Constructing Our Remake (Joe French)

Notes on how we made our remake -
(Use photos)

Toy car- We used a toy car in our remake because throughout the opening, a car is driving down a number of roads, we decided to use this because in the opening the car is followed and looks very small when being shown so we used a toy car because they are actually very small and would look no different in comparison to the actual opening because they are both shown as small. We tied a piece of string to the car in order to show it moving without showing our hands, this adds realism because it looks as of the car is moving by itself which is what is shown in the actual opening and this helps make it look as much like the opening as possible.

Mountain- We used a pile of dirt on a garden as a mountain, this is because it looks like a real mountain and adds to the realism because mountains generally have a lot of dirt covering them. It also worked with the toy car to show scale like in the opening because the mountain is huge compared to the car driving through it so when comparing the pile of dirt to the toy car, it actually looked as if a real car was driving through the mountains.

River and Island- For this we used a plastic blue sheet for the river, this is because rivers generally look blue so it would look like the cameras was flying over the river. We also made an island out of some dirt and a stick for a tree which makes it look natural and makes it look as if its real.

Road- We used a long wooden plank for the road that the car would be run along, this is because its long but narrow like many of the roads in the opening of the film but also because we could move it around and put it in different places so we could still have a road but in a different location.  

Knowing this will help us when constructing our film opening because it helps us work with whatever we have so we can still create a good film opening with minimal spending.
