Animatic Storyboard and Feedback:

Each of us drew pictures of each shot from the music video. We tried to make our drawings as detailed as possible. We then filmed each shot up against a wall for about 10 seconds. We really enjoyed the process of edting this animatic storyboard. We tried to cut to the beat and keep the shots moving quite fast to look interesting. Although we had a few technical problems with the computer and Final cut as it crashed on us and ended up starting over a few times!! So we have learned to save our work regularly!

We then showed our animatic storyboard to the class and teachers and received constructive critisism and feedback...

We were told that our opening scene in the hallway needed to have specific chaos in it! We needed to think very carefully about every person and item in the room so that it appears like messy choas from a wide shot. As out animatic drawing wasn't very clear as to what the chaos consised of.

We were also told to think where every scene should be shot... The studio? Or on location?
Luke found our preformance element unclear in teh animatic drawings.. and tols us that you need to have a specific preformance scene with the band members, preferably in the Tea Party Room. We also need to think carefully about the specific decorations we are going to use in each room to transform it into the scene we want. Luke was also unsure about our ending in the classroom and whether it made sence! So we will need to overlook this again and figure out how to make it work! Does she even need to wake up in the classroom? We will discuss this in detail as a group.
