My Animatic

Animatic Feedback From The Class:

• Love the title at the end, really effective. Great animatic.

• Spelt starring wrong, the music with the sound effects are good and flow nicely. As it gets more dramatic you change to suddenly between tracks I think.

• Music was very good, made you feel sad, sound effects were clear as to what was going to happen. The mixture of sound effects and piano was good! Pictures were clear so I was able to see what was happening, title was a bit too random, didn't fit.

• Sad music in the background with images of a small child and then the music drops to a drone and an image of an older woman who could be the mum appears to see that something has happened, as you hear her scream, good shot of the location with the police tape and the news appearing of the child's death.

• I like the transition between the shots I really like the different music, but maybe you could turn down the nice music and turn up the other music to give it a more eerie feel.

• The sound effects are good but the music over powers it at times. The titles are also very clear to read.

Equipment Proficiency

This is a video of our class practicing to use the filming equipment, in preparation for
filming our own movie openings. We had a chance to use the dolly, the crane and the shoulder camera.

This is me putting the poles together for the camera to roll on for the dolly.

This is me and Olivia putting the camera onto the poles for the dolly.

This is me practicing with the crane.

This is to show you the planning I have done for my research, theory work and schedule for the making of my movie opening.

Narrative Ideas

Plot: 

An auntie and child walking down the beach and the child picks up the shoe and asks what it is, the auntie then goes over and discovers the body and screams. The forensic scientist tells the policeman that there is no evidence of what happened to the girl, until the results of the tests come back from the lab.

Story Board

I have decided to change my location to Pontac beach, which is where the scenes will be set. I also may decide to use more than one policeman and forensic scientist in the crime scene.

Preliminary Task Practice

This is a screen grab to show a whole class exercise we did on learning to use Final Cut Pro. I found it very interesting and for something that looks very complex I managed to get the hang of it quite quickly and can't wait to use it for my preliminary task and the video that I am going to create.

We then moved onto Soundtrack Pro to add music to the video. Again, it looks very complex but is easy once you know what you're doing. I have found that this has helped me a lot to get to grips with the new two programs, so that I can use it to do my preliminary task and video.
