Evaluation of Practical Activity: The Breakfast Club

Throughout the our rendition of the Breakfast task, we used many similar quotes and props as in the original film. This included writing the words "IF YOU OPEN THIS YOU WILL DIE" on the lockers within the media corridor, just as they do in the actual Breakfast Club. The first 40 seconds of the film is our match cuts of the school; lockers, classrooms, clocks etc. We tried to include different aspect of the school just like in the film i.e. graffiti, honor roll and empty classrooms. This gave the same affect in which the film did as it being a school filled with a range of different pupils. 

We then proceeded on to film our characters entrances, in their cars with their parents and entering the building of the "High School". In order to make it seem as though the cars of the students are "there" we filmed mini toy cars, driving into the shot, before we switched to filming the actual characters using over the shoulder and medium shots. After the car shots we filmed each of our characters entering the building of the college, using track shots to show the character coming inside from outside
