Juno Opening scene- Recreated




At the beginning of this project we were shown the original
Juno opening scene and started
noting down all the camera shots we could see
and talked about the effects. In our group (me,
Alison, Alex and Tom B) we started to construct a
timeline to show the length of each clip showing
screen grabs of each one.


When we went to Coleridge we began shooting our
opening scenes. I was taught to use the
cameras and had the role of using it for each shot.
Originally I has a few ambitious ideas for how
to achieve the camera angles which weren't possible
due to the expensive equiptment- Such as
climbing a tree for the helicopter shots. However, despite
this we managed to recreate the scene as
well as possible. The props were also a challenge, such as
finding a guitar and putting guitars in a window. I asked the
music teacher to borrow these and we found reasonable
substitutes for some props such as the sunny delight bottle-
we simply used a water bottle.


Unfortunately I was ill the day we were supposed
to edit the film, but the other's in my group managed to do the job
well, and it was not my role to edit anyway.
However, one thing that should have been in our opening
scene was the little animation clip which I created
in Blender 3d (which is shown and explained below).
I also made a shadowplay logo in photoshop
which would have gone well with the beginning to match the
real version.

Once we did have an issue with the props. At one point,
Instead of carrying the sunny delight (in our case
it was a water bottle), Juno appears to be carrying
pieces of paper. Unfortunately we did not realise this until it
got to the editing stage and our project was coming to a close,
otherwise we would have reshot the scene.
