Animatic

After completing our finished storyboard we then needed to turn it into an animatic ( a rough cut of what our opening). To achieve this we firstly took photos of each frame and put them onto photoshop to change them to a suitable size by cropping them down, then edited them slightly. We added spotlights in different scenes and also played around with the levels to create a more dramatic effect. We then put all the images on Premiere pro to create a video, we added different diegetic sounds such as footsteps and also included non diegetic music. We edited the video to create a real fast paced thriller opening by using various cuts and fades to slow the pace down creating suspense.

Here is our first draft of our animatic, after completing it was then reviewed by our teacher who then gave us different ways of improving the animatic. 

Effective choice of music/ although it will be copyright so we need permission 

Good use of angles/diegetic/distance/ good editing but need more variety   

Some good diegetic sound, need to include a lot more

Sort out final actors, locations, shooting schedule

Overall, needs a lot more development, especially during the flash back scene.
