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.
