Animatic

By producing an animatic, we can now save a lot of time when editing our video and will have a basic idea of what it will look like. Making this involved drawing a lot of stick men, and making them live a story that we would like to portray in our video. It has also given us an idea on the types of angles, duration of the shots and the types of shots that we will be using. We then filmed our storyboard clips individually and uploaded them to Premiere. Here we have been able to edit them and make them fit our track.
This will eventually be a great help as we will be able to replace our clips easily with our own finished clips.
Because they are all now exactly in time with the song time, it means that we can work out how long we want clips to last for and leaves us less room for mistakes.
After finishing our animatic, we closed up the gaps that we had with filler shots to make sure that we would be able to get enough footage to create a four minute video.
We can also make sure that the shots will fit the timing of the track and fit together well. Also by including effects into our images, it means that we can see what they will look like when they are placed on our shots.
Thanks to creating this animatic we have now realised how much time we will need to give ourselves to shoot our shots and have now realised that it may be a bit more complex than we first thought.
