Group - Animatic Storyboard

The purpose of the task is to have a visual guide of our opening sequence using the storyboard. This means we have a rough estimate of how long our sequence will be and the duration of each shot. To create the animatic we inserted the videos of our storyboard into the timeline. As a group, we already had a good idea of how long we wanted the shots to be. In order to get the right duration for the shots, we visualised the shots and expressed how long we thought each shot should be and then came to a decision. We inserted 2 sound effects which we got from freesounds.com We did not put in the rest of the effects due our group intending to records the sounds when on site and creating the soundtrack ourselves.

From this task we have learnt about the duration of different shots. For example, after the scare, we increase the cutting rate to fast, we learnt that in order to make a fast cutting rate we have to make the duration of shots less than a second long whereas before we thought 1 second would be short enough. We also learnt about how important the duration of a shot will be to maintain and create tension throughout our opening sequence. Also by doing this task, despite the editing of the animatic being basic, we have become more use to using premier which is very helpful for us when it comes to editing our footage.
