Before we made our re-making of a film opening we created a storyboard/shot list and a title timeline of the opening in order to ensure that we followed the piece as accurately as possible and created a re-make that matched the original to a reasonable standard.
For our re-make we used a HD Sony camera, tripod and dolly. This ensured that the shots were of good quality and so that the camera was not wonky and did not jolt and therefore the shots came out well and not blurry. For the shot of the girls legs gradually going up her body (male gaze theory by Laura Mulvey), we did not use the tripod, we did a hand held shot. Although this was risk due to the shot could have been shaky, we think that the shot went well.
For the shot of the cars, we went into a car park to film one car after the next ensuring we did not get any number plates in the shot, this made the cars look like they were moving on a road. For the traffic lights we used images off the internet and have edited each photo of the traffic light to make it look like it went from green, amber to red.
The location of the film was in the school playground during the day, but by using editing tool we made it appear darker to look more like evening, managed to make it appear as if it was raining and use cocktail umbrellas to make the establishing shot look realistic (like a high angle of real umbrellas). Using iMovie to edit the film opening ensured we could add titles (after looking at are title timeline) and add slow motion to certain shots as well as change the brightness and setting to the location.
