Evaluation of Film Remake (Gone Girl)

Having previous experience in preparation for a film product, this time round was slightly simpler. however we took the some different steps in planing the remake to what we did with our preliminary task like the in the preliminary we created:

 Created a storyboard:

Established location:

Picking of Props:

But also thus time round we also implemented some new preparation plans for the production of my remake such as :

Writing up the Order of the Title Sequence:


Choosing the Costumes:

the choice of location and costume choices were very important for the production of our remake as they played and very important part in the production of our remake as they built up a large sum of the opening as the there are not any scenes of titles of special effects, rather the titles are either placed over an Establishment shot or a moving image in which the protagonist is acting, in this scene the character is wearing a specific costume which we believed was necessary to recreate as seen above

It wasn't too difficult to to storyboard each shot, as the shots were fairly basic as in their were more establishing shots than those that include acting, which in our eyes who be harder to storyboard and a result of this ease ensured that we did not miss out on detail.  Our choice of shots and formations have been chosen to provide an accurate remake of the gone girl opening

I believe that the time spent filming was very successful as well as productive and this success has to be dedicated to the order of title sequence and shot types, as we were easily able to determine which shots were needed to make an efficient remake. by carefully analysis the original film opening, a clear insight into what was needed, where we needed to be and what was expected to be seen on the screen

The previously written out storyboard played a massive part to our editing as it gave us a clear direction on how the films credits were positioned on the screen what fonts or transitions to use etc. however knowing what to do was one thing, but actually executing it was a whole different story. new software would need to be used to add titles and credits to the film and for us we used after effects to complete this, which was at first was tricky to manoeuvre around especially at times when we had to produce titles over blank screens but after a very helpful tutorial we were able to implement title credits in our project. Our choice of  typography and colour is a result of what we took from the original film, our remakes credits resemble that of the original from the colour white down to the similar font, because of this i believe that our tone of font did suit the tone of the film. besides the fact that it is similar to the original the colour white connotes the cold, mysterious nature of the film. Unlike many of the other films that we could of chosen to remake, the gone girl remake consists of a lot of scenic establishing shots rather than scenes including characters, so in editing we had to mean that the shots we got had to be ordered in a way which perfectly matched the opening itself, which was yes tricky, but with the help of my order of titles was accomplish-able.
