Creative Task - Opening Scene Remake

This is our remake of the Step Brothers (2008) meeting scene between the two main characters - Dale and Brennan. 

When watching the real clip it looks like a short and simple scene to reenact, however we quickly realised that in reality it wasn't as easy as it seemed. For example, on the particular day we were shooting, the weather was very inconsistent which caused inconveniences in sound quality, such as gusts of wind being caught mid-shot. Also, due to the location of where we were filming it (next to a road) there were often cars driving past, so there were many continuity issues. Also, the weather interfered with the travelling of sound, so we had to speak louder - this made the speech seem quite forced and unnatural in my opinion.

On the other hand I thought we did a good job recreating the camera angles used such as the shot-reverse-shots. Also, I feel as if the typography was edited quite well for the selection of fonts and transitions we were allocated in iMovie. The actors also behaved in the same manner as in the real clip when acting, for example the way Brennan walks and stands is recreated very well.

Learning Comment

Although we did well in recreating certain aspects of the clips, I feel as if conditions that we unable to control let us down. Next time when filming I think we should shoot inside so our sound quality is improved as that is what I think is holding us back at the moment. We could also use a stabilizer for the camera to improve the quality of shots, as at the moment they are quite shaky and unnatural.
