters and the space they inhabit interacts back and forth. Everyone who has ever moved out of their parents house knew this. Seeing empty spaces in their new or temporary home, their eyes are constantly reminded of possibilities of what it can be: a plain wall, an empty corner, crass sunlight coming from the window--they're blank canvases for the production team to go wild with once they know what kind of characters in the story be running about
intro jumpscared me I thought you were sleeping
Well done! Thoughtful and well-organized.
Love the vibe booms. You such a goofy goober. Keep up the good work!
The Titan submersible implosion story would be a good example of a logical reason for using only one location, albeit a short story.
00:51 _Reservoir Dogs_ takes place in multiple locations, so isn't an example of a one-location film.

great point! another example of how the plot is driven by the location and not just a gimmick

Interesting video

good eye, it was more or less an editing mishap
