PLANNING: Prelim and Evaluation of the Prelim remake

Shots & Storyboard Evaluation

• During the process of this remake, there are some credited parts and some improvements within the shooting and editing of this remake. We purposely chose Collateral as it was easy to convey the shots and a sense of suspend belief would get the viewers anticipated with good expectations for the film. We made sure we ensured the 180 degree rule was abided to and we made sure that we included every shot from the shot list.
•  The noting down of each shot helped guide our group on which shot was before another shot etc. if we didn't have shot list, I doubt that the finishing outcome would look like that. The pot would make no sense as the shots would be jumbled up. However, I must admit that we did miss out some shots but when we checked the storyboard at the end of the shooting scenes, we quickly filmed the missing shots.

Location & Costumes

• The location of our shooting wasn't the ideal location for our shooting as we needed a busy location e.g. the City or an airport to recreate the same shots. Additionally, as other media groups were also shooting they took alternative locations so we were forced to use our school cafeteria hallway. 
• Our remake would've been better if Noah and Rasta had worn suits to make the shots look identical to the actual title sequence. As they were in their normal college clothes, their characters may have been mistaken for being thugs or drug dealers instead of sophisticated men. Thus this obstacle of costumes could misinterpret the plot of the film and maybe even the genre of the film.          

Evaluation of credits & font type

• When deciding the font, we was torn between two font types. As the genre of the film is Action-Thriller we decided to go a bold typeface which suited it best. We decided to place the title credits on the right hand side of the screen on a black background to create a high contrast. 
• We added animation on the title called "Fade Out" to give it an effect to the title and to also catch the eye of the audience. The animation is slightly eerie to create an element of suspend belief in the milli-seconds of the title credits until the scenes begin.

In Future, what would we change?

• If we had to do this task again, we would probably change the costumes of the characters. Moreover, another thing I would change is the editing system as it was quite challenging to work with and there many technical difficulties which caused our remake to have many errors and may not look as good as we expected. 
• I would also change the location to a busier place if our media teacher gave us freedom to do so, we would probably go to the local Angel Station where it would be a lot busier than the college surroundings.
