Evalutation of storyboard task

The point of a story board is to enable the director to visualise the flow of camera shots and how they will eventually appear on screen. The first rough draw up of a story board allowed us to see what would work, which shots would look good and how much time to give to the performance side and the narrative. Words are broken down into a series of actions and movements that we visualise to be happening at this point of time. Most importantly it showed us how the narrative would come across on screen to an audience. It also showed us how many shots we had and the variety of each, so we could see if we had to many close ups and mid shots.

Key moments that represent are concept is when an action falls right on the beat of the music, so when she is pushed off the chair and is hanging it is to the biggest beat in the song, which helps to emphasise it. It also helps us construct the understanding of our performance as it helps us build up the story and make it into an understandable chronological order, we can see what needs to go where, what shot would be most appropriate and how long each should be.

After completing our animatic i felt confident that it made sense and shots were in time to the music, however it felt that some of the shots were to long and needed to be shortened, so the method of the story board is useful in this respect as it told us what was wrong, if we needed to add more shots or if some were to slow or to quick, because of this story board it means we can address these problems before our actual shoot day which will save time when we are actually shooting if we know exactly what is happening when, where and how long for.

I thought our concept was well constructed and their was plenty of performance time which will connect well with our star image as they are a lot about the music they play, and that they play it, and nothing is fake or mimed.

Overall, i think the animatic process went well and also got us back into the routine and ideas of editing before actually doing our shoot.
