Tuesday 25th January – Thursday 27th January
The first re-make we filmed was our version of Juno (2007). This was because it had the most shots and so we decided we would get the largest amount of filming done first. We chose to film this outside and used on of our groups members to play Juno whilst two of us operated the equipment and filmed it. We managed to complete this filming quite quickly as we made sure that we were organised in what we were doing by having the storyboard and shot-list with us at all times.
We then decided that we would film our re-make of Vertigo (1958). Initially we were going to use one of us as the woman in the opening and have two of us film it however we found this quite difficult and therefore decided to be more creative by drawing out the character onto paper and filming that instead. We weren’t as time effective when creating this opening as we spent a lot of time preparing for it and did also waste some time in our first attempt and therefore this task did take longer than we had anticipated.
The final opening we filmed was The Strangers (2008) for which we used images of houses printed out and we used a camera on a dolly to create the effect of driving past the houses. For this film, we used our time very effectively as we had prepared everything in advance and we all worked together to film the opening. We had one person doing the camerawork, another checking the storyboard and another using the shot-list for timings.
Overall We worked very well as a group however we were sometimes not as time effective as we would have liked but we managed to improve when making the final film. We worked very well with the equipment and using the facilities that we had. I also think that we all contributed well towards the filming as we each had a turn at being in charge of one film each. From doing this, I have learnt that it is important to use all of our time effectively and that it is useful to each take a different piece of responsibility.
