Dexter Remake- My Evaluation

When remaking the opening titles of 'Dexter', some aspects that i thought would be easy to film, turned out to be quite complicated especially when trying to get the right shot. As the opening scene mostly consists of close-ups, they were quite tricky to film and keep the camera steady without using a tri-pod. It was also quite difficult to cut out extra background noise and distractions. We each took turns in filming a different part of the sequence, for example I would shoot the cooking of the bacon& eggs and the making of the coffee while Georgina would film the bathroom shots and Danica would film the rest. As some supplies were not available for us to access we had to improvise and use what we thought looked realistic, for example we had no red meat so we had to use bacon, we didn't have a coffee machine at hand so we used regular coffee granuales and a normal mug. This however, did teach me to get supplies ready before we start filming incase something happened and to be more prepared. Considering this, I am happy with the final remake, it looks quite effective and similar to the original piece and it was not as time consuming as i thought it would be.
