Summer Task 2 - Media Language

Whilst completing this task of recreating a 30-60 second film scene I learnt how to try and adapt myself to the situation and how many different things need to be organised before filming even begins. Things such as how important the lighting is, the backdrop, the background noise and the facial expressions needed to play the part well. 

Furthermore, I picked this scene because it is a popular scene and many people know it and therefore, will be able to judge my recreation more critically. Also because it only has the one actor it meant that at this early time of my AS Media I didn't need to waste time trying to find the best actors for the part. 

The things I would improve on in this scene recreation next time would be too work on making a better/more realistic backdrop to the scene and having things such as background noise for added affect to the scene. Also I would hope to have improved my acting characteristics as this was one of the first times I've played a role such as this. To also stretch my ability I would get more people involved and so the editing part of my recreation becomes more of a challenge for me. For this scene recreation I used iMovie to edit which gives me quick and easy to use software. 

I recreated the famous scene from 'Heat' in the role of Robert De Niro. Below I have put my version of the scene and also the original version of the film scene:
