When planning our remake activity we had to note down each shot in the sequence, for us to later remake. The task was quite simple and easy to note down as the opening sequence we picked, Collateral, had simple shots that were very clear and easy to follow.
When storyboarding each shot was not difficult, as we had already noted down the shots, however the amount of detail we added was not enough for us to have a really clear understanding of what shot come next. Therefore we had to keep referring to the actual Collateral opening sequence clip to understand the scene better.
Our choice of location, which was the school canteen, did not have a big enough impact to create the mystery that the actual film would have portrayed. I think this because the location we choose didn't quite resemble 'Collateral's' opening scene and therefore didn't match the theme and genre of the film and therefore the impact in our final product wasn't as high as it should of been. The impact of the costume choices also wasn't as thrilling, however the sunglasses that were worn in our remake had resembled 'Collateral', as both men were wearing them, therefore it did portray a sense of mystery and action.
The difficulty in creating the title credits, in our case, was that we were not familiar with the editing software and therefore were unsure on how to do the special effects that we wanted to add. Also the time bound for us to create the title credits was not long enough, especially for it being my first time using such professional software, it was a challenge. However, we did finish adding our title credits to the remake and did place them in the right order.
When deciding on choosing our font, typeface and size of the titles, we just added the credits and then was going to come back and edit them to match the film genre. However we ran out of time and didn't get to choose a specific font or size that we look think matched the genre. But we did make the font narrow and tall to resemble the theme to and extent, also we made the font size quick big to resemble the genre of action.
The success of choosing the font was quite rushed, however the colour and the size did portray the action genre which was successful. I would of liked to add a more bold, straightedge font to signify the genre. Also to add special effects on the title credits to make it run smoother and look more professional.
The title credits were placed over the moving images as that is what the film 'Collateral' chose and it was best suited for the genre.
If I were to complete this task again I would make sure to plan efficiently and accordingly so that when it comes to filming the task we know exactly what to do. Also to put a time restriction on every part so that we would know how long to do a task for and will not run into other tasks time, leaving it to become to late and not having any time left.
