Animatic

                 

Here is the animatic finished and for people to see what we have came up with for our music video. Completing the animatic was a long process but i can say we have achieved it successfully, those who will look on either mine or other members of the group (Megan, Charlotte and Tolga) will see that our animatic fits well with the music and knows what each shot goes with what part of the music.

The reason why we have created an animatic is it creates a clearer vision of what our video will look like rather than looking at the storyboard sheets without the music.

Storyboards...

STORYBOARDS.

Here are the completed storyboards that our group have produced. Over all we have 95 storyboard shots, this is one of the reasons why it has took so long to complete as a group we have had many things to discuss and as you can see there are a lot of shots which have been carefully thought about so we know what happens in each shot to when we come to start filming our music video. 

A positive outlook from creating our shots is we thought about timing for each one and added how many seconds each one will be.  Also we added colour which i think gives you a feel of what we want our video to look like, something from colouring the shots is it won't be a dahl video it will be colourful. We have produced storyboards that are clear and concised that are easy to follow not only for us but for other people to see if they wanted to know what our music video will be about. 

Feedback.

Feedback for our Pitch...

These are the feedback sheets from our pitch, thankfully we got given good feedback which we can take and work on it to improve.

Our postive comments were;

- We produced good information on our record label (RoughTrade),

- Thought about our locations well, we want Greenwich to be our main location to film. For our performance we will be filming at school, as we have the facilities such as; drum kit, bass and guitar,

- A clear idea of what we want to do. (Storyboards will be added to the blog as well as animatic here you will be to see what we have came up with and what we hope to achieve as a group for our music video),

- The idea of how we want to look as a band,

- Lastly we gave good detailed information of our backstory of our band to show how we got to where we are today.

Comments to improve;

- Where we want to film in Greenwich this could be a little tricky as we may have to ask for permission to film certain places there, also travel and health and safety,

- Our narrative needs a little more improvement.

Overall i think our feedback is positive but i know a couple of changes are needed which are in progress and will be on the blog soon.

Journal/Storyboards/Animatic

I think myself and the group can all say it has been a struggle doing the storyboards and trying to get our ideas onto paper.  We have finally finished our storyboards, with colour and now putting them into an animatic. From doing this task of the process of our music video, i think we can all take something from it and realise what we would do differently for next time. Where we have spent a lot of time creating the frames as well as taking our time so the seconds fit with the song, and had something for each shot. As we have started to create the animatic and it slowly seeing a vision of what our music video could look like realistically, we have noticed a couple of things that we didn't actually need in the first place for example we have deleted shot number seven from the animatic due to it being irrelevant to our music video.

Creating the storyboards has been stressful and time consuming for the whole group, due to wanting to produce something successful and making a music video that will work for us and fits with the song we chose Republica-Ready To Go. Even though creating our music video is a good way to promote our band DragonFly we have came up with ways that promoting is used today. We have ideas where fans will be chasing us, reading a newspaper and will be us on the front of it etc.

Charlotte has been assigned with the role of leader/director as she will tell us what to do and keep having us with something to do which is a good thing as we want our music video to be successful. Tolga will the camera man for our video as well as lighting so really he will mostly be based with the production side of things, roles that still need to be assigned are props/locations and make-up/costume this is to be decided between myself and Megan but we could work between these roles between ourselves.

The animatic is currently being made and will uploaded onto the blog when it is completed along with feedback.
