Our Animatic

We created our animatic by taking individual photos of each scene on our storyboard. After this we inserted them into a program called 'iMovie' and added the soundtrack to it. Creating our animatic helped us gain an insight into the way that the music and scenes work together. It allowed us to visualise our idea and narrative better, as well as how we are going to film them. Furthermore we learnt how to rhythmically cut to the beat and therefore we were able to match what was happening on the screen to the music. As well as this it also helped us to realise what camera angles we wanted to include in our music video. For example, more wide shots of the dancers exercising to cut to the beat alongside the close-ups of their routines. Moving forward we know that we need to improve on a few things, one of which is the length of the shots that we took as the shot duration was too long, as well as possibly adding another narrative strand or focus more on the DJ in the studio as this will help to enhance the video and sell the artist's image.

Feedback on our animatic:

The feedback we received was very useful in allowing us to see what mistakes we have made and therefore what we can improve on.
