The Breakfast Club: Shot-By-Shot Remake

New Skills, Programmes and Technology learnt during the remake:


Lauren: I have learnt how to edit during a short amount of time, so as to get things done quickly and efficiently. I have also learnt how to problem solve and make do, due to the lack of props and budget!

Maya: I have learnt how to manage my time better and I have also learnt how to improvise as we were short of props and were not completely prepared. 

Esther: During the process of filming I have learnt how to direct and pitch in ideas and also, because we didn't have enough time we were left the only option to recreate one of the characters' entering the scene. 

Danniella: I have learn't that you should ALWAYS check the footage after filming regardless of how 'long' that may be, as you could discover during editing that a lot of the footage is not usable.  

Challenges?


Lauren: It was challenging to edit the remake in a short amount of time and still keep the remake at good quality. It was also challenging to replicate some of the scenes in the opening to the breakfast club as there were not the same props and facilities available.

Maya: I found the preparation and gathering props most challenging as we didn't have time in order to decide what exactly we wanted to have as props. Also, editing was quite a challenge because there were many clips to put in order to resemble the sequence of the film. 

Esther: It was challenging during filming in school hours as we had to face a lot of disruption whilst recording the voice over and the actual film. It was difficult to get the different shot types as we didn't use a script; so we would say one thing in one shot and then a different thing in a different shot. This made our footage harder to edit. 

Danniella: I though working as a team was quite challenging, as we had to take it in turns to film, edit and update the blog. I think giving each person a specific role would have been much easier, however working as a team gave everyone an equal chance to try different things and develop their skills.
