i chose this shot of American gangster as it has allot of similarities to my opening sequence. The theme of the opening is the same (the gangster is being repaid with the persons life) this is why we called the film retribution meaning to repay. I also chose this picture as it captures the gas can, the gangster and the hostage this is also similar to my scene. Denzel Washington also uses a gun to murder the hostage but in my opening the gangster uses a bat. But the idea of using a weapon to show power of the character is the same.
