Storyboard Animatics and evaluation

We edited our storyboard together using the software Final Cut Pro to produce the animatics for our music video. Animatics are extremely useful to have when it comes to producing the music video, it visually shows us what it is going to look like and helps us to see if we need to change any shot choices to help us to achieve exactly what we need when it comes to the actual shoot, as well as reminding us how to use final cut pro and how to cut the clips to music successfully.

I think our animatics were very successful, we have cut the storyboard in relation to the beat of the song whilst using range of different shot lengths to keep the pace going and keep the viewers interest.

Creating the animatic ensures that we have enough shots to fit the song, I was worried that we would not have enough however by creating the animatic it made me realise that the amount of shots that we have produced is perfect.

The only weakness of our animatic is that some of the drawings were not done to the highest standard however I dont think this really matters, just to get the overall perspective of what the video will look like. I think that we will more or  use this animatic as a guideline when producing our storyboard and will try to use all these elements when producing our music video.

I think the narrative represents the star image quite well, it is presented in an alternative Indie style as the music video will feature a confusing "perfect world" which is falling apart, using surreal looking dolls and interesting quirky sequences, which I think would appeal to our "alternative" target audience. I also think we have constructed our band to reflect our star image very well.
