Animatic

This is my animatic for my final idea 'Drama club', feedback from the class was on the whole very good as people seemed to like the idea of the page turning and thought this was communicated well through the animatic. I felt my use of sound was effective as i had a sound for every character in my title sequence which suggested something about their character. For example one character was a photographer so i included a sound-effect of a camera taking pictures. I had originally decided to zoom in on the photo's of the character on each page of the scrapbook, and although this may be effective for some of the characters, the continual use of a zoom became very repetitive. I have considered using some pans of the pages of the scrapbook at the beginning to establish what the show is about (drama club). it was also suggested i could link my main task with my Magazine advertisement and rather than a scrapbook, have the show based on a group of kids evolved in the production of a school magazine and the sound-effects can be altered to show the role of each charter in the magazine. As the last shot shows the complete scrapbook with the name of the show, i could change the name to that of the magazine with the last shot being very similar to what i would produce for the magazine advertisement.

Overall i feel my animatic was of a good standard, with a vast improvement from the animatic produced at AS. i improved my skills with premier pro by experimenting with zooms and pans as well as adding a sound track and ambient sound effectively. Having watched it back i am happy with the timings of shots and will experiment more with the use of zooms. I will also consider altering the idea to a magazine but am confident that the idea fits generically and is very similar to the opening of shows such as 'Saved By The Bell' where i got some of my inspiration from as well as 'Tracy beaker' and the credits of the film 'Wild Child.'

Deadline for ROUGH CUT: 4TH Nov

Will start to collect materials needed for the rough cut such as the black scrap book and begin cutting out letters and shapes. They will be very basic shapes but most of the letters can be used again for the final cut saving me time when i begin making this. I will also need to get a tripod for the camera, i will use my own camera to take the photographs of the objects moving. I will need to experiment with the shots of the page of the scrap book being turned, as im not sure whether to film this or even include the hand as it turns the page etc.
