We have finally completed our swede of The Breakfast Club! Here's an overview of it:
Our swede was of The Breakfast Club. We chose this because we are fans of the film and director, it was also very easy to shoot since we didn't need many props, costumes were normal clothes and the setting was in a school.
We did encounter some problems with the technology, mostly with the camera. Since our group of 5 fit the cast perfectly, in some shots we were missing a cameraman. This was easily fixed when we had a tripod, but when one wasn't available we would have to choose an angle in the 180 degree rule that excluded the cameraman's character in that shot. Another problem we encountered was losing footage due to the stop/play button being confused, which meant we had to re-film. These difficulties have taught be solutions and gave me the idea of what making a film is like.
During the project we used a handheld camera, a tripod, a mac and Final Cut Pro for the editing. This project has taught me how to plan a short film, working in groups and how to edit. I realised how in depth the process is and how there are sometimes many different shots in one scene.
I have learnt many skills in preparation for my foundation portfolio. I know what making a short film is like and understand the different roles involved. It definitely gave me enthusiasm to create even more.
Keep posted!
