Task 22

Remake Evaluation

Planning

- Our group decided to do a remake of 'Collateral'. The planning of the remake was by far the easiest step in my own opinion due to the fact that all the shots we needed to create for the remake where all shown in the original scene of Collateral. We were able to easily storyboard the shots of the scene that we were going to create. However, what we planned out in the end did alter from the original scene due to the difference in location/props etc. 

Filming

- The filming of the remake was the most enjoyable yet also the most challenging part of the remake. What was the most challenging for the remake was the fact that we actually had to create what we planned out for the scene in the short amount of time that we had left compared to the time we allocated for the planning and the editing. Most shots took quite a few amount of retakes before we got them the way we wanted, the reason we needed to take these retakes was probably the fact that none of us were actually 'good' actors, yet we wanted the acting to be somewhat decent. 

Editing

- While we did run into a few problems for editing, for example not knowing how to use certain effects such as slow-mo, or using a soundtrack representing the busy setting in collateral. We did manage to take our time and finish the editing the way we wanted to. The media technicians at our college were very clear and quick in telling and teaching us how to get rid of the problems that we were facing.

Overall, the remake went better than i expected. During the whole recreation of the scene, my group was serious and professional about the remake while we also had a lot of fun doing the task together as a team.
