18. Practical Remake Activity - Planning

PLANNING

What film did we remake?

For our planning, our group decided to remake the title sequence of the film 'Gone Girl' because it is one of the well known films and also simple to do. As a group, we discussed the locations and the costumes to make the sequence as similar as possible. The planning was very easy because we did not need to create any ideas or settings of our own. It was all done for and all we had to do is copy and match our remake to the actual film's sequence. 

Storyboard 1: The storyboard shows the shots we planned to do. Starting with the film studio's name appearing first, and then the company's name. We cannot change anything here because they have their own representation of their company. Then a close up of a face slowly looking up. Afterwards, the screen fades to black and the main characters are introduced.

Storyboard 2: Storyboard 2 carries on and the film title finally comes up with a diagonal angle shot of a river in the background, then we'll have a wide angle shot of houses with another title. There will be a diagonal shot of the road name board after with another title.Then a side shot of houses and then a park of trees with another title.

Storyboard 3: As it continues, the next shots are also of different buildings and locations such as a close up of concrete, alleyway and shops.

Storyboard 4: The last shots show close ups and far angle shots of a guy. Wide 180' horizontal angle of him standing in front of a house and then close ups of him when he walks towards the house front door.
