Remake Comparision

This is our remake of the Breakfast Club Opening and as a group we believe that this was successful as we have done several planning strategies. For example, the props we were going to bring, locations we filmed in and different shot types.

We used the same music which was played in the original movie. The music that was played was performed by Simple Minds called Don't you (Forget about me). We used the same song as we think it sets the mood into the teen movie which is nice and smooth, also because it's a remake, it has to be identical.  The idents of The Breakfast Club  is called 'Universal' an MCA company which we used to represent the production/distribution companies. We showed this at the start as 'Universal' is popular, which will convince people to watch our remake version. We screenshot each name and title given at the start and put it together to make the things we have control over as identical and not change things around once it's a remake. In addition,  we used the names of the people in the movie but the characters were replaced by us individually. We didn't have enough people to play all the characters so we multi-rolled to include all characters in the opening. We tried our best to keep the length the same because we need to balance it out, as we can't have extra title names or less because that's not what happens in the original movie. When the titles end, a wide shot was choosed to established the location which was our school, similarily this was also used in the breakfast club opening , the only differenc is that it wasn't the same school used. The Breakfast Club Opening was released in 1985 however, our school is more modern as it's a glass building. We used the script to record the voiceover in our opening at the beginning,  In the original movie a male was used for the voiceover whereas, for our remake opening a female was used.

We also interpreted the different shots shown in the original opening whereas, we used our college to record the same things but different types e.g. the hallway is different to ours, the canteen also, close up of rubbish shown on the stairwell etc.They used a locker saying 'IF you open this I will kill you...FAG', this shows that there are bullies in the school, which is stereotypical as the majority teen movies have bullies in it and we used this to our advantage and got a locker of our own and wrote the same thing.
