Finally, here is the animatic of our short film's first two scenes. Unlike the music video animatic I produced for my preparatory task, the purpose of this animatic is not to show exactly and precisely how our film will look; it is to establish the content and general ordering of the shots, sounds and effects we intend to use. As a result, although the scenes will only be around a minute in length each, the animatic is much longer, because I spend time expanding upon the relevance of each shot and at the end talking about other aspects. Basically, this animatic is a rough but detailed guide of what we are aiming for.
Tom and I decided the animatic should show the first two scenes because we feel these are the most complex, and probably also the most important. Having these scenes as an animatic will allow us to preview the film to people to get early feedback and suggestions, if we feel this is necessary. We have also had some different ideas about how the first two scenes should be ordered, so, if time permits, I may produce another animatic that shows the other idea of intercutting the scenes.
excellent work Blaine - it is a clear explanation of your intentions, good use of language to evidence understanding of media concepts and genre conventions. I enjoyed the range of shots and your consideration of sound - i am intrigued and looking forward to the experience of watching this film.
ReplyDeleteMy main critique would be that one of your animatic/presentations needs to consider the audience/institutions more explicitly - reference audience enjoyment/distribution/effects models and or and how you are representing thier needs through your production

This looks like it is going to be really interesting to watch when finished. I really like the isolated, simplistic feel that there is in the piece, not a criticism as it must sound, but how it feels very quiet and lonely. I love the setting for the opening shots, will look great when filmed.
