Animatic




This animatic is to show a rough version through drawings of what the thriller opening will look like. The transitions aren't exact, and the timing will need to be adjusted to fit the movements of the actors. By putting all the different pictures together we can evaluate whether there is enough shot types, whether the shot will compliment the movements that will go with the scene and whether we need to adjust the shots.
From making the animatic we decided that maybe we needed a few more varied shots. We saw that we had a lot of straight mid shots with the characters, therefore maybe turn it into a wide shot or into a extreme close up. We also got a feel for the timing that it will take for each scene and how we might edit the time to suit the concept. This meant longer shots on the running and quite quick sharp shots when the character of Edward is looking nervously around for the character Steve.
Also, from the animatic we have seen that the setting/location we have chosen for the opening is perfect for the concept and the shot types, everything that we need. The animatic is suited around the chosen location and this strengthens our thriller as when it comes to shooting the film we know whereabouts each shot is going to take place.

  1. This post would be strengthened by a discussion underneath: what was the purpose of this animatic? What did you learn from doing it? Did it mean you needed to change any of your plans?
