Shooting Practice: (Crime/Drama) Scene Recreation

 This post contains a mini project that helped us learn how to shoot a cinematic scene. We did this project as a group.

Lesson Description: For todays lesson, my teacher told us to find a scene from a real movie that fits with our genre for Comp 1. Our task was to recreate a scene from the movie "Fight Club" as it fits with our planned movie genre, we recreated this as a group and split the task so that we each have something to contribute.

Reflection:  It was an enjoyable fun small classwork having to recreate a scene from a particular film, through this activity, we learnt firsthand how to work together as a group and be in synergy to create something. Together we managed to recreate a scene from "Fight Club" through sheer dedication, however it was not a perfect 1:1 recreation and it had many flaws due to us not having enough time and lack of equipment resulting in a cheap looking scene.
