Preliminary task

The beginning of the remake and the original breakfast club both have the same opening showing the "universal pictures"  followed by the opening credits and the same 80's type music, then the voice over introduction from one of the characters, we had to do our own but with the same script so we could do a shot by shot remake accurate. we attempted to recreate  the scenes and use our surroundings to the best of our advantage in order to try and keep up and make the remake as similiar to the original as possible with the limited resources we had.

Initially we studied the opening clip and took note of the key clips that we would be able to do and also we looked at what the main characters were for example : the jock, the brain, ect. The original opening scene was very well done as it was produced by universal pictures of course it had the proffesional made opening credits how ever we did attempt to recreate these and it did turn out really good when comparing. Although there are many differences between the original and our remake we done very well when you put the time we had and the limit in resources into perspective.




We had to change some thing around from the remake such as our use of transport. In the original we have each character coming in in a car and the criminal walking, however we had to change this as we did not have access to a moving car. We had the option of using toy cars in which we could have been creative with, however we found that there was no realism within this so changes had to be made. Andres came up with the idea of using the car park within the college. We filmed different cars and attempted to be creative with the shots and angle to make it look as though it was moving. Unfortunately as the cars were not in motion we had to cut of the character of the basketcase. We as had to change the entrance to the rebel due to the same reason. Luckily enough we found a motorbike which we though was quite rebelious and would suit that character. In that sense we had added our own modern twist on the remake.


Each member of our group took up a task in order so that we could keep up with our bloggin, filming and editing which helped save time and remain on top while we finished our remake of " The Breakfast Club"

The sound, camera and mise on scene of course is much better in the original, however we had difficulties finding a quiet location for us to film within college and the lighting of course wasnt up to hollywood standard but satisfactory for our location.

Overall we believe it was a good remake with all the limitations we had to overcome.
