In one of our latest lessons we looked at a sequence from the film “The Breakfast Club”. the sequence we looked at involved meeting the characters and them arriving at school to complete their unwanted detention on a Saturday morning. Here, by body language and a small amount of dialogue, we find out different characters behaviour and a feel for their attitudes, so we had to try and portray this in our piece too. I took the role, with a few others, as the director. This was a hard task as we had the final say and the final look was more or less down to us. However I think we managed to pull it off. Although we didn’t have the same location we tried to create a similar look to the layout of the classroom to the film.
On of the key pieces of information I learned complete ling this task was the fact that it takes a long time to film a small section. This is created by allowing seconds before and after each shot to edit with, and how many times a shot has to be shot to get the desired effect. I also learnt that although you have to work as a team, as it would be extremely hard to produce yourself, the direct has to have the final say to get the job done. This can mean saying things which may seem bossy, and at school, to your friends, as well as keeping the whole production working to actually do what you came there to do.
