Our StoryBoard Animatic

A story board is a sequence of drawings, typically with some directions and dialogue, representing the shots planned for a film or television product. It enables us to visualise the camera shots and narrative that will eventually appear as a music video on the screens. We video'd our story board and edited the footage in time with the music in order to allow us the visualise our final creation.

Feedback from our storyboard:

 Advantages:

• The pictures allowed us to visualise what our final product will look like
• It allowed us to see whether our narrative will fit in time with the music
• Having this story board will also allow us to be more organised or our filming day as we will know the timings and the shots to be used beforehand 

Disadvantages:

• The pictures in the animatic are standstill and so therefore it is hard to visualise certain shots. For example, a picture that is meant to show a long time lapse will be hard to visualise with a single picture
• The drawing is not very good and so therefore it looks unprofessional

This process of visual thinking has allowed my group to brainstorm more ideas and play around with the Music video until we were completely happy with our final Idea.
