The Shining Remake



We had the chance to remake one of three popular horror films. We could choose from Scream, Saw or The Shining. I was in a group of three and we chose 'The Shining' because we thought as there is three characters featured in the hallway scene we could all do some acting.
Our version of the scene is very similar to the proper version, we used the same music, we used a corridor similar to the one used in the film and also kept the shots similar lengths.
Unfortunately the floor in the hallway we used was very bumpy so when the camera tracked the little boy down the corridor it was quite wobbly making that part of the scene look very unprofessional however the rest of the shots we did were precise and reasonably professional looking.
We did not have enough time to use fake blood or find a real axe or a wooden chair because we were filming in school so we couldn't make it look exactly like the scene in the real film.
After filming the scene I have realised that it is important that you look back on the scenes that have been filmed so you can see if there is any problems and if there is you can just re-film that part there and then, because when we went to edit the re-make the shot tracking Danny down the corrider was very wobbly and if we had watched it back there and then we could have made sure it was shaking.
