Group 8: Concept Development - Post Animatic

• We have reached the finishing point of the animatic. We have edited all the shots of the storyboards together, showing the appropriate length and right camera movement in each frame.
• There are some final touches that we need to do. This includes putting our track behind the visuals so all can see what is going to happen at what point.
• Furthermore we need to do some last touch ups to make sure all the shots are straight and centrally focused to give the animatic a professional look.
• We have learnt a lot from the animatic.
• Firstly it has given us a good idea of how much footage we are going to need, and what ratio of action to filler shots we will need to prevent the video from being to boring.
• Secondly we can now see what areas we are lacking in. For example a music video should always contain lots of close up shots and have minimal static shots. From our animatic we can now see if we have too many static shots or not enough close ups and then when it comes to filming our first shoot we can improvise and change our planned shots to make them more interesting.
• Lastly we have learnt a lot about the process of making a music video. The animatic has really helped us to map out our shots; we have since learnt that this is vital for any music video to be successful, otherwise it could go wrong and look bad quality.
