In my AS Media studies my group made up of Sama, Niamh, Ali and me were given the task of having to remake a title sequence. As a group we chose to remake Gone Girls opening title sequence as we were quite intrigued by it's subtle yet slow intro to the story giving a little incite into what the story is about.
Our first task was to create a shot list of the title sequence in order from start to finish describing what was going on in each sequence, then to create a story board of it by drawing images of each shot. As a group this wasn't challenging what so ever but when we got to the filming stage we came across a few difficulties in terms of achieving the shots we had to remake as some weren't physically achievable to us like for example in the Gone Girl opening title sequence there was a shot of peer while the title was being displayed on the screen, this simply couldn't of been remade by us as we were filming in the inner parts of a city. When it came to the costume design we had to remake the same costume used by Ben Affleck in title sequence to add to the realism and character by wearing jogging bottoms and a plain t-shirt so that both the remake and the original are exactly the same.
Our next step to completing the remake was to now edit the shots which had a few rewards and some challenging moments as the cutting and trimming of the shots was easy, yet removing the background sound and adding in ambient sounds was the challenging part as we weren't well acquainted with the editing software. The font we used in the remake to display each crew members name was fairly similar to the title sequence as it suited the calm theme of the opening and its tone.
What we would of done differently as a group next time was to maybe fix our issues with imputing sound and the shots that weren't achievable, as we could of tried to create a shot which was at least close to the original.
