1. EXT. SHERMER HIGH SCHOOL - DAY

During Brian's monologue, we see various views of
things
inside the school including Bender's locker.

 BRIAN (VO)
 Saturday...March 24, 1984.  Shermer
 High School, Shermer, Illinois.
 60062.  Dear Mr. Vernon...we accept
 the fact that we had to sacrifice a
 whole Saturday in detention for
 whatever it was that we did wrong,
 what we did was wrong.  But we think
 you're crazy to make us write this
 essay telling you who we think we
 are, what do you care?  You see us
 as you want to see us...in the
 simplest terms and the most
 convenient definitions.  You see us
 as a brain, an athlete, a basket
 case, a princess and a criminal.
 Correct?  That's the way we saw each
 other at seven o'clock this morning.
 We were brainwashed

I wasn’t in the group at first so i missed the filming process however i was allowed to edit the my own version of the opening. the breakfast club opens wit an voice over so it was fairly easy to recreate. The theme of the film is that you should never judge a book by its cover which is a positive message that we felt was nice. it was quite easy as all I had to do was put the clips the others filmed into premier and then put the audio of the narration over the top. When I edited the clips i tried to make is flow as if someone was walking trough the school. i think it came together quite well and although the camera work was a bit shaky, i think we produced a good film.

my finished film is here: M:\Students\Year 12\Abby Good
