Group - Music Video Animatic

• Both Frankie and I shared the tasks of drawing out the frames for our animatic. Once drawn, the frames were scanned into a computer, placed onto a timeline on DaVinci Resolve, edited and accompanied by a section of our chosen song
• The actual drawing of the frames did not present a huge challenge as we both had a clear idea of the content of the shots we aimed to shoot and the order in which they would be placed to form the narrative.
• However, where the challenge manifested itself was within the range of camera techniques and movements that we would choose to employ. This was due to the fact that we had chosen to take a more spontaneous and varied approach to the actual operation of the camera as it suited the spontaneous nature of our video and those we had drawn inspiration from. Therefore we decided to plan a range of movements, such as horizontal tracking and following shots, that we would definitely include in our video, and applied them to some of the frames in our animatic. 
• With regards to Both of our AS animatics from last year, this animatic included a wider range of frames that were drawn with more attention to framing and detail rather than just content. Also, due to the fact that we were shooting a horror opening for AS, we could not be completely sure of the audio, titles etc. that would accompany the footage until shooting/editing was completed. This year, however, because we are shooting a music video, the ability to add the audio of the song to the animatic gives a clearer idea of what the end product will look like and how it fits with our framing and camera movement.
