R+P Post 13: Our Animatic

For the next stage of pre-production, my group and I created an animatic storyboard comprised of still photos we took around school. We tried to match the pictures as closely as possible to what we had actually planned for the shots using locations around school that would work, any props we could find and ourselves as stand ins for the real actors.

After taking the pictures, we edited them on Premiere, making them the right length of time and added in the soundtrack, voiceover and  sound effects. 

Below is the editing schedule we created at the start of the week to ensure that we would finish in time. 


We created an animatic not only because it is a popular technique among film makers, but also because it brings a storyboard to life and makes it a lot easier to picture the idea and decide if in practice it will actually work.

The animatic process really highlighted for our group the difficulties of shooting through a window and ensuring that what goes on inside is clear to the audience. The pictures we took for the animatic were hard to see because we didn't light inside very well - it needed to be a lot brighter inside than outside for the photos to work. However, after this we spoke to the technician and it was agreed that for the test and actual shoot we could take a proper three point lighting system to help make these shots work.
This process also highlighted how tricky the radio announcement would be to fit in and made us aware that some tweaks to timings and the script, to make it seem like the speech continues even when the audience are 'taken' outside to the stalker POV, would be needed for the final thing.
