Napoleon Dynamite Sequence

We where set the task to recreate a scene from Napoleon Dynamite. First we had a look at the scene to the right from Napoleon Dynamite, then we were given storyboards to copy and plan the scene shot by shot and make it a lot easier to recreate the shots when filming. When I have done filming before I've never really done a storyboard I've just had an idea in my head and just filmed it or when did a stop motion film for my GCSE work I did a storyboard for the first few scenes and just gave up because it was taking to long, but it was a lot easier to do those scenes because I had done those storyboards. Converting shots from a scene that's all ready been filmed to a storyboard got really tedious and repetitive for me. My storyboard was easy to read and you could see who was in the shot (even if I had drawn them differently in the shot before) and I put little notes underneath to make it even more clear what was happening.
After the storyboards we split off into groups to film the scene shot by shot on campus. I was ill when my group started filming but I managed to do some filming the next day when we filmed the last few shots, we managed to finish filming those scenes quite quickly with only doing like one retake. Our group worked together really well but next time when filming in groups I would rather film with people who have similar film interests with me. When I edited the film together I took all the clips and then moved all the good clips into a new separate folder, but next time it will probably easier to just pick them out in premier. After I had put the shots in the folder I then imported them into premier and ordered them according to my storyboard and also shortened the clips to make them flow better together.  My Edit of The Napoleon Dynamite Scene 

This shot is the only one that the we managed to match the background in both shots, but the camera angles are different in both shots. Our shot is a mid shot when the original shot is a long shot. 

For this shot we improvised for the bike because we didn't have a sledgehammer bike. but the shots don't match at all our shot is filmed quite close up and in-front of the bike when the actual one is to the side of the bike and a mid shot. This could easily be corrected by changing the camera position and zooming out a bit more.

Both the shots are mid shots and Chris is leaning up against the wall instead of the lockers which i don't know why we didn't film near the lockers, but apart from that they are very similar.

I filmed this shot and since we did not have a bike that we could use we decide to use a little run and jump over the camera bag instead, and our shot is a little bit closer than the original but if we went any further away we would not be able to hear the dialogue. Everything's good apart from the lighting's a bit darker but that would take a while to get the same.
