re creation of breakfast club

the original opening scene of breakfast club

our re-creation of the opening scene in the breakfast club.














During our re-creation of the breakfast club, we used props to represent the different characters in each aspect of the scene, we used similar shots as used in the original scenes of this film.

Unfortunately we didnt have enough time to film the ending part of this scene which has had an affect on our re-creation as our clip is seen to be fairly short.

shot by shot remake

As a group our task was to do a remake of the opening scene of the film 'The Breakfast Club'. There are five main characters in the film who are labelled as; 'The criminal', 'The athlete', 'The basketcase', 'The princess' and 'The brain'. These characters match their labels through the way they dress and act. For example, 'The princess' is centre of attention and resembles a barbie doll. There are different locations in the opening scenes such as, the outside of the school, the car scenes showing the different charaters with their families, the classroom, the canteen area and the corridor. The car scenes in the film is a comparison to the type of characters they are because of the types of vehicles they arrive in at school. 'The princess' arrives to school in a new sportscar indicating her wealth. 'The basketcase' arrives to school in a run down car resembling her character.

Analysis of three teen movies

The teen movies that I am analyzing have very different sub-genres and are therefore not similar in any way.

Scott Pilgrim Vs the World: 

This 2009 movie mainly focuses on Scott Pilgrim, a 22 year old man who meets a the girl of his dreams but is shocked when he learns he has to fight off her 7 evil exes if he wants to be with her. The movie started off as a graphic novel and is therefore aimed at boys. The movie has some elements of comedy and action which may pull in a wider audience.

 

Easy A:

This movie is about a high school girl who lies about losing her virginity and as a result is called a 'slut' by the entire school. This movie is more of a romantic drama which will, stereotypicaly, interest girls more than boys. The movie also features comedy.

The Hunger Games:

The hunger games is a futuristic movie centered around a young girl named Katniss who volunterally takes the place of her sister in the Hunger Games, a televised  fight to the death in which two teenagers from each of the twelve Districts of Panem are chosen at random to compete. This movie is more sci-fi and action and attracts both boys and girls as the main protagonist is a girl.
