HEAT:DIRECTED BY MICHAEL MANN "Heat" (1955) is a classic crime movie directed by Michael Mann. It's known for its exciting story and intense action scenes.

Make sure your completed recreation video is uploaded to YouTube and embedded in the blogpost. 1) Type up your feedback from your teacher in full. This is a good recreation that meets the brief. Picking a school-based scene made sense and I like the way you’ve deliberately picked locations in the school to match as closely as you could to the original clip. Co-ordinating a recreation with five actors is not easy – either in organisation or camerawork! You’ve done well to recreate some of those shots effectively.
