Research: Breakfast Club Remake Successes and Shortcomings!

Evaluation of Remake of the Breakfast Club.

Overall i think the final production was a huge success. We had filmed the scenes that we wanted to effectively in he way that we wanted them to turn out. The classroom,hallway and clock were successful but this wasn't the case with every scene. For example in the car scene

We wanted to film this exactly how it was so we found a BMW near the college and filmed what we could.On the other hand finding the BMW was a lenthy process as we couldn't find many cars around our area,though the further we explored we eventually found one. However when it came to editing there were a few problems as the scene didnt flow smoothly. Another thing that didn't really go well was the Father-Daughter scene.Instead of an actual car that we wanted to sit in instead we used a classroom with 2 seats with poor lighting. It wasn't possible to change the lighting in our remake as there was limited time available. In hindsight we were in front of a green screen so we should added a background but like having said that  there was limited time available.

Another issue was not being able to add sound. The sound was quite a problem as it didn't work when we tried to embed it into our movie but i think the remake still looks good what makes it genuine is that we managed to add the credits which included the original cast and crews names.

Despite these downfall we had the success of adding the credits. We had previously learnt how to import text using Final Cut Pro and spent time carefully selecting the colors similar to the ones used in the title sequence. Once we added the credits our finished remake looked similar as we matched the text to the same large yellow font used in the title sequence 

Overall i think our remake was very successful in terms of the content that was filmed but i think in the future we should leave more time for editing.

If i were to re film i would spend more time planning and organizing what is to be filmed and do a location hunt to find the perfect spot to film.By doing this we would have enough time film everything we need and to even add any extra shots needed. Also by scouting the perfect location there would be less externalities ruining the production. With an organised schedule would mean more effective and productive editing session leading to a better quality film as more time and work would go in sound,editing and editing the clip.
