Research- Task 22- Practical Remake Activity Evaluation

Gone Girl is about a former New York-based writer Nick Dunne (Ben Affleck) and his glamorous wife Amy (Rosamund Pike) who present a portrait of a blissful marriage to the public. However, when Amy goes missing on the couple's fifth wedding anniversary, Nick becomes the prime suspect in her disappearance. The resulting police pressure and media frenzy cause the Dunnes' image of a happy union to crumble, leading to tantalizing questions about who Nick and Amy truly are. 

Our Remake activity involved replicating an already existing film title sequence to the best of our ability. Our group decided on choosing the film Gone Girl to replicate as the title sequence and  genre appealed to us most the sequence involved many different settings and locations. At the start of the sequence we was introduced to a character and then towards the end of the sequence we was introduced to another character in the film. The characters that was introduced in the title sequence suggests  that they are the main character and the film revolves around them. The different locations that are shown in the title sequence may suggest the places that the main female character may have been.

It was easy deciding on the type of shot we wanted (which we placed on the shot list) as we could look at the Gone Girl title sequence as inspiration as we had to replicate it. However it was a little difficult storyboarding it and adding detail to the storyboard so we would know exactly what would happen in each scene. We also found it easy to film but it was a little difficult to get the ideal location, that would match or seem relatively close to the scenes in the Gone Girl title sequence. 

Overall I believe that we recreated our title sequence successfully but there was one element I didn't particularly like but we had to include. One thing I would change is one of the scenes, which is in the begin, this particular scene was the hand on the hair scene as personally I thought it was a little cringe and would be awkward for the actors.
