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.

Order Of Titles Explanation

Order of titles explanation

The opening titles that occur in films are mostly formatted in a conventional order. The order of titles is made up of a hierarchy system, the highest contributors that invested money into the film are mentioned first as the film more or less relays on their input therefore are often given most time on screen to emphasis their significance.  

Order of titles for most films:

1. Ident
2. Production title
3. Film title
4. Actors name
5. Producers and Director

The order of title varies to each film, for example the actors name can differ depending on the stars starring in the film if there are well known worldwide actors it would be listed before the film title. Distributors is another variation, in some movies the distributors are followed after the ident and in some movies the crew; costume design, music, photographer etc is listed in the opening credits after the actors names.

Order of titles for some films:

1. Ident 
2. Distribution title
3. Production title
4. Actors name (worldwide stars)
5. Film title
6. Actors name
7. Crew
8. Production and Director

Filming

Our aim for the project was to re-create a shot by shot remake of the opening of the scene of 'The Breakfast Club' film.

To do this we filmed beside the college and inside to make the remake similar to the original, to do this we used a camera JVC to record and also used the tripod to take pans and shots inside the college, inside the college we had various props we used in order to represent the characters just like inside of the film. During filming to represent talking inside the car we used a office but we couldn't film through the car window because we were unable to hear the conversation, this was the only real problem we encountered.

Filming went fine because we knew what lines we had to say, while we filmed we had our storyboard ready and also the extract of the film we could watch to make the filming look just like the original, we also had fun doing it.

At the start of filming the scene were we used cars to represent the teenagers going to school we used
the inside to represent the interior . The cars we used weren't exactly the same as how it was in the movie but we used cars that were close to what someone at there social class would use.

Below shows a lot of behind the scene pictures which were taken when filming the scene.
