How Our Re-Make Was Made

When we made our remake, the first thing we went about doing was determining which order to shoot in. We decided to attempt to film the shots in the order they appear as the location seldom changed and this made it easier to keep track of what we had shot and what we hadn't. After filming, we immediately went and uploaded our footage onto the computer so that we would have multiple copies of footage, in case we accidentally some shots from either the computer or the camera.

After this, we watched the film opening again multiple times to refresh our memories and compared it to the footage we had filmed to ensure we had enough footage to create a sufficient remake. Once we had decided that we were satisfied, we began to select the best takes of each shot and "rejecting" the takes we were not going to use. This made it easier for us to find each shot when it came to editing.

We then placed each shot in its correct position within the opening before trimming the clips down to the correct length. After doing this, we added in the titles, carefully following the title timeline from the real film. Finally, I composed a piece of music to accompany our opening which suited the genre and added it to the clip. Finally, I muted all the individual clips before exporting the finished piece.
