Reverse Engineering



We started our clip 3 minutes in to the professional clip and recreated the last minute. Although it took us a long time to decide the clip I felt that this was a good choice because it was simple and didn't have any fancy VFX or high angle shots that would have been hard to achieve. To plan the clip Sam, Aaron and I split the clip into 3 parts that were about 20 seconds long and we storyboarded these separately. I also scripted my part of the clip.
