An animatic is a preview of any film, which is produced by successive shots of your storyboard. The animatic will try to recreate what your actual final piece will look like. They are used mainly to test pre production of a film. It can be used to rule out any problems with productions as well.
I made my animatic by taking individual pictures of my storyboard. Then I uploaded the pictures to premier pro to start the editing phase. An animatic uses the pictures and brings them to life. So the additional notes on camera angles I tried to recreate using my editing skills. The use of movement of the car shows how I tried to bring the animatic to life. Once I had put the pictures together and added movement the animatic is formed.
I used thriller music to present the genre of the film in the animatic. I also used sound effect to recreate the actual filming. The sound effect I used was the car engine starting. This is because in one of the pictures I had keys in the ignition.
Overall idea of an animatic is correct but you need to be a bit more careful about what you write. An animatic does not 'recreate' a film as it is a pre-production step -this means it takes place BEFORE the filming.
ReplyDeleteYou could also explain what you did and why better (e.g. adding motion using key frames to produce a better visual of what the shot would look like. Exporting as a .mov which is an easy to view/share/upload format).
Try and include examples when making statements (e.g. name the sound effects you used -scream, footsteps, wind blowing?)
