As the title states, we were tasked to recreate a scene from James Bond Casino Royale as closely as possible. In definition we had to make the recreate them as closely as possible including lip syncing, props, movement and camera shot lengths. The task was in overall fairly difficult but not impossible. This did startle me at first because working in a group of people which I haven't worked with before makes it harder to communicate ideas and thoughts.
The first task of the project was to do research into Casino Royale in general in 5 aspects Technology, Gender, Fashion, Ethnicity and How the scene was shot. I decided that I would suit the technology section well so I decided to choose that topic. I spent the rest of the morning working on that which left me free to work on the rest of the project for the rest of the day.
The next step after doing the research was to work out the timings for all the shots. I did end up getting quite stressed as ,was pointed out, I was making it more difficult then it needed to be. I just wanted the production to go well but being outnumbered means I did have to do it simpler an quicker.
The filming of the scene itself was probably the easiest part. Having the scene on Youtube and watching it before each take really helps us to mimic it. The filming was easily done and the rest of the monday morning was spent editing the film as closely as possible to the real scene. The editing was done by Shawn who did a great job of syncing the scene.
