preliminary recreation questions

1. We chose the Godfather trailer to recreate as we are planning to make a trailer for our final production and the Godfather represents a dominant role for males being strong and ruthless. This is what we plan to create in our final production, instead with a strong female role. The genre also links as we might produce a gangster/thriller/action trailer.
2. The difficulties faced were the time period as we did not have enough time to shoot and edit this trailer, our editing was also quite intense as there is a lot of editing that goes into a trailer compared with recreating any 30 second speaking scene in a movie. Another difficulty was the lighting as we could not shoot in the day time.
3. The strengths of the production were the acting, props, costume and editing which was reasonably good for one days of work.
4. We would improve on the lighting and setting.
5. A lesson that we'll take is that we shouldn't rush.
