Evaluation of Animatic

Evaluation of Animatic 

The storyboarding and animatic is an essential part to our music video as we can refer back to it when we need to. It helped us to decide on what shot choices to have where especially when we started to play the music. 


Making the animatic, took quite a long time longer than I initially expected. We started by drawing our storyboards, so we had every shot. Then we cut the storyboard up into the individual shots so it was easier to film them we then stuck them to a big piece of paper in order. We then pinned them up on a wall and shot each piece of the storyboard for 10 seconds, in order to make sure we had enough of each individual shot. 

Once we had shot each individual shoot of our story board we uploaded them onto final cut pro along with the music, we then began the task of putting the shots in order to our timeline and making adjustments to the beat and points in the music. Then once we had gotten the music onto final cut, we started setting the markers on the beats we tried to use the markers as much as possible in the editing process as it makes the cutting and placing shot much quicker also we could put each shot precisely were we wanted it. we tried to follow our timeline closely so we had to be careful how much performance aspect there was compared to the narrative, and whether everything was in proportion to the timeline and initial idea.


we chose to use lots of our shots of the band as it will reflect the star image of the band and they way the are placed in the shots with the rock band layout with lead vocals at the front with the guitarists and bass players behind with the drummer at the back. 


The story board gives us material to refer back to when shooting it also helps to develop ideas and give us a list of shots to write on the shooting schedule. 


Since we have completed our animatic we have made some changes to the set design but it will make the set allot more interesting for the band and dancers.
