Scream remake

For our coursework, we had to film a re-make of a horror film, and our group chose Scream. We had to film the kitchen scene in the opening of the film, where the young woman is on the phone to an unidentified male character.
Due to the fact that we were in school and had to make do with what we had, we ended up filming in the food tech rooms, the closest we could get to an actual kitchen. For our original film, we'll be able to make use of locations out of school grounds, something that will make the film instantly look more professional and polished.
Because we are a group of all girls, we got a friend to be the male voice on the phone, giving us an idea of what it'll be like to audition actors for our own horror film. We were working from a script taken from the film and tried to stick to this as much as we possibly could, although for certain parts, such as the part where the woman plays with the knives, we had to improvise. By working from a script, we got used to the layout of it and how much detail is needed to be included, something that will be helpful when writing our own scripts.
Due to our poor time keeping, the film isn't as polished as we would like it to be, and doesn't make very good use of continuity. However, by filming this, we got more experience with using the equipment, such as the dolly and how to keep it steady when tracking someone. If we were to film this again, we'd definitely allocate ourselves more time to film in, as we underestimated how long the filming and editing process would take.
