Comparison of The Breakfast Club original & remake

In terms of similarities between our remake and the original Breakfast Club film I would say there is not much difference, this is down hugely to the in-depth planning we made and the storyboard we produced. Having a storyboard with us while filming made it easy for us to know what kind of shot we needed to film. For example for when there was a shot of the locker an then at shot of it zoomed in, we made sure we had a shot of lockers and of a segment of it zoomed it, this was done to replicate the exact clip of the original.

As a group we thought of it as important to capture the college as a whole as we felt that the original set the scene of the school well by having various shots of different aspects of the building, hence us having a range of different shots of the college and not reusing shots. furthermore as a group we made sure that we included similar text font to those used in the original and made sure we incorporated the voice over. Including the voice over meant that I had to spend quiet some time going over the intro of the film to make sure I had the right words written down. That is how determined we were as a group to make sure that we got it similar to the original as possible. I also went to the extent on putting on an American accent add to the overall effect.

Having trouble with filming the car scenes made it did have a impact on how our remake looked to the original. For example we did not have enough character and not a change in clothes to make sure the characters were differentiated from on another enough. This made it look like jump cuts of different conversations with the same people, which we were not happy happened but at that point we did not have enough time film the shots again.
