ANIMATIC - 13TH JANUARY 2016

STORYBOARDING

After developing our initial ideas, we decided that we should brainstorm our potential ideas and then sketch them on a storyboard to enable us to see how the shots will go together and ensure that they all went in time with each other. Whilst we were doing this, we were carefully listening to the song and writing down the timings to ensure that no shots were too long and ensure that we had enough shots to fulfill the whole song. This was a very lengthy but worthwhile process because the video is going to be a combination of performance and concept, which means that we needed to have an equal spread of both, so that the audience could clearly distinguish between the two. We believe we have made the performance element clearly different from the concept by having a clear location for the performance to add to its intensity and simplicity. The close up will be used throughout the performance part and this will allow the audience to engage with the emotion that the character is feeling. After we made our storyboard, we thought that an animatic would be a great idea because we could sequence all of the shots alongside the timings we had got from the track and line it all up to ensure that it all flowed appropriately and would keep our audience interested. We were really pleased that throughout the storyboarding process we decided to use timings to draw the shots because it ensured that we had enough shots and the correct duration to last the whole song. Once we had pieced all of the shots together and cut the shots using Sony Vegas Pro 11, we rendered the video and uploaded it to YouTube. This was also quite exciting because it was basically the draft of our actual music video and allowed us to envision what our music video might actually look like. After this, I thought that the shooting script needed to be completed and therefore went through the whole storyboard and noted down the shot duration, the actual shot, shot transition and a brief description of what was going to happen in the shot. Due to the fact that none of our group are that artistic in terms of pencil to paper drawing, the shooting script just supported what was going to happen in each shot and makes it nice and clear for when we begin the actual shooting process. Overall, the storyboarding process was really beneficial because it has given us direction as a group and we now know exactly what we need to shoot and this ensures that we manage our time as efficiently as possible because we have a short period of time to complete it all and so it has really focused us and allowed us to focus on when we are going to shoot, where, who and what with.
