Comparison of our shot by shot remake to the original

Our shot by shot remake and the original

The beginning title sequence and our production icon of our shot by shot remake was almost identical. We made sure to match the colours and the style of the writing to the original and put dissolves onto the titles to make them disappear from the screen smoothly.

The still shots that are used in the opening could however been better, some shots proved hard to film with a tripod and therefore became shaky and unclear. However, from this we learnt that we must always use a tripod when filming or a fig rig as they will provide us with clear still shots which are more comfortable for the viewer to watch.

We tried to make the content of the still shots as identical to the original as possible. On most cases we were successful with the location and the mimicking of the angles of the shots however, sometimes we could not find a location similar enough o the original one e.g. boys locker rooms. Because of this we could not film every still shot in the opening.

The moving footage was hard to copy completely as the setting was obviously using cars but we worked our way around it by using props such as chairs to mimic cars.

Overall I think that we learnt a lot from the shot by shot remake and will be able to apply this knowledge to our future filming.
