We've finally finished our remake of the killers, it took us a total of 4h30m to have the finished product uploaded on our blog. As mine and the groups first attempt at working together using different media products and software, i believe we have made a good first attempt of having compiled a decent video.
In my experience in this remake i have learnt a few things.
1. It gets very dark very quickly during December - Film as fast as you can to avoid a dark scene which may contrast with a very bright scene
2. The addition of light revitalizes the whole shot, its essential to get the lighting correct as this can make or break the shot.
3. Saying Action / Cut is VITAL, when it comes to editing you wish you said this to give yourself sufficient time to edit it and make it look as natural as possible. Doing this helps eliminate a robotic feel from the shot and that also adds to the general experience or watching it while trying to remake it to look like the original film.
Furthermore i found that taking random shots while filming is beneficial as you can add these clips into the timeline to give it a better feel while transitioning from one scene to another, particularly establishment shots.
Lastly, we was not able to get a hold of the original Killers soundtrack so we added our own by Jason Mraz - Lucky, I believe this song fits perfectly in with the flirting/socialising going on within the scene at the beginning while they have a chat.
