As a group we decided we wanted to do a shot by shot remake
of the opening for The Breakfast Club because it was the most convenient. The
setting for the film is a high school which was practical for us to shoot in
our college. Also, there is no people or actors present in the film and we were
able to film within the hours that people won’t be around in college. The film
is set in 1984 but we decided to add modern elements to it and changing the
contents to a few of the shots.
Planning our remake was fairly easy, we sat down as a group
and watched the opening sequence a few times and each took down information.
After making notes we then started drawing up our story board. We did change a
few shots to suit our surroundings but it was easy to work with. Being able to
film at college helped us a lot because it closely resembled the high school
and many of our shots look exactly the same as the film.

Shot by Shot Remake
The title credits were easy to produce because the film
opening used Titles on a Blank Screen. The original film used large yellow
text, and we were able to find a similar font and colour which had a modern
vibe to it.
If I was able to do the task again, I would allocate each
member of the group roles on what they should do and make sure everyone takes a
go at filming. I would also make sure to write a plan out on what time I would
like to finish a certain part of filming. Overall, I think our remake was a
success, it helped us get used to the camera and decide how to plan our time in
the future.
