Shot by shot | Editing

Editing 


Editing was the vital process of creating the final outcome of the remake. Final cut pro was used to combine the titles and the videos to make it similar to 'Breakfast club'. We incorporated the soundtrack from the original into our remake and also the voice over of  Bryan (one of the characters in breakfast club) at the beginning of the introduction where he introduces the settings. We used Nawd to read out the script and record himself for the voice over.

We watched the original opening and timed each shot to the remake, this allowed us to keep the remake as close as possible to the original. Thaomy faced difficulties keeping up with the timing within music, voice over and video. This is because of the time we were given to edit, it was a  long process to keep it similar to the original but we will improve on the planning and time management skills. We also used varieties of effects such as fades, crosscuts, dissolves through editing the music and video. Thaomy had to dissolve and blend the music together in order to make it sound more natural as a whole.The fade was only used in the end of the scene where the basket case exits the car. We kept the whole video simple to make continuity throughout the footage because the original did not have many effects to display.

We found the process of editing a bit challenging such as putting the scenes into the correct order as the original clip,  there were also difficult sections of editing for example adding music in the background. This was difficult because researching the exact music was not easy but also time consuming but we manage to overcome this by using the cut tool and dissolving the music together to make it exact.  However their are also other issues that we also faced within editing, there wasn't enough clips of the use of objects and settings to add within the video. We had to use alternatives such as making the short clips longer by extending the videos to make it longer. Many parts of the editing was simple through collaborating the video's together in chronological order, it was quick to look at one video and pick out the best to apply it to editing through using 'output' and 'input' keys to cut some sections.

In order to keep the remake as identical to the original as possible, we added title sequence on to the remake. It may not be exact because we were told not to include the ident but only include the actors, editors and supervisors.
