Shot by Shot Remake - The Killers

By the use of our storyboards drawn up in the previous lesson, we were able to create a remake of the opening scene of The Killers. In a short amount of  time we had to find a location which resembled the one in the movie (Cafe in Chapel Market).

Everyone in the group had a chance to operate the camera and direct each other,This way we were able to see who was better at what and be able to play to these strengths and weaknesses when it came to making our own thriller opening. We used the camera on and off the camera but we used the tripod more as it was easy to handle and our shots came out better. We brought in props that resembled the ones that were actually in The Killers opening , so our remake reflected the actual film as much as possible.

FINAL PRODUCT - THE KILLERS REMAKE

After filming, we edited it using Final Cut Pro. We already knew how to edit because we'd been taught in previous lessons so this task was not very difficult as we had a good understanding of how to use the software and programmes. We were successful in putting the shots together to make a final piece and the majority of the shots in the video and the final video matched that of the Killers which is good, although, when we watched it back we saw that we had made a couple of mistakes, which could've easily been changed if we had more time.
