Shot by shot remake evaluation

Evaluation


In my opinion it wasn't that hard to not down each shot as they were either wide shots, long, mid or close ups/extreme. They were quite easy to distinguish, however, the shots lasted 3 seconds most times, therefore it was hard to note them all down in time. This meant we had to constantly pause the clip, this was quite time consuming. 

It was quite difficult to storyboard each shot as the scenes had quite a lot of detail that was hard to redraw. We missed the small detailing, however drew the main things which allowed us to know what scene replicates what. We only missed the scenes that was past 2 minutes or so as we would not have time to film them, therefore we didnt add them to the storyboard. 

The location had a big impact on the final product more than costume as most of the shots were in different locaions with no actors, only in the last fee shots there were charscters. We tried to replicate the locstions in the Brealfsst Club, for example the scene of a stiarcase, we would use a staircase, a scene of a gym locker room, we improvised and tried to replicate it as we didn't have one available at the time. Therefore location had a big impact in our final product. 

It was very difficult to to create the title sequence as they were quite a few crefits to remake. Things such as the font, typeface and size had to very similar to the actual opening. To do this, it was almost trial error, as we had to try many fonts in order to see which was most accurate to the Breakfast Club. Also we had to change the size of the font as it varies in different scenes,  which was quite consuming. Lastly, colour was another convention that hadvto be always put into consideration,  the colour of the text was either yellow or white. This was the easiest part as it was quite straight forward. 

Our choice of font matcged the tone of the film as it was quite bold as it represents rebellion yet also young and youthful but nature.
We were quite successful in the placement of the title sequence so they fit the action that we see, the titles are integrated smoothly. This is because it was accurately measured,  for example how long the title sequence wason a specific action. Also the title sequence didnt overlap nor interrupt another title sequence which was suppose to be on a shot.
If I was to complete the shot by shot remake again,  I would make the dialogue that we reacted more fluent and more precise as we kind of rusged it due to the little bit of time left to shoot. Also the costumes would have been more customised, for the actors and actresses in the opening. The last thing I would have done differently is the camera shots, some were not 100% precise,  for example in one panning shot of the car, it is a still image as we forgot to pan due to us being in a rush. Lastly, some close ups were suppose to be extreme close ups.
