Animatic

To help visualise what are film is going to look like. We needed to make an animatic. An animatic is a preliminary version of a film, produced by shooting successive sections of a storyboard and adding a soundtrack. Now that we had our storyboard in the final order, the making of the animatic could begin. To start, we photographed each individual part of the story board, and then placed them into Adobe Premier Pro. From here, we arranged the photographs and set them to the right amount of time that we wanted the shot to last for. We then looked at the kind of cuts & transitions that we could make. Most of our cuts are going to be straight cuts whilst we do have a few cross dissolves in there to keep the fluidity of the piece going when changing the scene. We then added in the music for the piece. As we did not need to use the exact music, I used a piece from the 'Dark Knight Rises' sound track by Hans Zimmer. This piece of music reflects the vibe and feel that we want our final piece to have. 








Once the animatic was made, we needed to present it. After we did this we got a number of constructive comments: 
    - Add movement to the animatic
    - Use technical language when presenting
    - Look at the evaluation questions and refer to how our film is targeting/answering these questions
    - Look at how to create meaning - how are we targeting different social groups 
    - What is the specific genre of the piece
